Good morning.. raining and 61°f last day of nice weather for awhile. Highs are only going to be in the 40's for the next week.. probably will be cutting down the rest of my crop after today
Cloudy and going to hit 65 here they say. Then same, it turns to shit!! Need to do something productive this afternoon. Maybe cut the lawn!

Going to clean and turn on the gas fireplace tomorrow so I can start enjoying it in the evenings, and mornings. That's the plan anyways!!

I better hit the grocery store this morning I think!!

Happy Hump-day!!

Wow, I haven't heard of water in the gas tank since I left living up north as a kid. Heck the last time I remember any kind of gas being 'bad' was back in the late 80's with Dallas' Stop&Go station gas, which if I remember correctly was a disgruntled employee sabotaging the gas at the refinery or distribution center. No matter, it royally screwed up both my parent's cars.

I know modern gas tanks both in the car and underground station tanks have some pretty effective tech that prevents condensation from forming in the tank and if it does it should drop below the level of the siphons in both tanks. Under things I was pretty sure modern tech had made it so I didn't have to worry about anymore. Learn something new every day.

for me it's suspect at the moment, cause that's the only thing i did, when i left from work i was almost out of gas, went to the station pickup some suds and cigs, bought $8 in gas which was 2 1/2 gal, started fine, when i went to leave that when i lost power etc etc.......the truck is a lemon overall fyi....

Hopefully just a plugged filter. Might have 2 filters...One near the tank and and one in/near the carb.

I saw a new ford pickup on my way to the grocery store, that I hadn't even heard about yet. Looked sharp!!

I'm REALLY hoping that my next vehicle will be an e-vehicle. The 10 year old in me really wants to the Cyber Truck. No I'm not a Musk fan, I think the man is disgusting. I swear that thing meets my fantasies of being both a DeLorian and utilitarian enough to satiate the adult in me, and I'm kind of tired of the standard curves of vehicles.

I doubt I'll find myself in that situation where the Tesla truck is available, affordable, practical, and timely; but I can fantasize.

I like the bronco........but I wish it was less jeep and more bronco. It's like they used the same design and put a blue badge on it.
