What a day!

It is dad’s birthday today, he turned 84.

That’s the good part of the say. Lol.

At 930a I prepared to go fill the two 30 gallon tanks in Taylor. The old one with the white cap and two wheels holds diesel fuel and the one with the black cap and four wheels holds gas. I loaded the two wheel tank in the truck and then noticed that the second tank had fuel in it. As I was told the gas tank was empty I of course assumed I forgot to empty the diesel tank. I proceeded to empty the tank in the tractor and it filled it to the top. Great now I have a full tractor tank. I headed in to shower before heading to town. While in the shower I realized that I may have just filled the diesel tractor with gasoline. OH SHIT! Once out of the shower I turned off the fuel line on the tractor, it was now past 1030a.

It was decided that i would verify if I screwed up and if so, would correct the issue today.

Yep, I did fill the diesel tractor with gasoline! Thank goodness it was not ran yet. I now stared correcting my error.

First I drained the tank and then removed the fuel filter. Then I proceeded with filling the tank with water to flush the remaining gas out of the tank. Once the tank was drained I added air to the tank to pressurize out the remaining water in the tank and line, the fuel filter was still off.
I cleaned the fuel filter and plastic cup and reapplied it to the tractor.

The tank is empty and needs to be filled. The diesel and gas mixture is on the fuel pad but is outside the shop. This was completed by 130p. I now am determining if I go get fuel yet today .

Looks like the water heater at my sister’s house had a type of circulation system. After I tested for leaks all was fine. At least that is what it seamed! When the cold water.was turned on water came out the hot water supply line. The cold water inlet was capped,b the hit water out line is some how connected to the cold. Nevertheless, although I brought the shop vac back over it was not needed. I came home picked up a few solutions, these are to be temporary and the hit ware heater needs to be replaced, and added another shutoff value.

All appears to be sealed and working.

Great day! Worked on the pond and played a little racing. I also helped my sister with a leaking hot water heater. It still needs work and will require replacing.

I wonder if this will actually help reduce flies around the house?

Moisten each strip with several drops of any of the following: clove, lavender, lemongrass, citronella, eucalyptus, rosemary, or mint. Tie the strips on branches and the railings around your patio, and let the scent of the oil get rid of the flies outside.
