Day 630
Some sun, some cloud, some wind & some showers here today and 23º. Its 20º here now.
Out working on putting Noel's mower engine back together this morning. We put it all back except the coil and flywheel as he has to get coil and hole in engine body repaired tomorrow. I then took down the flag pole as it was in among the trees and our flag was tangling in the trees and getting tore up. I gave the pole a couple coats of paint while I had it down. Also, did some small jobs around the home. After lunch me and Ruby out for a walk. We then erected the flag pole in the corner of the flower garden at the end of our driveway. After supper out on the deck enjoying the warm weather. Gonna watch the Bruins/Lightning hockey game now.

Day 629
Mostly sunny day here today with some clouds and a hard shower at noon and 25º. Its 22º here now.
Into Noel's this morning and we took the engine out of his ride-on lawn mower and took it to my work shed. We then took the head and base of the engine to check and see why it was jamming - all good there. We then figured out it was something in the flywheel causing the problem. Into CTC in Woodstock to pick up a puller etc and when we pulled the flywheel off we found the problem. A magnet had cone unglued from the flywheel and and tore up the coil and broke off the post that holds the coil in place. There was a hole in the engine base where the post had broke off. Noel took the post, flywheel & coil into the small engine repair man behind his place and he can glue on the magnet, epoxy on the post or fill the hole with epoxy and he has a used coil available. hopefully that will do the trick. Then we watch the Canucks/Sharks hockey game. After supper I mowed the lawn and then we relaxed on the deck enjoying the nice warm evening

Day 628
Great mostly sunny day here today and 27º. Its 20º here now.
Into Noel's first thing this morning to help him load his mower in his truck. We took it to a MTD warranty place to check and see if his problem was covered under warranty but of course it wasn't - 4 years warranty on the mower but only 2 years on the engine and he has had it for 3 years. He wanted lots to repair the engine and lots for a new one. We then took it to another small engine repair place (behind Noel's) and he figures the connecting rod is broken. He showed us a engine that Princess Auto had for a good price but they were sold out. Then back home and we then went to a meeting and welcome back BBQ at the park chalet. After that we watched the Bruins/Lightening hockey game. Then into Noel's for supper. After we got home we went for a walk around the park and had a chat with a few of the park residents. Then it being such a nice warm evening we sat on the deck and had a drink and listened to cabin party on VOCM.

Day 626
Mostly cloudy here today with some sunny breaks in the afternoon and 19º. Its 15º here now.
Ruby into Noel's at 6 am for Noel & Tammy to go to work and to wait for the grandkids to get up, then she got both of them of to school. I did my morning bus run. After breakfast we went into Woodstock and got the motorhome - all serviced. Then it was off for my afternoon bus run and I dropped Ruby of on the way for her walk. After I got back home I dropped in to the lot where we had set up the deck earlier this week - they were having a happy hour there. After supper we went into Noel's to have a look at his mower - something wrong as the engine is bringing up and will not turn. Noel came out and picked up my mower.
