The tides for the last month have quite low for this time of year. We usually see this in January. Jerry dug out a ditch for the water behind the shop to drain. If it doesn't drain, it gets stagnant and smelly. He did all this in a couple of hours. That's a lot of shovels full of heavy mud.
Jerry had success getting our golf cart back on the duty. The fuel pump went out two weeks ago and our search for a new one were futile to say the least. There isn't much I can't find online, but this time I found no success after a considerable amount of time. Jerry visited auto parts stores and asked around. We just could not find one with the correct connections. The whole thing is about the size of a screwdriver handle. Our cart is fuel injected and the fuel pump is somewhat unique. Finally one evening while visiting with Mingo, he mentioned that his golf cart had a similar problem and he found a 'T' connector with three different sized ends. This got us to thinking in a new direction. Penny picked up a pump at O'Reilly for $116 and Jerry got to work on it. The manager from O'Reilly even came out to see what he could add. On Monday morning I saw the cart out and called Jerry to ask if he pulled it our or drove it out. He said he drove it out of the garage and proceeded to drag the beach with no problem. He sure saved us a bunch of money. We had even tried the local cart store to see what they could do, but they wanted to sell us another cart.
