That will almost certainly be cool and wet, although warm and wet could happen. That’s the joy of living near the Gulf… It was pretty chilly yesterday morning at the BOL, but it did warm up and it was a beautiful sunny day. Got chilly again when the sun went down though. National forecast has us in clear weather for a couple of days anyway.
I did get some smaller things done. Got two sets of shelves up in the garage, and some stuff moved to them. Took down a rickety old shelf ‘thing’ that was left behind for us. It worked for a while, but if not wedged into the corner and held in place by a metal cabinet, it wouldn’t have stood for 10 minutes.
Took a few minutes and broke some more concrete. I feel that in my arms today.
Took an hour and worked on my truck. On the way up I noticed that only a little bit of water was spraying out of the window washer. Topped up the tank, but it was mostly full. Since I had the compressor at the BOL, I thought I’d try blowing air back through the nozzles to clear out any blockage. Didn’t work, but did reveal the issue. There is some sort of check valve in the line, and it was broken. Cracked at first, then 40 psig air blew it apart. Had to take a couple of panels off to get to the part, and replaced it with a 1/4″ barb fitting from my drip irrigation parts box. How’s THAT for a prep! Well, a lucky improv anyway. Cheap brittle plastic part. (edit- it may have frozen, I haven’t driven the truck much.) I’ll look it up today and see if I can get a replacement. If not, I’ll just run with the barb.
This was the first time I’ve really towed anything with the new expy and it did fine. Better than I did after moving all that rock by hand.
Today will be moving stuff around, going through auction stuff, returning the trailer, and sorting some stuff out. If it’s dry, I’ll start taking down outside Christmas decorations. Maybe I’ll do some stretching exercises. I really need to get back in the habit.
And of course, I’ll be stacking things. Why don’t you join me?
