This is my post for #freewriters Saturday prompt working from home hosted by @mariannewest

We did not fish today, because the fish house is closed on Sundays so we can not weigh any fish up until Monday and that is too long to keep them. We spent 5 hours working on my motor. Yesterday, I cranked on it so much that I burned up the starter. That is not the reason that it would not run, it is an extra thing to screw up. We took the starter off and my husband hooked it up to jumper cables and his truck battery, It is deader than shit. I knew that I cranked on it for a long time but did not know that it would burn it up.

So we did away with the starter. Next, we took the carburetor off and apart. My husband blew it out with the air compressor and put it back together, it still runs like crap, and as sound as I idle it down it dies.

We checked the compression and it is good on both cylinders. Next, we pulled the flywheel off. Everything looked good, so we put it back on.

We waited until it got good and dark outside. I pull started it and kept giving it gas to keep it running. My husband has this gadget that he hooked to a sparkplug and the other end of it has a light. There was no change in the light on the top cylinder but the bottom one, when I idled it down the light got dim. My husband says this shows the problem is spark, which could mean a coil or power-pack is bad. There is no way for us to test it without buying piece by piece and seeing if they work.

We have spent just about the entire day working from home and not made a dime.

Excuse my ignorance but what do you mean, check my tips? Is it the $1.11 I made on this freewrite? I do think that is great, I am happy with anything I get. I think of it as a savings account, I have never had my own personal money. Come to think of it, there is a blue pop-up that I get once in a while that says claim something, I can not remember the next word, maybe it says tips.

I tipped you an HBD in addition to what your post earned ... so, ten dimes (9.6 dimes today) in addition to the approximately 35 USD this post is worth. You will see it in your wallet.

Also, check who voted for this post ... click on the "18" next to the heart and look down through the list. A friend of ours did not have time to turn off her voting trails ... so she is not being hindered in still showing love to you ... TWICE OVER!

The blue box that pops up on the right hand side is telling you to claim your rewards, daily ... I ignore it all week and pick up rewards on Saturdays, but you can hit "claim now" at any time and claim any rewards you may have.

thank you for the tips and the tips on what to do. I am slow to learn and if I do not do something on a regular basis I forget how to do it.

I went to my wallet and saw your tip, it was near the bottom where it says the rewards I claimed, thank you so much.

You're welcome ... just brightening up what was a rough day ... after the example of our friend Sharon, whose love and work continues to be paid forward.
