Day 868: 5 Minute Freewrite: Friday - Prompt: beach towel
This is my post for #freewrite Friday prompt beach towel hosted by @mariannewest
I do not think I can get my day typed out in 5 minutes, I might go over. It was a one thing after another day. I started with putting a new tail light on my boat trailer which turned out to be no simple task. The bracket that held the light was also broke off, so I decided to drill two holes in the back of my trailer. When drilling metal you need to drill slow and keep dipping the drill bit in oil until it starts catching, then means you are almost through, then is the time you drill fast. It took some time to get the holes drilled but finally I got it and put the new light on and wires back in place.
The next thing was to check the oil in the lower unit, which took a lot of oil, I need to check it more often. I knew it had to be low because it started making a whinnying noise. After doing that I noticed an oil sheen on one side of the motor which we figure is coming out of the carburetor from running half tilt, as I was about to put the cowlyn back on I saw a place on the water jacket gasket that had a big build-up of salt which means it has a leak in it. I cleaned all of the salt off and sprayed oil on it.
My husband was walking by and he says oh shit, I asked what was oh shit and he said look, my buddy bearing was gone but he said he has another one, simple fix. Haha, there is never a simple fix. I said why is there a big gap on top of the spindle and no gap at the bottom.
We took it all apart and this is what the bearings and ring looked like, there are supposed to be two bearings but there was only one and the casing was broke apart and all the bearing but two were gone also the carter pin was broke in half. I would have lost my tire on the next trip to the ramp. Thank you to my Guardian Angel.
My husband said he had some bearing in his shop but they did not fit, I asked if they were expensive and he said no. He got back from buying new ones and when he got out of his truck he says "what rock have I been hiding under"? He said everything he had to buy was 48 dollars.
I do not know why I always get the job of packing the bearings. To do this you have to put a big glob of grease in the palm of your hand and keep rubbing the bearings in it to fill them with grease. I had enough grease on me that I bet I could have filled a beach towel with it when cleaning up.

That sounds like a greasy day. I have some old towels you can use.
Strange if it comes to grease it sticks everywhere where you don't want or need it.
Instead of an upvote..

@wakeupkitty I was lucky my husband saw it, I would without a doubt lost my tire going down the road. I do not like working with grease either, I have it under my fingernails I dug what I could but still have black lines.
I have black lines frequently too. I try to get rid of it but think it's in the skin not just underneath the nails. My other problem is my nails always been cut very short from toddler on. All the white off it means the dirt goes deeper and deeper and it's painful to remove it.
Since last summer my nails grew stronger and longer. I do not know why but the dirt still goes deep.
It's the same with all the skin cream etc the doctor gave. You feel dirty and the grease stick and attracts dirt too. That's why my kid doesn't like to use the cream the doctor subscribed and is not using it. 💕
@wakeupkitty You are like me with the dark line under the fingernails I know exactly what you are saying. I wear flip flops most of the time and the dirt gets my toenails, too. I have never been one to get my nails done but most of the women I know do and when I am with them I feel dirty when I am not, it is like you said stuck under there.
I believe it can not easily removed it has to do with the type of skin perhaps? If I pick berries, just one, my fingertips are colored and it remains for days if not weeks. If my children pick them they wash their hands and it's gone. Even if I wear gloves my hands get dirty.
I need to soak in water for hours to look a bit clean. My mother used a steel brush for my knees... Rubbed the skin off...
I wish why it remains. It looks less nice but it is as in the Dutch saying "there are show horses and working horses).

@wakeupkitty thank you, one of these days I will have the time to read about these tokens and how to use them.
A tip is no token. It is a comment I give. It means I pay you Steem directly into your steem wallet. The amount is more as my upvote plus you do not need to give 50% or more to curators. The other difference is a pay it (the tips). I send Steem to tipu and it's in my deposit there. If I write the comment it's taken from my deposit.
I struggle a bit but I believe it works now. Happy day.
💕
@wakeupkitty thank you for explaining, my brain is in overload with all of the things on here.
I know how it feels. I learn by slowly trying and everything that goes wrong. I clearly have a hard time to understand all info. At times I read it again weeks later and suddenly understand it. 💕
