busy day

[mckitterick]

Today I:

• Got up early for an eye appointment. Got pics of my eye; for example:
  
  Then ordered some way-cool glasses, and paid for the whole shebang. And do I ever hope I get paid this Friday.



• Bought a new air filter for the Honda scoot and installed it.



• Re-fastened the loose bolt that holds on the scoot's muffler; used a nice coat of Threadlocker to keep it from backing out and rattling.



• Bought a new coil and resistor for the hearse. Installed said parts.



• That didn't give me a spark (grrrr), so scooted back to the auto-parts store and bought a new set of points and a condenser. Still no spark.



• blzblack dropped in and helped with car stuff on his way home.



• Muttered, "Heck with you," to the car and resumed work on the pickup's carburetor.



• Right at sunset, finished rebuilding the truck's carb and gave it a test-fire-up. Vroom, started right up! Good ol' truck. But with the carb all rebuilt, it idles really high... I think I found out why it was sucking so much gas before. Need to adjust it in the daylight.


• After dinner, hit Target for some post-Xmas gift-wrap and storage clearances.


• Wrote this.

Good night, y'all!

Best,
Chris
