Mixed bag......

7:00 am - Wednesday - February 26th - TWW - 42° F, humidity 28%, wind 6 mph out of the east by northeast.....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 69° F.  On this date in 2013 TLE and I were having lunch in Port Salerno, FL at the Manatee Island Bar & Grill..... 

.....one of my favorite pics of TLE and I.

Tuesday was a mixed bag for us workwise.  While TLE worked to level the site where she is placing her Cowboy Wok, I worked at exposing more of the septic line so we can install a 'T' there, and install the 'hardline' from our black tank sewer connection to the new sewer connection.  You may recall that when Charles and I left off digging the other day we had just barely exposed the black ABS pipe.  In order to install the 'T' I need to completely expose the 3" pipe, and then clear dirt back about 3' on each side where the 'T' will  be installed.....

....I managed to get a 3' section of the sewer line exposed before I decided I had dug enough for one day.  I'll need at least another foot each direction to install the 'T'.  Meanwhile, TLE managed to get her site leveled, and a small mat tacked down under the 'Cowboy Wok'.....

.....next up TLE and I joined forces to move all that lumber we removed for the east side of the garage into the barn where it can be stored out of the weather until we decide what to do with it.  That was probably the hardest thing we did all day.....

.....plus we also moved all of the polycarbonate roof panels we recently removed from the greenhouse roof into the barn......

....we hope to repurpose them in the near future.

By the time we finished that job we were both ready for a nap!  Instead of a nap I just took a rest in one of the anti gravity chairs for about 30 minutes then decided to service the Ford 420 loader.  I needed to top off the hydraulic fluid, check the oil, and coolant levels.  While I was at it I decided to take the plunge and attempt to install the new gauge cluster Charles bought off eBay.  The old one is unreadable, and non-functional.  It would be nice to see the RPM's, and temperature of the engine.   It took me about two hours to do that.....

I took a picture so I could remember where all the wires went

I think one of our furry friends was living in there....I had to vacuum it out

The new gauge cluster....

.....installed

.....regretfully, the only things that work are the check battery light, and the turn signal indicator.  I'll have to do some trouble shooting on the wiring.....but it sure looks nice.....lol!

With that I was finally done for the day.  It was around 3 pm, and I was tired.  TLE used her  'Cowboy Wok' to cook Fajitas for dinner, and were they ever good!  And for the second evening in a row we ate dinner outside....a very nice way to end another TWW day.

Thanks for stopping by!
