Biggest holdup will be the exhaust system that will need to be done in Dryden, I may have to weld up enough of a system to drive it down there or have it trailered..

The guy I purchase a lot of stuff from has a pipe bender and is doing his on exhaust but I can't talk him into bending anything for me because a friend of his has a muffler shop and doesn't want to compete as if I'd say anything...

Good evening Illinois, John, Ian, Max, and Don!

Has gotten a hell of a lot colder since the last time Macy was out, has dropped from 20° to 12°F.

Been in the shop fixing the planer. It has a plastic motor cover and is breaking up. I'll have to pick up knives tomorrow as the ones that are in it are shot.

I thought about getting one of those kits but don't know that I really want to tackle it laying on my back so I'll wait and take it down in the spring. The first fellow I was talking about also has a towing business and could come and take it down on one of his flat decks. He said if I bought a membership it allows for up to 5 free tows so would only cost me $125...
