    Orange fuel?

    Yeah. I recall running into that on your old Sitka fuel dock before the new dock went in. I blamed it on the Continental Redwing hose that is common in SE.

    Deere 710B Backhoe Fuel Woes

    The pencil nozzles are notorious for allowing combustion gas to leak through the nozzle tip into the fuel system. That’s an exaggeration. It happens often enough to throw you for a loop when it does happen. It’s hard to troubleshoot, but you can temporarily put clear tubing on the return...

    Yeah. Bea is a Chinease bot. But, those are the only gurls that will talk with me. Except, that OF girl who I was helping out with nursing school.

    That’s right. And the house keeper picks up his office clothes from the cleaners. As long as those Bechtel checks keep coming. Which brings up a good point. Maybe,…. Soon the AI might make PLC guys obsolete. BeaBlossom might want to learn how to fix greasy tractors, instead.

    This one is probably left over from the Alaska Hwy project and found its way to Western AK. Best picture I could get. It’s in the middle of a pile of treasure.

    If I had a boat like that, I would hoist a flag that says “chillin’ the most” and I would rock that b$tch up and down the coast. Becky could quit her job at the C-store and join me. Until the diesel and the liquor ran out. Then, She woukd probably shack up with my neighbor because he has a...
