The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VII.. Stop In!!!

[Running Bear]

Good evening. 76° and 91% humidity. Mostly clear with no mention of rain. None of that in the forecast until Monday.

Well, several have suggested it and I have to agree with them. I believe the vans engine is tired, worn out. It has enough compression to start when the engine is cold and it can burn the tires pretty good if I let it. But when the engine is hot it doesn't have enough compression to pull the fuel down into the cylinders. No way can I afford to rebuild it so maybe find a descent one for a low price. In the meantime I'll try something that I've been toying with. Shooting compressed air down into the carb while cranking to force the fuel down to the cylinders. Might work, might not. I won't know til I try.

The nurse came by this morning and put a new wound vac dressing on. She did a terrible job. So far, just today I've used an entire sheet of drape (the adhesive film) to repair it and keep it together. One sheet is about eleven inches by seventeen inches in size. That's the equivalent of two regular sheets of paper.

Cleaned some of the clutter off the layout extension and pulled the //e closer to the edge, almost to the track so I can reach the keyboard more easily. Checked the postal tracking earlier and I see the disk drive I bought for $28.99 Tuesday is looking like it'll be here tomorrow. Sooner than I expected. I hope it doesn't go to Columbia Louisiana like some items have in the past. That would add two or three days to the delivery.

Watched a couple of movies and played one game of Star Fleet 1. I'm in the process of playing another one now.

Time to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.
