What's everybody doing today?

My portable generator wouldn't start this morning. I moved it in to the shop and put the torpedo heater on it. This generator has a 15 hp motor on it and it's hard enough to start in warm weather.

I have been known to take along a 2000 watt generator on a service call.
when someone has their off grid generator out in the generator shed and it won't start because of cold I get my little one going and point the exhaust right at the frozen one...20 minutes or two cups of coffee later they usually start.

Restful day.. Didn’t try to do any wiring. I pulled cabinet off the wall in the laundry rm. Spent an hour or so sanding it. Had something spilled on one of the shelves, sort of like dried syrup. Took a while to sand that stuff off. One corner of a board broke through a knot so wood glue is on the shopping list. Thinking I’ll do some minor repairs then give it a few coats of polyurethane. Good to go for another 50yrs.

Ordered some more lighting. Getting an led bar to mount on the bottom of the cabinet that will go back above the washer. It plugs into any outlet, has a motion sensor with automatic turn off. It’ll shine in to the washer, hands free operation.

No plans this evening...

Took the Challenger into our little town to the post office, and then it wouldn't start again. Luckily I was right across the street from the auto repair shop, so they came over and put in a new battery for me. It was time. Also put a new battery in my key fob which I always hate to figure out how to open the thing. Lucky I was where I was!
Dropped off three bags of old nonsense at the thrift store, went to the amish grocery for a few things. Came home finally, was gone longer than planned. After lunch I took husband to the bigger town lab for his bloodwork, and then to the pharmacy to pick up his meds. Just got the fire going again. Had it going early morning when it was in the 20's, and the temps are dropping again about now.
