Van repairs
Since I got a new alternator the other day for my van, it seemed like a good idea to install it or at least get things ready to install.
I got the battery disconnected and the new alternator out to have a look at it to make sure it was the right one. It was the right one but needs the pulley changed.
Needs a double pulley
It came with a single pulley but the van has a double pulley so after I get the old one off, I will remove this pulley and install the double pulley.
All prepped and ready for the work
I was moving fairly slow today so I did some chair hopping before jacking up the van a little to give me more room to get under it and I got the blanket spread out under the van.
But wait
I started to work on getting the old alternator out, but then decided tomorrow would be a good day to do that, so did some more chair hopping around the yard.
Checking out the yellow jackets nest
Late in the day I hopped on the dirt bike to go for a ride and then I headed on over to the trail working area to see how the yellow jacket nest eradication worked out.
I approached the nest area cautiously, just in care, but all was quiet.
I located the nest hole in the leaves to see if there were any left over yellow jackets crawling around. But nope, not even one, so all was good.
Here’s a closer shot of the nest hole just to the right of that piece of bark. Nobody home, at least no moving ones.
Trail work
As long as I was up here I did some trail work and also walked out to the end of the trail just for some more exercise and to see what I was into as far as more work was concerned.
Headed for home
After a little work on the trail I headed for home going the long way, just to get some more bike riding in.
Nice day.
