Just outside, watering my gourds(for the 2nd x today) and some of the pheasant runs. 98°F and terrible humidity.

The King Ranch here in Texas is bigger than the state of Rhode Island if that tells you anything : )

Hi- not from Texas, I have been there one time...just took trip to AZ, and at the resort, I saw a lady from Texas, she said she also is into chickens and is a BYC member. I told her I have interesting breeds of chickens, she said her favorite was a frizzle, I said I have the gray frizzle hen...

Who is not my avatar any longer, but she could look it up, She said she remembered me from BYC and knew the bird, she then gave me a hug.

Yep! It sucked all summer and FINALLY started to get nice outside just for la Nina to bend us over again for another round of hot as all get out with a billion percent humidity, this week is going to suck!

Friday was a two edged sword…
Safely got this home with the $15.59 Wideload permit from TxDOT.

Discovered more mystery with tractor overheating? Maybe it’s a blown gasket? Still troubleshooting- slowly…

Discovered coolant leak in Jetta (somewhat slow)?

Solved the f350 clutch issue…. Did the procedure from the Factory Service Manual- that led me to search on the forum (FTE) and that had a few threads… one had a you tube video that a handful of forum members got together and made…
Bleed the fluid line of almost all the air in the line.



Well, it’s Monday time for work schedule…

And prep for a work run to Galveston this week.

Really Monk?....a dish for you're chickens....and I thought I spoiled my birds.

On other thoughts, did you check to
see if there's water in the oil pan?

The “dish” was left attached to the shed…. Along with the ~32” Cathode Ray Tube TV & dish controller box, window AC unit, and all the interior finishing.


The polymer “plastic” mudflats we’re put under the 2x6 rails for it to slide it like a lazy susan 90 degrees and this right onto the trailer… worked almost flawlessly….






As for the tractor. The coolant over the last 2-3 years has had an really, really slow water loss. Then all of a sudden…. I had a wierd almost thermal runaway…. I let it shutdown right where I was as I didn’t think I was able to get it to a garden hose in time that will reach it. Let it cool over night.

Over the last 2+ weeks I have tried test after test. Oil is still free of coolant! Coolant system on the other hand seems to of had a gasket or casting fracture that allows air to be pumped into the cooling system and instantly create the sensation of “overheating” as the air pushes the water/coolant out of the radiator within seconds of cranking up.

Oh and as a post mortem point of reference.
This is to be the Wellhouse 2.0. And I plan to build a greenhouse on the north side of it between the coop/run & where the wellhouse will be mounted.
