I like makin' stuff... Of course half of what I make doesn't work.

My back yard is fenced in for the dogs. My shed is back there and inside is a WH cart. It's a pain to get it out and open the gates for any small job like carrying tools for anything to do in the front yard so I have this little Toro cart that stores easy, dumps and is cute as a button! If it fits it ships!

The one on the right was not originally built for this but the left was.

Please stop giving me ideas.

I put a seat cover on mine that is nothing but pockets on the back. If what I need won't fit there I hitch up the rolling toolbox or my trailer. But a carry basket thing would be cool to have. Like the ones on a farm ATV.

Broke out the HVLP sprayer today and mixed up some Regal Red. I thought for once I'd get a hood done right on the first try. ...well of course not. The side facing the sun got a little too much from the idiot running the gun. 6 inch long sag. I wiped most of it off so it would take less sanding to fix. Rustoleum has a "gooey" thing that automotive paints do not. Even thinned down it splatters a bit. Getting a coat to the "wet" look is tricky without laying too much. Gonna take some practice I guess. Heckuva lot of work just for some hardener. And just to do something right for the day I finished the steekers for the engine.

I have this rack on the back of my Raider, I cut it down so it's the same width of the tractor.

This is waaaaay to wide. But if it was cut down to be the same width as the tractor . This is Tony @Docwheelhorse at a show a couple years ago with the platform thingy mounted on his tractor hauling back an oil can score

Man did I play that over and over in the cassette deck of my GMC pickup ! My musical tastes have mellowed some since then..

June 20, 1988 Guns N' Roses' biggest hit is widely considered to be "Sweet Child o' Mine," released as a single in the U.S. on June 20, 1988, from their 1987 debut album Appetite for Destruction, becoming their only song to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

I just get texts about my unpaid parking tickets or car related issues with the Maine DMV. Which is kind of funny as I don’t own a car… I did have someone get my debit card number a few years ago. They made an attempt to try to buy Netflix and a few other random things. One call to my bank and that was resolved. My bank’s pretty vigilant about scammers. If I buy something in a place that I don’t usually go sometimes my debit card won’t work which is a good thing as it guards against a potentially sketchy transaction.

Happy Birthday @c-series don, we are all glad you were born.

Yesterday Trina was around the house and heard what she figured was a catbird. Being interested in birds as we all are here she went looking around for it out the windows. What she found wasn't a catbird. It was a little orange kitten. Obviously very timid and likely wild, it was not approachable. Trina left an open tin of my sardines out. The kitten enjoyed them. Trina and I both thought we oughtta try to catch it and then consider keep vs adopt out. We have several excellent shelters around and a great organization called Friends of Feral Felines. She went to town and bought a small animal trap and some food. We set the trap and left it out overnight near the last known kitten location. Side yard. Then.... this morning rolled around. You can see the silver of the trap kind of set behind that big rock there. Yesterday Trina set that hoping to catch the orange cat that we had seen and heard. This morning we got up to find the trap had a dark animal in it!! Obviously not an orange cat. So I went outside and discovered a black kitten. There was also several other cats around. If you zoom in on that trap a little bit you can see a dark colored lump at the upper right and an orange colored lump right between the trap and the rock. They are having some breakfast that I put out after I discovered there were more cats out there. Soooo... this morning Trina set to making a kitten cage out of scraps we had laying around. Use what ya have! This is built with old ballusters and some hardware cloth/wire mesh. See the former deck gate at picture left. Handles added for ease of humans. The hinge is a piece of black leather. Here's the black kitten resting in its temporary room. We've since added a piece of carpet to block our neurotic dog from seeing the cage occupants and also covered the whole kitten capturing set up with a pop up. We left the black kitten out in the forest because the other two (that we've seen) have been coming by to visit so we're hoping to catch all three.

Ok here we go Don since I am out of RS jail ... Madge ripping Don a new one for cutting in on a tractor buy. Denny @dclarke refereeing. Don being admonished by Wild Bill @Wild Bill in VAfor being late to the parade and having a speck of dust on his tractor. Me thinks he even got a ticket for that one!

Happy Happy Don! See you in a couple days! Crap my name is not in red and I can't attach pics ... Be right back.

Just an idea for @adsm08 💡

Pivots in the front. No suspension.

Last morning on the Bay.. The horseshoe crabs having a planned parenthood meeting this morning. Barkley's ready for a ball game. Heading Home.

You will find him either eating or nodding off under my canopy!

Wow that seems like so long ago. That was the last big show I attended. I hope to get back one day. Family reunion on the same weekend this year. And who on earth let me get in the front row? Good way to ruin a decent camera!

If I can’t carry it, the trailer gets used. The smaller stuff goes in a bag and then on the trailer.

What? No WH parts in the build??? I expected to see a C 85 hood latch... or two.

Happy Happy Mike! If I can't find a birthday present out in the magic parts shed for ya you can have Pullstart's ice cream in a couple days.

Send me one I could use another mouser.

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉

Packing inspired by @Pullstart.

Ill take them... pickup at show. Never know when you need a spare to keep things original looking. Tony "Docwheelhorse" (860)978-9039

Does it have suspension? Sway bars?

My favorite pair of Keens finally split apart at the toe this year. Still comfortable but now my toes get wet ... 10 years for a pair of boots on these scraggly hooves is amazing. I hope to find some more.

So you sayin' we need to take more tractors along ???

The water pump parts for the Honda 20hp outboard got here a few days ago. I finally got around to installing them. As I was backing the pontoon into the lake and was thinking how easily the engine went back together. My little voice was saying "that was too easy, what's wrong". The engine had a lot of cranking, but no fire. It needed some go juce - which I did not have on board. Good sign, though, was the water coming out of the lower cowling. The pump was working, but I had forgotten to plug the telltale hose and carb drain hoses up to the nozzles in the cowling. Back to the house, set it all right, and grab some carb cleaner for go juice, and back to the launch ramp for a successful launch. I think I'll treat the first tank of gas this year with a 1/4 cup of ATF to get some extra detergents in the fuel system. I suspect that there is still some crud in the enrichment circuit.

Same here Richard. They know what I use mine for and call me when a purchase looks suspicious. They have also credited me for purchases I have made and were never delivered as advertised.

It fits it ships ... hey Mikey he likes it! Two on and tied down. We got 45" on the dovetail @Achto almost think we can get a long & a short on and still have room for a 'Burb.

Funny you should say that. My wife hates when I do the same thing. Usually, I will let them go on and on, then when they take a break to get their breath, I just say Hello?

More yard clean up today. Last weekend, I was scooping leaves out of the lake onto the shore. Today, Morgan, the 14-8, got some cart duty hauling the soggy leaves off of the shoreline. Next, I finished up cutting up the tree that fell out of the woods and into the neighbor's yard - not the whole tree, just the crown. I was using our recently acquired Milwaukee Hatchet pruning saw. Was using an 8 amp hour battery. Over 5 evenings of working on this for an hour or hour and a half, I finished the job with 1/2 of the battery charger remaining. Pictures:

I know absolutely nothing about golf other than binge watching Adam Sandler movies and most golf carts have a beverage holder but why are guys holding their hands up? Someone score a touchdown?

Worked a shift at work this morning, Then worked around the house for a while. I then visited relatives for a few hours in a weekly meeting called “Happy Hour” at my cousin Brian’s, Then picked up the basement/workshop and worked on my R/C car for a few hours. It’s a 1/5 scale Redcat Rampage that I got on my 30th birthday roughly 15 years ago. BTW that’s a roughly 4 foot diameter table.

My daughter has a tumor in that area as well. We found, what we consider, the best surgeon at Yale New Haven. Long story short, she did not have surgery and we are monitoring the tumor with 2x / year MRI’s https://medicine.yale.edu/profile/sacit-omay/

The first show where RedSquare was officially represented was 2008. That year, I believe that the only thing of significance was a banner made by Terry and signed by everyone in attendance, that banner was given to me and is proudly on display at @stevebo’s barn. Pre 2011, we strongly encouraged the use of Photobucket which was a great at the time when we lost the forum, but now any surviving photobucket picture is watermarked so I believe that this picture is the first RedSquare group picture.

Are you talking about something like this? Or something more commercial? I've been considering something like the first "roller" style. They also include a handle so you can push them around by hand.

Pics?
