elcamino/wheelhorse 9,066 #4 Posted March 11, 2016 The tree pollen has started down here (lucky me) and we have had flowers for a couple of weeks. Will not be long be long before grass and weed clipping will be pouring out the back of the C 120. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,769 #5 Posted March 12, 2016 I don't know what to make of it! Last year was brutally cold forever and this winter was next to nothing! Little cold and very little snow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,066 #8 Posted March 12, 2016 I say grass but at the rate is going who knows. I never say I going to mow the lawn, always say I am going to cut the yard. Between tree roots, bare spots , dog crap . and oaks that never quit shedding dead leaves ,it is not fun, but gives me something to do besides housework. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,066 #12 Posted March 12, 2016 Wood stoves work you to death. Cut it , split it , stack it , bring to house , bring it in the house, chuck it in the stove, clean out the stove, after embers go out , dispose of ashes. Work , work work keeps you young. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimAnderson Gloucester.Va After burning wood for 40 years, I took a break this year. With fuel oil @ $1.639/gal and the help from el nino, I only burned about one cord. Saving my wood till oil increases. Gotta admit, I didn't miss cleaning the chimney every month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digger 66 3,477 #15 Posted March 12, 2016 Saw my first pair of Robins here yesterday ! My wheeler has been at the shop for diagnostics ( intermittent misfire ) . After replacing several fuel & air control sensors & new fuel pump ( pretty expensive & dumb mistake on my part ) dealer hooked it up to his software & determined that the issue was a faulty speed sensor in the gearbox . What does that have to do with the fuel /air ratio you may ask ? It was telling the ECU that the machine was always moving at a certain speed , & over / under-feeding the injectors . I would have never guessed THAT ! Finally getting her back together now ! Picked up the seeds for this years crop of peppers . Plus , going to try some Spinach this year . Yuuuummmm !
