    Good morning all.

    @roundrocktom glad you're okay. Stuff involving the eye is not to be take lightly. My brother is blind in his left eye since the age of 5 or 6 due to an accident. Kids playing cowboys and Indians with a home made bow and arrow. He wasn't even involved and didn't know the kids playing, just wrong place at the wrong time.

    A little something every chance we get.
    :pccoffee: Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! Well, I guess I better sell the truck. I put in Irridium plugs, using anti-seize about 20K ago. Based on what I read in good old TW (not this one). I really never planned on needing to replace - the ones I took out were obviously 190K old!

    So, yeah, here's to the "taking a while to get started". I don't rush, and then I ran a quick errand. Then, a short power nap. THEN I got to replacing the old "clear" hose and million hose clamps on the greenhouse water system. Most of the clear was getting algae from the sun, so I replaced most of it with blue high temp vacuum hose. Keep the sun out. Work then expanded to fill available time.

    20230427_134823.jpg
    20230427_143706.jpg

    Didn't replace the hose IN the barrel, but I did think cleaning the pickup might be a good idea! Might have been one of the issues....

    And the reservoir in the greenhouse too.

    20230427_160516.jpg

    Only one real problem, shed pump had burst its threads in the winter. Some teflon, and a stretched O Ring...

    20230427_162404.jpg

    Hoses all flooded for the drips to go in today. Then, it looks like I cover the cars. The weather Wolf level is the highest it's been all week for tonight.

    You can get a manual for free online. At worst, you go to the MyToyota owner website. Also, the sales brouchures are available. NOT shop manuals. Those cost bucks.

    Agree with the beer! Take care of yourself Tom! Glad it wasn't any worse.

    Pee Soup fog at my hunting spot this morning with about 100 yard visibility.
    Nothing seen or heard. The Turkeys have a case of lock jaw it seems.

    Hello folks. I don’t post much but I’m off to Florida tomorrow for a week. Going to burn my use it or loose it PTO. Shooting to retire over the summer.

    I am having a hard time spending money. Save all your life for this moment and it’s difficult to splurge. I did buy the wife a new vehicle last week.

    Morning all:

    The vise can be fixed easily Tom, the eyes not so much, glad you didn't end up suffering an eye injury.

    Welcome to the new guys, just remember to fill up the cooler before you step on the porch.
