INVENTORY DAY.......

Today started cold and sunny, almost like any other day in the frozen tundra we call the Northeast. We had several things on the top of the list today.....we need to change several 8 foot fluorescent bulbs in the shop and change an oil filter in one of our tenants furnace.
Mr. Fix-It and I enter the shop to the smell of gasoline .....we have a scooter in the shop for repair. The customer had left gas in it and ruined the carburetor. But in the time it was sitting in the shop the gasoline laced with ethanol literally ate thru the fuel line causing gasoline to leak on our floor in the shop. We clamped it off until we could get to the job. Remember with an average of 13% ethanol in the current gasoline sold here. it is natural corn based and absorbs water, hence the corrosion in all things carburated!
We never got to the inventory shelf today...
