Andre, it's funny how those black trailers fade so quickly. Especially in the Georgia sun I have an '07 small enclosed black trailer that has faded quite a bit.

We really needed a new vacuum.
After 28 years she's used to my gags.

I got my wife an Echo leaf blower/sucker/shredder combo for her birthday once, and it was great! She really wanted it, believe it or not, and it was really easy for me to walk into the local small engine shop and buy it. Plus it cost less than most every piece of jewelry I ever buy her. I have not been so lucky since.


Doug, enjoy your quickie trip up here in Philly! Be glad you weren't here for last weekends cold, windy misery. Weather should at least be seasonable this weekend.


I spent nearly 3 hours at a meeting tonight learning about our current quarantine in the area. Mainly went to get more info on what I need to do to "legally" pull the trailer out of the quarantine zone. But lots in the township have yet to be informed due to budget hold ups in Harrisburg. Hard to educate people about stuff they have no idea is going on..................


Everybody else, have a good one.............Roy hope you start to feel better soon. No flu shots for me.

The most difficult part is done, that was locating the speedo cable gear to mesh up with the gear on the output shaft.




I mocked up the output shaft and found the ID of the output shaft gear is not concentric with the gear OD.


So I had to make a collet to hold the gear while I cleaned up the bore. Now I just have to make a bushing and press that into the gear.


Time to

Nice Lathe! Is it ok to have tool envy? My son needs to open up the bore on some rotors to make a big disc kit but the rotors are 14" and my buddies lathe will only swing 10", don't know what the norm is for a metal lather. Maybe I should setup my wood lathe and try it on there somehow, it'll swing 14".

Hi Guys........
I think I am on my death bed...........

9.5 hr drive to Boise ID today.......completely miserable.

No decision to buy or not to buy this weekend.
We are looking at 2 models of the Montana line.....This is the nearest place that has both of them in stock.......
Then we have to find a Durango Gold........with front living room.

I have to sell mine before I can purchase a new one.

Good morning and TGIF fellow 1 pagers!!!

Gerry that silver and black truck is so awesome! Wow

Roy...well done on the class! I'm proud of you.

Gavin...man everything you do is top notch! That looks amazing I told my wife about the vacuum. She immediately reminded me of the time I bought her the washer and dryer, a stihl leaf blower, a winch for her 4 wheeler and tires for her truck. One year on her birthday, I had her busting out tile from a kitchen with a 5# hammer and a chisel because she wouldn't use a Hilti demo hammer (drill). Then she punched me in the arm

As long as you indicate the hub ID you should be GTG.

Have fun Darren. I showed off your supplies going to Africa to a fellow LT at work. He goes on a lot of "missions" all over the world, helping bring some of the things in life we take for granted in the United States and Canada to under-served and neglected areas. He really liked what you are doing.

Howdy Doug, Gerry, and Steve, Tim, Tim, Don, Bill, Carl, Rodney, Andre.
Thanks Dak, I appreciate that!
