It's a beautiful morning here. At 6 it was 55?F so I opened up the fish room and the house to grab some of that cool air. Starting on second pot after some water changes and working with the daphnia cultures.
In two hours it's only warmed by about 5 degrees so I figure I've got another hour or so before it time to button things back up for the heat of the day to come.....

Good morning to all. The coffee was great and I still have a little left. The day is starting out pretty warm here with temps already at 75 degrees at 6 am. It's nice and cool in the fishroom tho. The temps stay around 75 all year long down there. |^| |^| |^|
Did my water changes yesterday so today it's just putzing and moving fish. I can see myself getting very wet today. huh I also will probably start up the bbs sometime today. I already saw some wigglers trying to swim so they probably took off during the night.
Otherwise I am just going to chill out and play with my dog. |^| |^| |^| |^| |^|

I was listening to the Columbus station on the way home from Mom's yesterday and they said, "7 weeks until the first game of the season." Fall will be here before we know it! I can't wait either.

Great morning. Rain here this morning. Got the fish room all cleaned up and worked in the 3 Raphael cats I got yesterday at the auction. They are small but 3 dollars for 3 I couldn't pass it up. And yes that's all I bought. My left hand fought with my right hand all day. The right hand wanted to raise that number and bid all day. But the left hand wouldn't let it. THANK GOD. lol

Not the best day here, but not the worst. Got the mountain of laundry done, made a lovely corned beef that braised in beer for 5 hrs at 250. Changed the oil, plug, and air filter on the mower, did fish chores and waited until it was cool enough to mow. She cranked on the first pull. I mowed two swipes, threw a pebble into the side of the French door that is generally closed, and the mower quit. That's when I heard this crinkling sound and saw the door into 1000 piece mosaic. I've been trying to restart the mower off and on ever since. It's not flooded. If anything I think that it's not getting fuel when I push the primer button. I just loaded her into Charlotte. I have the damn dentist tomorrow morning. I'll drop her off at the fix it place tomorrow before my appointment.
Take the plug out and put a couple drops of gas in there. replace plug then try to start
WOW that sucks Liz. Too bad it didn't quit before it broke the door.....
Might be the in-line fuel filter is clogged.
Dennis
..sounds more like old gas..... huh

...which lead to the in-line filter being clogged with gunk LOL ;D
Dennis
I should have done that. I thought about it but I was disgusted and just loaded her up. If I I had a can of that starter stuff. If I had I'd have given it a shot. I'll haul it back out and do it in the morning.
I have a feeling that the gas line is clogged, or something in the fuel system is clogged. I'll look at it again in the morning. I bet I'll end up taking it to the fix it place. This time of year they take forever to get lawn mower repair done. My yard looks like white trash lives here. I'm going to risk turning out the horse again.

LOL That's my brother-in-laws cure-all for mower problems. LOL
Dennis
The gas was new. It was from the can I carry around in Charlotte for when I run out of gas which I do fairly regularly. Chip will be fixing that Tuesday.
Dennis, does your brother have a free range horse like mine used to be until she started making neighborhood visits or is his cure-all the fix it shop? I'd like to fix stuff myself but so often I end up spending time and getting frustrated and accomplishing nothing. It's kind of embarrassing to show up at the fix it shop with a mower and a bunch of parts in a box.
I think he had that problem once so now every spring he tells me if I have trouble getting the mower to run, it's probably the in-line filter. It is, an easy and inexpensive repair, even if it doesn't fix the problem... LOL
Dennis
I think that in my case he may be right. I'll look at it in good light with my glasses on tomorrow. If I think that can replace the gas line and filter myself I'll give it a try.
If I wasn't 765 miles away, I'd swing by and have a look at it for you. ;)
Dennis
I know you would :-*
If ya hit a pebble big enough to stop the engine, it may have sheared to flywheel key in the crankshaft. They don't need to be sheared all the way to keep the engine from starting. It throws off the timing. Taking out the plug and putting fuel in there is the sure way to find out. You could check the spark with the plug wire by removing the plug wire to see if there's spark jumping to the plug when you pull the rope, but fuel in the cylinder is a sure fire way to check.
Thanks. my captain but no, the engine ran for a full swipe across the yard before it quit running. BTW, the mosaic look of the shattered safety glass is actually quite pretty. I'd don't believe I'll think so highly of it when winter comes and cold air starts leaking in from what is now basically a single pain of glass.
