I flew in from Seattle to Scottsdale small airport to have a black (Uber Black that is...) driver drop me off just to start it up. WTF! from 72 to 111 degrees F. and the damned thing fired up immediately! Now I have to drive it! and I will....

sidebar: I have a battery cut off switch that I use and I blow out the fuel from the Webers throats prior to leaving "the oven"///////// That is what I did.....

I didn’t work on the 914 because I drove it TO work then home but what kept me from working on it other than it doesn’t need anything? 8 hour of power washing the house!
I would like to hook up the CHT gauge before Okteenerfest, but priority is house projects -250 ft of railings , 1000sqrft of deck and 500+ spindles to clean- I am getting too old for this! Blew out the power washer hose, but back of house is done, tomorrow is on to the front and then tackle replacing all soft lines on the 2000 528i.

Once all that is done I can sit down and enjoy reading my Panorama mag

Leveled the sub-floor in the "sun" room, which used to be a kitchen with really ugly linoleum tiles and started laying down 2" strips of red oak hardwood to match the rest of the house.
This will probably keep me busy for a few weekends.

Still working on those damn hardwood floors. Had to replace some of the sub-floor because it had termites in it at some point it the past.

Just couldn't get myself to patch over it, had to replace the whole thing ...

Yesterday, replaced our leaking 50 gallon water heater with a Takagi tankless heater.

Today, had to take pull the dishwasher in the kitchen and take it apart to clean and repair that.

Both working so time to clean up and get ready for a bike ride, haven't ridden my bike in almost 2 weeks, either too hot, on vacation or sick.

I hear ya, Mike ... our dishwasher recently developed a leak that I need to address. I fixed it years ago, guess it needs new seals again. At least it's the portable/roll-around type, so it's not as bad as a built-in.

Easy

Cleaned out the basement at my parents old house

Went to Mom's new apartment installed a closet rod, a shower caddy, and a bed skirt.

Went to my daughters house looked at flooring

Came home went to the shop, tested an A/C unit I think I will install it. And then took apart the mower to find a mouses nest under the cooling tin on the engine. And started doing the tune up, and clean up of the engine. Need to replace fuel hoses, add a Tach / Hour Meter, and oil drain line support. Things I do to all my small engines now.

They sell kits hombre! Ya can go passive or active with a active portable LP fired kit.

Or....the special homeboy kit with a black rubber hose coiled on the roof of your house with an aquarium pump and a beer can float.

Let know compadre.



I didn't work on mine either cause I am looking for another teener since I sold my other.
