Busy weekend.

Had the whole weekend off but was busy none the less.

First, I had to pick up a Graco preasure washer that I won in an estate auction.

I won it with a crazy low bid.








It has no spark and the air cleaner is missing but since it is a modern engine the parts were both readily available and cheap on Amazon.
I should get them tomorrow.

Then I finished building the fuel line on the NPR6 engine for the walk behind tractor.
Not tested yet as my gas cans are empty.

Where I left off last time.

Coupling added.

Compression fitting added.

Fitting up the fuel line for bending and cutting

Fuel line complete
 Next since the last of my angel fish had died I decided to rebuild my fish tank.
I added an under gravel filter pickup and a new center piece as well as giving it a good cleaning.
I don't thing the Picasimus was very happy about the work but he just hid in the corner I wasn't working on.

Ready for new fish.
That was Saturday.

Today, I went back to the pet store and got some new fish.
Was gonna change the lighting and get Glow fish but they want $9 a fish for them so decided on some molly's instead.
I had to go for larger fish otherwise the Picasumus would eat them.
I got 3 Black Molly's, 2 Dalmatian Molly's, and 2 red Gouramis.
Here is a video of the new fish in the tank.


Then I installed a pass-through for my radio cables to get them out of the window.
I can use my window again now.

Inside.  Still needs some finish work.

Outside.  Rubber boot is to keep bugs and drafts out.
I have decided that I am not going to mow my yard for a while.
One, the mower is stuck behind the bike that is in parts.
and two, I like the way the yard looks now.
It is pretty, and the bees like it too.


The picture does not do it justice.
In person, all you see is a carpet of yellow flowers.
After all, it's not a freaking golf course or a park, it's my yard.
I like the flowers.
It has character.
I bet the deer like it too.

Now it's time to relax.
