Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?

 Saturday update, mowed, saw 2 rabbits run off the property. Armed myself and continued with shrub trimming, but the bunny brigade split, they may be back in force today My 50+ year old wheelbarrow needs some TLC soon also. Will be Grilling and chilling with the remaining parental unit.
 Thanks to all who gave their all for their country.

My right shoulder is not cooperating this morning...and I haven't even started yet. 
 Watching Monaco F1 at the moment.. then Indy 500... when that "roundy-round" Hoosier Momma's favorite NASCAR "soft drink" race starts I will go out.

Original plan a project I recently picked up- a "vintage" Mo-Chief field mower manufactured by Willard in the early 70s.  It is powered by an 8hp B&S engine, 319cc-worth.  It sat for a decade if not more, but was run dry before it was "parked".  I need a float bowl gasket; but everything else has been a matter of "clean real good, blow out with compressed air, and lubricate everything that moves".  Well, I was going to cut out a float gasket out of some gasket material but Sonja said we're doing a float today.  I think I had the inflatable kayak, pump, cooler, and dry-bag loaded before she finished putting on her bathing suit.  I opted to order a carb rebuild kit for the B&S 8hp engine.  Priorities, ya know?


Side note: that 8hp engine is 319cc.  If you opted to buy a modern 319cc engine, the various brands run between 12 and 19hp.  On the other hand, this ancient B&S engine will probably outlast any modern engine by a factor of 2:1; it is WAY overbuilt.
