Today, I went to Brasher Park in Port Richey and helped CCA Florida and the Duke Energy Mariculture Center released 40,000, juvenile (4 to 6 inches), hatchery-reared spotted sea trout along the West Coast, 20,000 in Pasco County and 20,000 in Citrus County. Special thanks to the volunteers who helped release these fish. To date, the partners have released 150,000 spotted sea trout and 280,000 redfish across the state of Florida. Releases continue tomorrow in Panama City, as our team will release 50 slot-sized redfish to kick off the 2024 Redfish Film Fest. Stay tuned for more updates!

Long day, Meals on Wheels in the AM, pick up the grandkids at school, take them to the tennis match finally got them home at 7pm. BTW the Meals on Wheels thing is a blast, love it, except when the people disappear.

So a one hour rear brake pad job turned into an all day rear brake caliper swap🤬. Kid that had the car before must of removed the calipers and spray painted them red. The heat from the brakes caused the paint to melt and leech into all the seals. Good chance those rear brakes haven’t worked in a while. All new calipers and pads, fresh fluid. Made the boy drive me around , thing stops on a dime. All the brake fluid sucked every once of moisture out of my hands, brake fluid is nasty stuff.

I used to hate doing brakes for the reason that I always ran into caliper problems. I got to where I would just buy new calipers. Yeah the rebuilt suck also.
Congratulations on a job well done

If it's any consolation......consider how much it would have cost to have it done........and then factor in that they might not have caught some of what you caught!! I get frustrated working on the tractors and the rest of the equipment......but.....when labor everywhere is $80 or so a hour.......and I know I have to make over $100 to have $80 to spend......well....I feel better about doing it. And again.....that part about it being done right, at least most of the time. The solenoid in one of the electric carts from the other day coming to mind, painfully. But even with that, the second solenoid and the extra hour to replace it again after figuring out that the wires to the motor and from the battery were so old that they were causing resistance to build to the point of cooking the solenoid was still less aggravation and cost than having the darn thing hauled to the shop.

Found the suspected fuel leak in the big (26') boat, fixed it and then cleaned the bilges with Dawn. Big relief as the tank is encapsulated and a pinhole would have been a major project. The culprit was single clamped supply lines with loose clamps. Of course one broke when I torqued down on it and it was a bitch to replace due to the location. Why do people put things in places that are almost impossible to work on?

Why do people put things in places that are almost impossible to work on? No lie... I had to replace the radiator on my Ram 3500. The driver side intercooler hose clamp was positioned where the clamp nut was next to a frame pillar. I had to grind down a box end thin enough to get the wrench in the space and on the clamp nut. And then take a million 1/16 turns of the nut to remove the clamp. If I could have found the joker who installed that clamp, I would have kick his ass over the horizon.

Planned on taking the Mrs for breakfast and then going to the range but she had a terrible headache all night so I’m hoping she gets better and then I’ll take her for a late lunch.
Looking at thousands of black crappie in the water in front of the little lake house. Man it looks like you could walk across them. Literally thousands.
