Putting bunchkins to bed tonight, I was summons by a call from Blake to google something on the computer as he has no computer at his shop. "cummins head bolt torque". Whatever that is.

I read to him the words of the first hit I got to:
Torque the head to Cummins spec
Step1- all bolts to 66 ft.lbs.
Step2- recheck all bolts.
Step3- all bolts to 89 ft.lbs.
Step4- recheck all bolts.
Step5- rotate all bolts an additional 90degrees-(bolts) if using Studs torque to-125 ft.lbs.
Check valve clearance when done.

I have NO IDEA what any of that means. At all. His answer? "Yep, that's exactly what was in my head, I just wanted to make sure. Thanks, Mom."

Glad he knows what he's doing.....

The girls are at a bridal shower. Paul is hauling a calf that everyone calls "The Serial Sucker" (as it is a huge calf who nurses any cow dry!) to another farm.

It's raining----again! We've cancelled the farm picnic we had scheduled for tomorrow.

Back to putting bunchkins to bed!
