      I got lucky , the fuel is clean and no condensation in the tank . I   
   discovered yesterday afternoon the seals in the steering knuckles need   
   replacing to the tune of 15 bucks worth of gear oil running out and   
   forming puddles in the grass next to the wheels . Glad I only put half   
   the gallon in .   
      
      In other news we had a colony of honey bees swarm into one of our   
   empty hives yesterday . All but one hive had died out , the last one   
   absconded . Full of bees one day and empty the next . That almost   
   balances out the deer eating our strawberry patch . Leaves , berries ,   
   everything .
