Coffee anyone ?

[Baymule]

Good morning y’all! A friend is coming over to visit and drink coffee this morning, then my plans are to finish painting the rest of the new siding outside. I really need to finish it. Then I can trim out the windows, need to paint those boards too, before I put them up!

I'm having coffee and doing laundry for DS. Have him installing the new sensor stuff in truck. It's a time trade off! . Sure hope this fixes the problem. I'll know in a few days -- it runs great until it doesn't . At idle flutters, shuts off, won't restart and sometimes bad acceleration. Then clears and on good behaviour. The scans point to this sensor. The fuel line filter replaced, pump checks out, injectors cleaned....this should be last of the run. . Not buying another truck this month!

Beyond that, too much wind and too much moisture from several days of rain to garden...boo! But pastures are loving the whole situation. So I am too -- less hay to buy!! A few more goats left to kid, should be done this month. The kids out there are so entertaining!

It turns out in a place like this, you might want to check the windchill.

OH yeah! Wind when it is 90°F is useful, not so much when it is near freezing ... or substantially below.

I seriously thought you were talking about humans for a minute.

You need more sleep.

We have a break on the wind today. I have stabilized #2 greenhouse and prepped containers for plants. Presently in a carbohydrate coma from lunch. Ranch showing postponed. I’m betting that wasn’t a serious offer.

What an experience...my engine is NOT like ones "they say" is in my truck! . Sensor had no home where it supposedly should be. Time spent to take apart, reassemble and search for any alternative....no lift available. So will need a trip to an expensive garage OR a car trailer to ex DH to use his. 35 miles. To find codes for ID of what's in there. Bought truck used but, I've had it 8 yrs. So bummed! I need to work all week. it's a problem.

On a good note, we didn't get a frost last night...39 at get up. May be best news I get all day! weather to be mid to upper 70s all week -- after today's 60s -- and no more rain until Thursday night. . May see about some garden work today.

I came downstairs this morning to find on of my groups of chickens outside. Sometimes the latch on the old horse trailer doesn't work, but the door will make you think it is closed. I will have to do a head count later to see if any critter had a midnight chicken snack on my dime.

It is also snowing this morning. Should change to rain later just in time for me to go out and start moving dog kennels. There was supposed to be a 3 day stretch of gorgeous weather this week - 65* and sunny. But now there are thunderstorms in the forecast every other day. Looks like I will be working in the rain regardless. Luckily, I'm not made of spun sugar.

My pasture is already waterlogged! Not good. I have a local guy coming this week to re-gravel our driveway and make a stone pad for the barn we are having delivered at the end of this month. It is going to be a sloppy, muddy mess. Oh, Spring!

It’s a sunny day, a high today of 84. I think I’ll see if I have enough paint to finish the end of the house. Maybe I’ll cut and paint trim.

Often there are multiple engines in a given "model" of a vehicle.
