Morning!
Busy on farm. Had just enough $$ from thre Pony Rides to pay muscle to fix some and move some fence. Then in the space of about 5 hours on Wednesday. Harvey, finally, got my new starter in the mower, I used the skidsteer for quite a while till it started going eEER..Errr, eEER..Errr, eEER..Errr ....Then dawns on me it was low on fuel. My fuel guage is broken. Put more in and was OK for about 20-30 minutes then the same. Diesel guy thinks I sucked crud from bottom of tank so waiting for parts ( fuel filter) and guy to fix. SO...I went to mow. Got about 150 feet and my mower went POOF with huge cloud of white smoke and shut off. Blown engine??? Waiting for verdict on that.
Then....The horses got out of new fence repaired area. Did not go anywhere and came right in but they were not in the field where they should have been.Had two trail rides on Thursday. Just enough $$ to pay for the starter (for mower that went poof) and part of the fuel filter. As friend said to me "if it weren't for bad luck I would have no luck at all. lol
Have a new student ( just four 4 lessons) who will come today for first one.
