  • Well, have a leak in the left rear wheel of the Diamond T. Guess the brakes are going to put up a fight. So I have to jack it up and tear it back down. Should be somewhat easier since I at least know how it goes together and apart. I am just afraid I am going to find a cracked Wheel cylinder housing. That will be fun, to try to find something like that. I hope it is something simple, but somehow that doesn't seem to be my luck.  We did work on the deck more, got boards cut and laid to near the water faucet. We had our first "campfire" in our fire ring, darn thing was so hot we had to back off a bit. Cats were curious, couldn't figure out what we were doing. Tonight is Scouts, start on the Radio Merit Badge. We will see how that goes. That can be a challenging one. I will bring a few radios tonight, and use a flip chart or erase board for a lot of it. Tomorrow is Elections, and I need to head to Peru also, so that will be a busy day. Need to send in one Radon Monitor for calibration, get that done. I have Inspections through Weds, think I'll schedule any additional ones for next week, that way I can have Thurs-Fri again to work out here. Put away all lawn chairs and glider for winter, move the concrete blocks out of the basement so I can position the corn furnace and get it ready to install. Need to get a 6-4" adapter for it as well. Need to work on the stairwell lights for basement, get that done so I can get sheetrock up. I really need to get that done so I can move windows over there, get more things put away on shelves. Make some room to work in. With a little luck I won't hear anything from anyone this week, usualy if enough time elapses everyone cools down and things move forward. Hope that is the case. Well, best scram, kick the boys out of bed, and fire up the hair cutters. Laters...
