I picked up a fresh argon bottle yesterday and finished the fenders without any further drama. I picked up an "S" bottle which is just about the limit as far as me manhandling a tank into the back of my truck. I have a "T" cylinder I should drag out, get some help loading and get it refilled. It's a big-un and now that I have no more torch leaks, between the two bottles that'll probably be a lifetime supply for me.
I was staring to work on the weed-whacker the other day and thought it might be helpful to find a parts diagram to see how everything goes together. I found one but it seems the site was infected and passed it along to my laptop. However, I tried the computer again last evening and it told me to reload Edge and that should take care of the problem. Low and behold, it did. So, I'm hoping it's a lasting fix. I did talk to a computer wizard at the ham radio meeting the other night who said he'd take a look, but I don't want to put anyone on the spot. Anyway, I got the weed-whacker apart. I'll see if the tank's the leaking part or the rubber piece feeding the carb. The rubber piece is in stock uptown for $17.00. That'll be cheap enough.
It's supposed to rain the next couple of days, so I'll get the mower in the shop and get the blades swapped out, change oil and filters. The grass is really growing now. It'll be fun putting that $4.00 per gallon in the tank.
