5 days later and the pit is full of mud again. I think that this year is worse than last. Greg told me it was hunting season so that is probably the problem? I am thinking that some “NO HEAVY MUD ALLOWED” signs are needed. Then maybe something like a $25 cleanup and loss revenue charge? Do you think you could collect that? I was kind of irritated about the mud today.
I had an attempted break-in on my Fragramatics vacuum yesterday. The guy only broke 1 lock but what a hassle to fix.
One of my Coleman vacuums was not working right. I checked the amount of dirt it collected, which was not much but I emptied it anyway. I checked the motors and they seemed fine. Then I checked the vacuums bags, which I forgot about. Problem solved!
I love trying to find a leak and getting wet when it is 35 degrees outside.
I was too slow to talk to this guy today. I watched this guy vacuum his truck then take a garbage bag out of the back of his truck. Instead of running over to him (the only way I would have made it) I decided to take a picture. While taking a picture he got in his truck and left…..wooooops! Apparently he threw away a lot of clothing also.
Leaky high pressure gun. I just swapped it out.
I just love cleaning out these pits. The only thing that would make these pits better is if they were shallower and narrower, if that was possible.
Well, my Canon PowerShot SD630 died again today. It has died 4 times now. I think that this camera is officially crappy. The error was “Lens error, restart camera”. It is still under some amazon.com NEW warranty so I will have to see if they cover it.
Well, I installed the belt today. First I removed 3 bolts (3/8″) that hold down everything (last picture).
Then removed 4 bolts (3/8″) from the pump thing. This is how you get the belt on.
Then put the belt around the plunger then around the small gear. Then roll it around the large gear. Done!
Misc. information about the compressor:
To order the belt just call 1-888-895-4549 and ask for the 007-0068 belt. It is the only belt they ship / sell, so it is easy.
