A cloudy day with a high of 2c 36f. Snow is gone from the garden, that garlic better be tough!
My bike front tire, which I reseated the bead on a few days ago, is losing some pressure.
Oh well, it's not really riding weather.
It's funny how things work out or don't sometimes in your life. A story for today. The other day someone was selling a bunch of hydraulic stuff that came off a street sweeper. There were some hoses, a 3 spool hydraulic control valve, and some cylinders. I was most interested in the valve, as I've been dreaming of building a loader for one of the 400 series tractors I have. He had everything at 250 CAD, and about 3 hours away from me, which means I'd have to be gone from home for 6 hours. With two small children at home, two jobs, I can't go away from home for that long, so I posted for help here and on the other case site. Didn't have much hope, but then I got a message from Mike, the owner of enginebore.com. Someone he knew lives in the town where the parts are located, and works in Toronto. Turns out that, whether I like it or not, one of my jobs takes me to Toronto sometimes every week. And that person was willing to help for a small token. Getting the parts this week.
let's go, it's finally time to blow.
