Truck is running! Im just waiting on my coffee to brew a few cups!

Do I have this right? It's going to be a long commute.

June 24, 1930 First detection of an airplane using reflected radio waves, a precursor to radar, by US Naval Research Laboratory engineers in Anacostia, Washington, D.C.

East bound and down on the PA turnpike. Don’t worry I’m not driving.

Safe travels to all.

You sir, just secured a ride to the big show.

Ready for an early AM departure. Just gotta remember to stop & pick up Jim on the way.

Especially when zooming down the road on our 's...

What's all this talk about rain gear?!?!? I got the booze...

Here's what I know about the subject: In PA you can get a DUI on a bicycle. But you can't get a DUI on a horse, unless the horse is also drunk.

Loaded up!

Hello everyone. First my apologies to all for falling off the face of the earth, specially to the ones that attempted to contact me and perhaps I did not answer. It has been an adventure this last year, starting with our health which unfortunately just wants to travel south , keeping us busy just by the multitude of appointments, tests and the lack of peace of mind which many times just takes all and any motivation away. It’s a struggle. With my father’s passing last year now it’s the impossible task of managing properties in two continents without being there. My wife is not up to travel and I cannot leave her alone so it just complicates things. My younger son is now back with us making things a little easier and certain things possible which is a blessing. Only due to that I am actually now waiting to board a plane so I go for a few days to do some closings on stuff over there. Been also quite discouraged with the current “climate” here , due to which I have taken a bit of outright abuse never having in my life imagined it possible. Amazing how all of a sudden so many change their attitudes towards one, clearly intended on making one feel singled out and unwelcome. Again, feelings I never thought I would have specially after 60 years of being here. I was looking forward to the show this year but unfortunately due to the health and overseas issues it’s not going to be possible. I’ll be looking forward to seeing all the photos. Hopefully I’ll also find time and the motivation to start being active here again. I miss you all.

I think in your introduction post Garry posted a link to all the info on that part of your machine.

Which led to radar speed traps …we all are familiar with those

Butler I am not familiar with this model. I am sure someone will come along give you help. Enjoy the site. We have lots of manuals for these tractors here. There is a lot of members going to the big show this weekend so it might take a little time for them to react to your post.

I second the notion of the plastic wear strip for use on sealed blacktop. This one is HDPE and shows minimal wear after two years. Got it from ShapesPlastics.com. Ordered it "Cut to Size" - all I had to do was drill holes. Ordered it wide enough that I can flip it, if it ever wears out.

Loaded up and really looking forward it! Didn't have time for pics.

See you guys soon . Safe travels .

THANKS, EVERYONE!! It's been a pretty darn good day.

Start them young and raise them right !

Trina and her momma built and modified/ reinforced this cat apartment today. She bought a kit off rhe jungle site. Added a ton of extra screws, staples, and extra latches. Also added the board ramps to ease climbing for a week or two.

Update! A few days ago I finally took the time to get the smaller Jonsered fired up and working and properly adjusted. That gives me two good solid 49cc saws. The Echo CS490 will keep the 18" bar. The Jonsered 2054 49cc will have the 20". Today I was finally able to get my Jonsered CS 2171 back from the small engine repair place! Basically a completely rebuilt engine. Crankshaft bearings and seals. Piston and cylinder. Rebuilt carb. Fresh tune. That currently has a 24" bar. I'm ordering a longer bar. 28" or 32"...(?) Depends what good deal I find. Here's my smallest chainsaw with my largest. Echo 33cc 16" bar. Jonsered CS 2171 71cc 24" bar.

There is room on that trailer guy!

Mike, They are still on the old wheels but I will bring them to the Big Show on Friday. not sure where I will be but look for the tractor. Don

Omg I thought this thread was for buying and selling wheelhorse stuff! Lots of ugly, bald and fat talk. Maybe this would be a good site for hair loss products!😳

Truck half loaded. Rain boots in the trunk filled with impact driver and miscellaneous sockets

Rolling out early in the morning. See you all at the parking lot party and show. Rain suit is packed and I’ll be there rain or shine.

I burned coal when I was a kid. I don't know the tonnage but we used to get a couple homemade bins filled that took up the space of one cord of wood, each. We would start the fire with wood and keep it going with anthracite. I wouldn't be opposed to using that again if we were to set ourselves up. But the firewood right now is free except for the fuel and maintenance on the machines used to process it.

Never a dull moment… I thinks I’ve got water in my fuel. The road is so busy and I’m on a blind curve, I can’t get out to investigate. Waiting for a police escort to block the road…
