That worked out so well

Last week, I had purchased a new engine for the tiller. When I pulled the belt guard, I found that the engine on it had a built in gear box with counter rotating shafts. The engine I bought had a single shaft. I'm just lucky that way. I boxed the new engine back up and returned it and then made my way to the engine shop to see if I could get a new gas tank for a thirty year old tiller. They had  to order one, but I got one that fit, sort of. I had to make some modifications just to be able to get the gas cap off, but now the tiller runs great. The motor I returned was 99 dollars plus tax. I got a refund and when I ordered the tank, 91 dollars plus tax. There's just something not right about that.

I planted some asparagus that we found at a local nursery and out Boston Terrier proceeded to rip half of it out of the ground. So we decided we were going to need a fence around the garden. We found a section of chain link at a garage sale that was free. The rest we are putting a 3 ft high picket fence around. I got the post set and part of the fence up when I ran out of stakes. We are taking old pallets apart for the thin slats, they make great fence pickets.

Woke up to rain this morning. The garden was almost dry enough to till. I can't get a break. I'll get out a while when it drys up a little and get the rails put up and the gate built, then I need to go find 6 or 7 more pallets. Hopefully it will quit raining for a few days so I can finish getting the ground tilled and ready.

Maybe the rain is over for a while. Of course I'm waiting for the pig flyover too.
