[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 1388036, member: 6543"] I really dodged a bullet last night.... well it might have been worse than a bullet.... My barn and stable have not had any lights since we had the barn fire in 2003. so this time of year I am normally doing chores by flashlight...I have several lights good and bad of many types... sometimes I will crank the tractor and use the tractor lights if I have something to do... Recently I tripped over my portable generator in the dark and realized that if I had a couple of work lights I could use the generator which would keep it running regularly which is always beneficial to small engines and see what I was doing at night... I ordered some work lights from Northern Tool and got them on Friday...over the weekend I put them together and placed them...hooked up the generator and the damned thing would not run even though I just got it out of the shop a few weeks ago.... had jelly in the carburetor bowl even though I put fuel stabilizer in every can of gas....now have to dump the gas and clean the carburetor...will try to do that tomorrow.... anyhow last night I had fed the heifers in the big barn and had them in the headlocks...fed the goats in thier stall...I fed the horses in the stable, put out hay for the horses....the heifers still have grass....I mixed feed for tonight, fed the chickens....left the big light in the stable and went to the cow barn to turn out the heifers and the goats and was just wearing my headlight which is only good for close work.... I caught a glimpse of something white and looked down and I was about to boot a skunk right in the ass....next step would have kicked it...I immediately back pedaled and remarkably enough it did not raise its tail...but then I could not find it again....knew it was in the barn somewhere but I have no idea where it went... Thank goodness I had left the dogs in the house because Marie had said that there had been hounds running across and around the place all day long and our dogs feel obligated to chase them off....and Apache looks enough like a coyote that I don't want to risk getting him shot....if he had been with me I would be hating life now as he tackles anything that is in his domain.
