Stopping that leak


 Although I replaced the lift pump around 3 years ago, the cheaper replacement part did not hold up. I ordered the Italian made part for the Hesston 55-66 and installed it yesterday. I got drenched in diesel and had to tolerate that smell for a day but it is good to get the leak stopped.

Several batteries had become discharged and needed some corrosion cleaned and charged so I took care of that. 

The blueberry bushes had not seen sun in several days so I put them out for a while. Today was colder than any day all winter. We only achieved a high of 39 degrees with a 7 mph breeze that kept it feeling cold all day.

I lubed the finish mower but the 284 still stalls a bit when climbing a hill. I am wondering if the spark plugs need replacement.

So since my 2nd retirement I've hit the trails and weights. My goal, to return to my fitness level of 2024 Summer when I hiked in Canada...
