foggy morning

Socked in by heavy fog this morning.  Ben was ready for his breakfast alfalfa - served in the mist.  Tackled the leaking gas tank today.  Decided against the epoxy and went straight for the weld.  Got lucky and didn't burn through the thin tank metal, and because I cleaned the tank out really well - it didn't explode.  Not very pretty, but the leak is sealed.  64,79,58,0,C,.12

    That picture of Ben might be a big seller on a T shirt. I'd buy one and perhaps a couple more for gifts.

    You're a country boy now. When it seems like everything needs fixing you gotta go with function over form or you'd never get done.

    That's such a dreamy looking picture of Ben. He still has the sweetest face. Hope Bud and all the other Field Lab critters are well. Tell Mr. Floppy that Jesse (Blue Boy) is still in rehab but doing well.

    Instead of t-shirt, how about Christmas cards of Ben in fog with red ornament hanging on horn?

    Ive heard to fill gas tanks with water in order to weld them safely.

    If you need to weld a gas tank again connect the exhaust of your truck to it with a hose, then weld. No big BOOM, exhaust has already burned.

    Easy to do and works.
