On Monday, Installed a new fuel pump and two short sections of fuel line,
the one between the pump and canister, and the one leaving the canister.
 It should go without saying that I used shur-nuff genyouwine reinforced
hose for the job, including brandy-new official smoove fuel hose clamps
instead of those plumber's clamps _someone_ substituted.  Note to self-
don't be lazy, DIY.

  Drained about a gallon from the fuel tank for inspection, very little
schmutz, poured back into tank, along with another gallon of stale
generator gas through layers of paper towel, as I've discovered that coffee
filters are way too restrictive.

 Ground newly re welded dipstick extension, (is longer reach into diesel
oil pan than stock upright ABA motor) and topped oil level recently
changed.  Oil spec I'm using this time is Mobil1 High Mileage 10W40, even
10W40 is getting harder to find, but Wal*Mart had it. (was the onliest
place around and I searched)

 No blood shed, but fingerprints still look a little grimy.  Today I'm
using the bus for getting groceries as last check before stuffing wayback
with gear for our annual New England Trip. (Hello, Watkins Glen!)
