I'm the official scone boy around here, and the biscuit baker too. Which reminds me, it's been awhile since biscuits and gravy.

I don't have an aversion to cooking and will do so occasionally. However, I don't/won't bake. I don't view that as sustenance cooking.

After a O² sensor code shut down the 4WD on my Rav4 last week on my Snowy road trip and my cheap code reader/eraser in the other car, I figure I better order another one to keep in the Rav4. At first, I thought I'd just buy another check engine code only reader...But after doing some reading and price searching, I figure for $85 more, It would be nice to have ability to read ABS, SRS, and tranny codes too. This one is also suppose to test O² sensors also. Last week after my O² code incident, I searched the Rav4 forums and youtube to find a large quantity of people asking about O² sensor codes.

The saw gas is dry ethanol free fuel .

Years ago I had a Chevy LUV that did the same thing 5° or so above dew point . It happens in aircraft too usually in moderate temps and high humidity . Cold air intake coupled with with the venturi temp drop .....

No biggie the splitter will cut off 6" logs . Mom's probably about a cord short this year as a result of my mishap last summer .

The kids get an extra day off for a Rona exposure , I assume to see if they show symptoms .
I picked up a wicked sinus thing but it's playing nice with the standards so I'm not getting too excited about it . Keep my distance and all that .

In that case check your fuel filter. They will absorb moisture too.

The last of the carbureted cars did also .

I hadn't thought about ice from the air filter .

It's all part of the learning curve in the wet country .

But airplanes have carb heaters. Older ones had manifold heat. Basically a preheat box off the exhaust and used when at most any altitude above 5k ft. Engine mix adjusted to exhaust manifold temp. Kinda like older cars!

so i pull a tee shirt out of the drawer today.
never seen this shirt before and it fits like a blanket, except for the neck.
i get curious and take some measurements.
apparently it's built for a guy 6'2-3" tall with 30 inch arms, but shoulders that are only the size/width of mine, he'd also have to have a 14" neck for the collar to fit, but they made up for it by making sure he had room for about a 46-48" waist line.

now i'm sure there is someone out there built like that, but it ain't this guy.
it's a heavy weight cloth with good double line stitching so it's not a cheap shirt.
i still think it's going in the trash, or the rag box.

Still sorting through downsizing stuff. I remember buying that one scope (for the 10-22?) but don't recall the history of that other one. Both are inexpensive 3-9X40. Then, there's that little 4X scope that was given to me when I bought the 10-22. Thinking of finding a suitable box and offering the three for postage. Found some naked, and checked, lubed and sized bullets that'll be going out in Tuesday's mail to an unsuspecting recipient. Turned 650 naked bullets nobody wanted into 10 ingots and the rest will be used to cast 311284s.

I got two, four-foot book shelves beautifully organized. Only took about six hours. Been doing a lot of closing my eyes and dropping stuff in the trash.

Any empty space left?

I just wish I could find an 18-1/2 neck that didn't fit like a circus tent .

Instant heat off the ram air heat muffs on the mufflers too . Not so much on a 45 cc saw .
As the weather changes you have to adjust the carb. Denser air (colder, wetter air), will need a different fuel setting in hi and lo speed jets. I don't know what brand saw you have, but many are adjusted very lean from the factory and need a bit of tweaking to run right. Cold fuel also reacts differently in cold air than warm fuel in warm air. I'd try opening the low speed jet a half a turn first, may solve the issue. We get lots of humid cold weather, where the hoar frost covers everything an inch deep. Gotta tweak the carbs, keep an eye on fuel filters, mess with them a bit.

We got snow, not sure how much as we got wind too. Gonna be a miserable day I'd bet. I hit drifts of 2 feet just taking the dogs out. Oh well, such is life.

I did get the wood stacked so I can locate it and got the blocked stuff loaded. Also tried getting the JD 420 crawler going with no joy. I think the condenser is shot. Hard to find quality condensers anymore, they are hit and miss and the misses are becoming more common for some reason. Doesn't really make sense since a condenser is a real simple device, but thems the facts.

Gonna be another day in wool pants...
