2.27.09

Jim picked up the injectors this afternoon. They cleaned and tested them.. then replaced the tips. It seems they were squirting fuel but not atomizing it….or something like that.

Once he had them installed we hooked up the hose to the intake and started the engine. Ran pretty good. But…of course we wont know how much difference it makes until we launch in a couple of weeks.

I took this our last night out…long after dark. Jim lit the boat up with the QBeam. The reflection of the water made an interesting pattern. A dedicated fisherman….lots of poles and very relaxed.

Jim took the injectors to Orlando to be cleaned and flow tested.  Should have the results tomorrow.

Look what showed up in the front yard at the birdbath. and along with them came a few Cedar Waxwings… Beautiful little birds…Jim liked this picture because of the cocky attitude on it’s face. My friend and neighbor, Debbie, kept my feeders full so the Painted Buntings would stick around and they did. We have 4 pair of Painted Buntings and 1 pair of Indigo Buntings. That’s along with the Cardinals, Catbirds, Titmice and a nice flock of Doves.There are a few I’m not sure of..possibly female Redwing Blackbirds and a couple of small grey birds.They all come to the feeders just outside my computer room window.

My yards look like minefields…thanks to the Armadillos. The Racoons had the lid off the turkey feeder…and ...that was empty. What the Racoons dont carry off the Rabbits get. It’s actually a deer feeder but we’ve not had any deer yet. Used to have a flock of 10 wild turkeys. Now only a few come thru. The “automatic” part  doesnt work so the squirrels and coon climb up …hang upside down and dig the corn out.
