    The only thing that sucks worse than heading to the airport on a Sunday is heading to the airport on a Saturday.

    So just bought some Star Tron, freaked out initially at the price, then seen they offered 2 1oz bottles for $8.

    You will not be disappointed I run it in all my boat motors small engines. Had a buddy with an old Toyota SUV coming out of storage would not start told him add startron, he did next day it started and idled. We used little honda portable pumps for fire they would gum up every 20 hours I bought startron to use is solved the problem the MN DNR forestry includes startron in every single pump kit supplied to a fire.

    Safe to use the full ounce in 5 gallons rather than the recommended 6? kinda hard to break an ounce down to 6ths when it isn't drugs :lol:

    Well chit, nearly 5 hours later and battery still not fully charged. I'll let it go a few more hours.

    Fired it up and has that ssme flat spot again. Throwing one more thing at it and actually think it has been my problem all along. Suzuki put vaccuum actuated petcocks on the Eiger's and Vinson's I guess they have been notorious for similar issues even intermittently such as mine. So for $13 it's worth throwing a regular Yamaha on/off/res petcock on it. Not sure why that had not come up in my researching the past 2 years.

    So when it gets here I'll swap it out, add the Start Tron and top the tank off. After that it's hunting time and is what it is :lol:

    Been holding off shooting a bear till cooler weather arrives.
    It finally came today and in the whole next weeks forecast.
    Now it pouring rain and will keep me from accessing my river crossing where I could have shot 25 bear the past 2 weeks including a couple real jumbo.

    Just got done listening to a song I haven't heard in year.
    "Blinded by the Light". WTF is it about?
    Cocaine induced song no doubt?

    F'ing lymes relapse this morning freezing, have a long sleeve t and a hoodie sitting in the Tampa airport shivering waiting for the tylonal and advil to kick in. Sure glad my Dr told me Lymes relapes aren't a thing and the way I feel isn't real.

    Bill my outside calf muscles have been twitching for months. Sometimes I don't even feel it I just see it. I bet I have some nerve issue in my back as it's been bad lately. Ice and ibuprofen for the win.

    Mice. I hate them with a passion. They get into every thing and destroy it. Now that the weather is turning cooler they are trying to enter my buildings. They somehow got into a steel cabinet I have in a garage and destroyed several owners manuals for things that I have. :rant: So today I am driving to a New Holland dealership to pick up a new manual for my tractor.

    It is also time to pick up more rodent poison as well.

    Here is a pic of one of my dogs after chasing and killing a mouse she caught on my freshly greased tractor. I used wd40 then soap and water to remove the grease. I'm glad I saw it before letting her in the house.

    She received a treat for her job well done!

    I'm burning through ibuprophen like a junky... A) not getting pain relief b) out destroying my kidneys /liver...

    I may try some nerve flossing midday... But this about 48hrs after onset, I'm coming to grips with it may be time to see a Doc (again).

    Are you still running too? My wife says I have the 'Jimmy legs' when I sleep... I've bumped up calcium and magnesium... No leg cramps in a while, but it bothers my wife so much, she's sleeping in the guest room.
