TOR, as soon as you get the second coil, the first one will arrive, too. lolol
I got my intake gasket. I can't believe there wasn't one on the motor in the first place. It apparently didn't need it because it ran for years without it.
It has been too hot for me to go outside and work. I waited until seven PM and went out because it became cloudy. I wasn't out there for ten minutes when it started to thunder, and right away it started to rain. so much for that..
I looked up the torque for the nut on the flywheel. One source said
110 ft lb most other sources say 55.
I'm going with the 55 ft lb.
this is not for the lawn mower, it is for the rototiller.

One of my chickens finally started laying. Day 1 she layed a fairy hair. Second day she layed a 1.8 oz egg so it was bigger. Then she layed a fairy egg again today is that normal?

I do not know what a fairy hair is? I have had some chickens when they start to lay eggs, eggs kind of small at times and sometimes the shells are not so hard. This has caught my attention with new layers, but then I guess I never really paid alot of attention to them, so someone will have a better answer I am sure.
Also seems new layers need to be trained where to lay eggs, eventually they figure it out from the other chickens. Or they figure it out for themselves.

I have found eggs all over and on rare occasion still do. 1 hen decides she finds a new quiet place to lay eggs. Maybe I will build another nesting box eventually. So many projects and so little time.

JVL your prolly right they shipped my new coil yesterday and about time that one shows up the other one will. Already issued refund, but then says return item. It is amazon I think they know the item is lost, or I wonder if it was ever shipped. All it ever said item was picked up by third party and never made it to USPS. CHinese owned company. Sounds fishy to me.
maybe rain on Friday or Saturday.

Anyone here ever planted sugar snap peas in summer for fall harvest?

Yes..

Ok good to know my last chickens didnt do that.

We had issues with getting stuff shipped from china. They say it is coming then it will be shipped to 5 other different places across sea before taking 5 days to get to us.

I just asked the same question to my gardening friend. He says peas will bolt if planted at this time, not making good peas and pods but going straight to seed. For fall harvest, plant mid to late August.
I dont know if he is right or not, he is in Milwaukee area so different zone than me. I am planting peas on Friday and using a shade cloth. Peas produce in 60 to 70 days, that would be end of October if I planted end of Aug. it will frost by then. Wish me luck.
