Yesterday was a busy day. Started off at the hospital for a screening and then back in the Barn for trash cleanup. The biggest space gains were to be made by cleaning out our camping and sporting goods By opening them up and taking pics to put on FB marketplace. They are there now.

After that I had to move both the 2003 and 2024 Pickups, one into the garage out of the way and then the 2003 to assemble the trash and load. After a trip to the transfer station with the 2003, I spent more time assessing what the disposition of more items was going to be. When I finally had enough of that, I started closing up the barn and garage, took the keys out of the 2003 and went to get the 2024 keys out of the truck and put them on their hooks in the entry.

The problem was the 2024 keys were nowhere to be found. I searched everywhere including both trucks twice. Tried retracing my steps and when that was exhausted, my thoughts turned to how to replace all those keys which include trailer and hitch keys along with the truck cap and the main FOB for entry and start of the truck. I have spares for everything except the FOB. Linda has her own set but the trailer hitch key is one she doesnt have and I just had a spare made for that but have not put in on her key ring, Its still on mine.

The problem seems urgent because we are leaving for the Region 2 Airstream Rally in Pennsylvania next week. I decided I was frustrated enough to look one more time. I thought I may have taken the keys with me hooked on my belt when I went back to load the bags of trash and may have lost them in the process. but if I thought I had loaded on my belt and then got out of the truck and the carabina did not lock, like I have done before, the keys should still be on the seat. On the outside chance that is what happened I looked between the console and the seat.

HBO+ is running negative ads about the candidate for Governor Alan Wilson. The ads seem to be running every 10 minutes. They are so obnoxious they remind me of attacks on the President. I'm voting for Wilson!

While contemplating the refinements to my wheelbarrow design, I decided to do some more work on my Compressed Air system. I had a system line oiler and it developed a leak before leaving NH. I didnt discover why until I hooked it up here. Ive taken it out and decided if I need tool oilers, I will put them in the branch lines. After removing the oiler I installed the Hose Reel (with help from my other half) above the entry door for ease of access. I added a couple quick connectors and ran the main line to the back of the barn to feed Shop Air Tools and the Sand Blast Cabinet. Should finish the air distribution tomorrow. Next big thing is to install permanent Lighting and wire outlets for the entire Barn. I still have so much more to do!

On my way to the barn I noticed what appeared to be an Armadillo! Upon closer inspection it was a turtle. We are at least 1/2 mile from any ponds or streams. took some pics and came back with a google lens desciption of a Chicken Turtle Female because they tend to be about 10" long when they mature. They have a lifespan of 30 years. I thought it might be a Red Eared Slider but did not appear to have the markings and they tend to be smaller.

Today's project started out trying to complete the replacement tub on my 2 wheel wheelbarrow. I got the bottom and the front made yesterday but then today decided to fire up one of my lawn trimmers. After a quarter hour of that I decided to fire up the 2nd one. When that failed I tried replacing the spark plugs and disassembling and cleaning the diaphram carburators. Still no luck starting or getting them to run for longer than a few seconds. I then decided it was time to take them to the small engine shop and began putting them in the bed of my truck. Before putting the second one in, I thought, it might be bad fuel, so I drained the tank and put fresh $30/ gallon premix fuel in. After priming with no choke, it took 3 pulls and it was running like a champ. I took the second one out of the truck and performed the same operation and had the same result. Bad Gas it was.

Took the bike out for a couple of hours today. Last time I rode was December, before leaving for Florida!
