Set a camera up on the cat food what to see was eating it and got this ... Well the nice thing about trail cameras is this horse pic ... Moved the trail cam to the asparagus field to see if deer were eating that ... It was what they call a bluebird day.

Needs a good bit of attention elsewhere, to be expected being a '73 with no records and not much known about its history. Someone has been pumping grease into it but the fuel pump leaks, most of the wiring is original, I can't tell yet if the head has ever been pulled and doubt that the valves are in adjustment by the way it runs...stuff to do I'd like to pull the balance gears but I've got other priorities and no tasks in mind for this one. We'll see how things shake out, it might be worth a couple hours to go ahead and do that while I'm this far in.

So sorry to hear of your loss. It is extremely difficult losing a pet. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Sad day... Had to put our lab Denali down today... the cancer caught up with him this afternoon. Labored to breath, seizures, etc. He was a great dog. RIP buddy...

Previous place I got a return call from a polite lady. One of three HVAC companies I called. Within seconds it was evident it was not a human. "hey sorry I missed your first call I was tethered to music" I said. Artificial ingredient... " yeah the tethered to music struggle is real" Wait what. After everything I said a Human would have had one of three reactions I wont describe. Scheduled a day and time with that thing. It's a weird time. After every sentence I spoke it would say "okay" then ask a follow up question like "it sounds like your heat is not working and your power is, is that correct" yeah yeah Siri ... can I talk to a human. dead air... Would this time and this date work for you. Yes, Okay I will blah blah Make some toast or something bud. Makes that company time. Wastes mine Dont get me started on the vapid folks doing their job with Chat tech.

It's tough. I've lost 5 pets to cancer. It leaves a void.

So sorry to hear about Denali. He was a handsome fella!

Awwww.. what a beautiful dog and friend...... sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear of your loss Jim.

Pretty darn nice.

I buy packs of 10 in the jungle. 3/8 and 5/16 always laying around here. Some other sizes too.

Picked up a new (to me) WH hauler today! They sure are proud that it is made in MI!

I got that 123 15 yrs ago or more, mainly because it came with a tiller and a mower deck. Truth be told, as much as I LOVE the C160 overall, the 123 is my favorite tilling machine. Between the hydro and the tiller itself, it does the best tilling job. But the C160 is a VERY close 2nd. (I agree with your “green” sentiments.)

May 6, 1991, 51-year-old race car driver Harry Gant racks up his 12th National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) Winston Cup career victory in the Winston 500 in Talladega, Alabama. In doing so, Gant bettered his own record as the oldest man ever to win a NASCAR event. A native of Taylorsville, North Carolina, Gant quit the family carpentry business in 1978 and raced his first full Winston Cup season in 1979, at the relatively advanced age of 39. He was a candidate for Rookie of the Year, but lost to Dale Earnhardt. In 1981, Gant joined the Mach I/Skoal Bandit Racing Team and competed in the team’s No. 33 Pontiac, owned by the movie producer Hal Needham and actor Burt Reynolds.

Harry Gant had several nicknames, Hammering Harry (he ran a construction company), Hard Luck Harry in the early part of his career due to ten second place finishes, Handsome Harry, and The Bandit in recognition of his sponsorship by Skoal. His best nickname was earned when he won two Busch Series races and all four Winston Cup races in September 1991 and earned the nickname "Mr. September" at the age of 51. His crew chief was Andy Petree and together they went on a winning streak of six straight national series triumphs. Other drivers with Hall of Fame credentials have amassed wins in fours since the dawn of NASCAR’s modern era in 1971, but other factors beyond his age make Gant’s performance a singular achievement. He won all four premier-series races with the same car — a Leo Jackson-owned No. 33 Oldsmobile Cutlass — and same engine at all four tracks. “We’ll probably run it until we wreck it,” Gant said back then. The car was involved in two crashes during the four-race romp, but never lost its winning edge.

I attempted to watch the entire video, however I was unable and turned it off after several minutes and many, many inaccuracies. AI has its appropriate place in today's world but not in every application. I remember being told the best working analytic system is the human brain, let's not lose that ability.

I was considering not hauling my rather large toyhauler and get 8-10 mpg but what the hell we only live once. If it means having to sell a few parts to make up the extra few bucks in fuel so be it. I am probably going to haul it down a few days early and stay at a campground in Gettysburg area and do the battlefield tours.

Ya know... When Mike Martino's first print was published, there were some inaccuracies identified. Certainly few and minor from what I remember, but they are still there. But small errors are a very human thing to have exist. BUT- some of this AI stuff is just awful. Computers still do what they always have: junk in, junk out. It's almost as if one of the parameters set by AI creators is "if you can't dazzle with brilliance, baffle them with BS"...

My daughter asked me once why I talk to myself so much. I told her my grandpaw always said only take advice from the smarter folks... so I talk to the smartest fella around me at the time.

Yes it is.

Even some of the Youtubers who seem to be attempting to produce factual, helpful videos seem to screw it up by not attending to detail. AI seems to be inproving slowly but the AI offerings for my needs a few days ago were poor at best. As an example I bought a couple of new remotes for our garage door opener. The instructions for the opener had been lost long ago and the ones that came with the remotes were not working out for us. I watched a video from Chamberlin, the door opener manufacturer and four Youtube videos before I found one that actually succeeded in programing the remotes.

That statement is a strong contender for the "DUH" of the year competition.

Tons and tons of "Youtubers" are creating this fake content. A few days ago I was looking through some small block chevy stuff on there, and WOW! I feel bad for the fellas who don't know much on them and go to youtube to try to get a straight answer, you can't!

Was watching it with the sound off and thought it was a pretty cool slide show. The old lady went in the bathroom and I had to turn the sound way up. That ruined it.

Scary thought: history is recorded by the victor...

gotta luv the Blackhoods

More pictures of the wheelhorse

Some work on new steel box for WH trailer (dump trailer). Undercarriage needed some work,but that is the base for new "dump box" , aside original platform for hauling wood (2 in 1). Materials: old 2 wheel wheelbarrow, old bed frame, scrap metal and some new metal pieces. Fit for wooden pallet 120x80 cm. My original modified patform for hauling wood, hay, grass,branches etc

No... but a U-Haul, now that's a bit more common...

I have power. Converting over to 10-30 so need to drain the lift cylinder and have a list of other things to address but this was a big line item

There has been a stream of these so-called informative videos on youtube, on various machinery, equipment, and company histories. Most have a few inaccuracies in them, which shouldn't be ignored. Just yesterday I saw one about Cub Cadet, which claimed that IH wanted a garden tractor with hydrostatic transmissions, so they built one in 1961. CC didn't put a hydrostatic in their gts for another few years after their 1961 launch of the Cub Cadet. I also saw one on Fordson, that was filled with wrong information. It seems like we have a host of would-be experts who probably AI their information on google and threw that into a video, regardless of it's factual or not.

Another scary thought.... not anymore. Since the dawn of worldwide 🌐 access BOTH sides of all conflicts big & small can spread their own "history"....
