(HOT) seat time

[Anonymous-0]

Spent the last couple of days at my hunting camp doing some very necessary maintenance and man was it hot! Bout a hundred which ain't bad when you're inside in the AC, but when your out in it on a 48 8N for several hours mowing three foot high grass (weeds) and forget to drink anything, it's pretty miserable. Add in the even hotter breeze from the radiator and the fact that I'm old (68) as well as dumb and you get the picture. Then next day it's even hotter but at least I'm mostly in the shade cause I'm gradin' bout a half mile of gravel driveway which is really a lane that's been there for over a hundred years and has lots of trees alongside. The Ford hadn't been started for about three months (hence the much need part of the maintenance) but when the third piston came up on compression it fired and ran strong for both days. Riding the old boy sort of makes up for having to do all the work. Now if I could only figure out a way not to complain and whine about my own laziness!!!

If it's run that infrequently,I hope you're adding some sta-bil in your gas.I add it to my gas,and I run it whenever I get a chance to[that is when my back and arthritis lets me].There is a marine formula that I use that's supposed to counteract the ethanol in the gas.---lha

If I make it to 68 (which that's up to the wife) I hope I'll be able to do that much. Time will tell. Drink plenty of liquids on them hot days.

Like T-Man says - Hope I am still working like that at 68. Unfortunatly I am one of those few young men??(38) that believes in hard work. My wife never wants to leave me at the house alone thinking I will fall out working myself to death. I guess I feel I have to make up for the lack of schooling. (my spelling) HaHaHaHa

Drink at least 3 gallons of water a day!!!!!!
