Second Christmas

Well, haven't touched the Scout in a while except to unhook the plow and leave it in the garage. This in anticipation of new solenoids arriving, which they did this week. Three shiny new solenoids for the plow pump. I'll be putting those on this weekend and hopefully that will solve my problems and I'll be back in business for the next snow.

I love UPS. They seem to bring by all kinds of new presents this week. They also dropped off a new snatch strap, a new receiver shackle - you know, so I can pull other people out of the mud holes) and a vintage ERTL 1:64 Scout to add to the collection in the office at home.

As I sat here contemplating where to hang it, I decided it was about time I inventory my collection and make sure that my home owners covers it adequately. So, I've started that now too.

I've long considered it a good idea to inventory my parts too, but those of you who've seen my garage and shop will understand why that hasn't happened.

Gonna have to do some rearranging in the garage here pretty soon, so I can move the Studebaker out and get some electrical work done. That should be fun. Maybe that's a good time to finally do the valve stem seals on it too. Add it to the list...

ITYM "so other people can pull me out of the mud holes." Heh.

Glad to hear the plow solenoids are in. The timing is perfect: Looks like we'll have snow in about a week. Better get to work! :)

Still haven't hooked up the new coils (called them solenoids, but they are actually coils). One of them was the wrong part. Since they weren't calling for much snow, I didn't bother hooking up the plow. Of course, I should realize weathermen are guessing just like the rest of us. The replacement part should be in this week. Hopefully these coils will do the trick.
