Fun fun fun
Moved the power hammer out of the truck today and it went flawlessly except I had to switch to Plan B at the last minute.
My initial plan was to back the truck into the shop (I have a ten-foot wide door) and use my Engine Hoist to pick it out of the bed and move it to where it will be living.
The hydraulic cylinder on the Engine Hoist failed to operate -- I had enough fluid. I am guessing that since it had not been used in about two years, the oil varnished up and the pump valve is stuck. I'll take it apart and fix it when we get back from our road trip.
Plan B was to use Buttercup the tractor. Since there was not enough room to maneuver the truck and the tractor near the shop door, I moved the truck near the barn and am temporarily stashing it there until I get back. (Leaving for California Wednesday for a week -- cousin's wedding.)
Sitting here boiling a pot of spaghetti for dinner and will head down to the store to close. Being the fourth, all of the other stores out here closed early. We are paying 1.5 hourly so there is no trouble staffing these shifts and we sell a hella lot of beer after the other places close.
