Morning

 

[Birds Away]

Up at 0:dark30 every day.
Work the live stock.
Come in and eat a hearty breakfast. These breakfasts have been a part of my life as long as I can remember. Huge 3 meats, gravy, taters, maters, you name it.
Back out until the bell rang for lunch or lunch was brought out to you in the field.
Then drag your dead ass tired body in for dinner.
Rinse off and die.
Get up at 0:dark30 and repeat.

Yep, happy and healthy. No time or energy for mischief.

Do you have a good day a head?

 

[maansmit]

The turkey sandwich I brought for lunch is not appealing. I may have to go out.

Hubby thinks it's the Carb then???

Hubby thinks it's the Carb then???

The fuel pressure regulator is bad. He has never rebuilt the throttle body and I have 213K on the truck so he figures he may as well just rebuild the whole thing instead of just replacing the regulator. It is definitely not the fuel pump. It has plenty of pressure, but as soon as I turn the key off, the pressure drops to zero immediately. He has checked for leaks and has found none in the system so that would indicate it is the regulator. He also changed the fuel filter even though it hasn't been that long since he last replaced it. He did say that he thought I might have had some bad gas in there. That was the first year they had fuel injection so it is a pretty simple system. The suburban is the same set up.

Good Luck Mom45..

I fixed my car Sunday, PITA. Now, I hope nothing breaks again in the near future..

 

[mom45]

It sounds like this isn't a hard fix. It is certainly easier than changing the pump in the tank. We just take the bed off instead of dropping the tank, but that's a PITA too. I can't remember when we last changed the pump in that truck. I know we did it around 2000 but it seems like we did it one other time when it died in the orchard so that would have been at least 5 or 6 years ago.

Beans are on the stove with the ham bone from last night thrown in to the pot.
Having fried green tomatoes tonight as well.

I think we are having fish tonight. Hubby brought home some sweet corn yesterday so I'm thinking fish, corn and salad.

I think our corn should start being ready in another week. Put electric wire up around the patch... how do you like that coons?
