10 pointsWe used to watch our 3 granddaughters every day. I loved pranking them with Alexa. Best one - I programmed Alexa to respond to a specific question with a specific answer. Me: Alexa, who farted? Alexa: I'm pretty sure it was Grandma. She might need to go wipe. Somebody, open a window. The girls thought it was hilarious. They would bring neighborhood friends in, just to ask Alexa who farted! The giggling was priceless!

5 pointsRolled into the Delaware Beach house yesterday amid heavy rain and warnings oy 75MPH winds. Lucky the winds peaked out at 45MPH but the temp dropped to 28* this morning. I made the girls (Mrs. K and her two sisters) a deer hunters breakfast this morning. Venison scrapple, sausage, and puddin with home fries and eggs. Then took a walk on my crowed beach to walk off a few cal. t'wis a short walk at 28* and 45mph wind. 98.6* in the tub warmed the old bones up.

5 pointsI have done the FREE give-away a few times with great results. Not worth sitting around attempting to sell a couple old tires for a $ 1.00 when there are so many people to talk with and trailer queens to drool over.

4 pointsThe only part of your engine that becomes hot enough to damage regular spray paint is the head and the cooling fins around the cylinder. The head should never be painted and the cooling fins should only be given a light coat of high temperature paint, I prefer flat black for the fins.

4 pointsMrs. 953 nut has "Seri" on her I Phone as a personal assistant distraction. Seri can give more incorrect answers in one minute than anything I've ever seen. Mrs. 953 will ask it a question, it will respond with "I did not understand your question." Ask it the same question phrased differently and it will tell you where you can buy what it thinks you were seeking information about, but not the information you were seeking. Some times you will be having a conversation about a subject and Seri will chime in with some worthless information. Yesterday Mrs. 953 asked me how wide the straits of Hormuz are, Seri chimed in and said she would give us driving directions. NO THANKS Seri.

4 pointsGeez and to think I was just using Alexa to track how many girdles she was buying. Seriously ... try saying "Alexa ... where are my horse parts ? ...

4 pointsI am an 81 old retired industrial and I own 2 Commando 8 that are still in working order and I do my best to keep them like that!

4 pointsThat Girl ! Just arrived at the Delaware Beach house that has Alexa. Me Alexa, what did I come in this room for? Alexa Sorry, I can not pick your brain, but if you do find the object and have any questions regarding it. I will be pleased to provide the answer.

3 pointsI just saw this @ebinmaine Someone gave me a floor model of the same vintage a few years ago. It came from a maintenance dept. in a chemical company that made resins so it was a mess but actually lightly used. The Reeves pulley was damaged but I had it machined and loved the variable speed and power. Sandblasted, replaced bearings and switch. Paint, like new. Had to part with it for a benchtop due to space restrictions but it was a great press!

3 pointsThe show grounds and events sound good. The snow plow on the front of the "D" might be indicative of early May weather possibilities in Indiana.

3 pointsThe building I've been working on is about as complete as I'm going to make it for this season. It's on the location on the train layout and will have a building across the tracks tied together by a walkway over the tracks at some point. I made add more objects in and around the area as I come up with ideas These building are cheap. Scraps of foam board for walls and shingles and flat roof. Masking tape for round roof's roofing. Window glass is plastic sheeting from TV's I taken apart. A couple dollars of the small bottles of paint. The "grass" is brushes from an old paint brush. Labor is biggest investment and that's my plan to have something to do in winter months.

3 pointsAgreed @953 nut Guys at work use seri to set timers all day. It misbehaves A LOT! "hey hows your bacon doing chef? its been a minute?" Shoot, no timer! I personally listen to good music. Rock music my father listened to. I know in about two songs turn the chicken breast. Two more and done. easy peasy

2 pointsGood day all, and happy St. Patrick’s Day! So I’ve been searching the forum, and couldn’t quite find what I was looking for, so I hope this is not a redundant post… I’m looking for a high temperature sunrise red paint… Rustoleum? Does such a thing exist in that color? The closest I found online does not list that color specifically. Curious what the rest of you have done with engine block paint choices. My engine is coming back from the shop this coming weekend and looking forward to getting the old girl moving forward! Best, Jason

2 pointsI added the two spare tire holders a few days ago. Also prepped and glued the kingpin plate on. Axle set is in place. There'll be more framing added beside & in front of the axles. This is one of two top catwalk pieces I'm using to scratch build a top walk for this tanker. The double diamond plate strip on the box there will be the center of it. I used the back of a #11 Xacto blade to score the groove and snapped the edges off. I also got some more paint laid on.
-
2 pointsYeah I was just gonna fill the trailer with crap and park over by Ed Dog but it I don't wanna have to sit there all day. Rather hang out on Squonkie's corner or just tool around.

2 pointsMy Alexa is on the first floor. Wife and I were in the basement and suddenly Alexa starts telling me that ahe doesn't know how to help me! Hmm...
-
2 pointsAnd you were worried that I would put a curse on you for using those. Hopefully it will make you happy that I'll be giving one another shot. I already have one installed on Dino but I'm not quite done with the tractor yet. I'll leave it on until I put the tractor to work and get things ironed out if it runs that long. Fear not. I'll have a quality pump on hand if (ummm, when) it fails.

2 pointsThat happened years back. One of my Napa customers was the Canoga fire chief. I hear on the scanner a fire call to his residence for a porch fire. He came in the store a while later and of course I harassed him about it. Turned out he was BBQ ing and things got out of hand!
-
2 pointsNot sure how much snow we actually got due to the high winds and drifting, but I would say somewhere in the 8-12” range. IMG_4747.mov IMG_5124.mov

2 pointsOn the horizontal shaft Vanguards, the PTO side cover (bearing plate) are the same 12.5 to 23hp. I have 14, 16, and 23hp models and the bearing plates interchange. I can't verify the vertical shaft engines because I only have one small block 16hp vertical. That being said, they probably will interchange. Vanguards use many common parts.

2 pointsThe 1st generation Toronado is one of my favorite cars. Never had one, though. The early ones had drum brakes all around. Being a heavy car with ample power, brake fade set in quickly. Popular Science, or maybe Popular Mechanics, a story about weight distribution hitches when they first came out. The article featured a picture of a Toronado hitched to a travel trailer with an equalizer hitch. The car and trailer were sitting level - eeven though the rear wheels on the Toronado had been removed.

2 pointsYes!! And 2 link chains and a set of firestones…. Ya, i pushed. It on as fast as I could, strapped it down and left…. A smiled the whole way home!!! I have an air filter cover of my twin 17. Thanks though!! The wiring though!! Wow!! There is a toggle switch and the funky key switch. I have some wiring from isavetractors…. There is a C160 is gonna get the knife on wiring and a new key switch!!

2 pointsTypically a motorcycle term, but it is the part that holds the air filter and attaches to the inlet of the carburetor. Air filter cover, air cleaner, air box, tomato, potato...

2 pointsThree years this thing’s been sitting with a rotten frame and a missing fuel tank. I picked up this ‘04 right hand drive Jeep tub and frame this weekend. There are a handful of brackets related to steering and track bars that need to be swapped from the green Jeep frame to the donor frame. But the frame itself is in much better shape than the other. No soft spots and no holes I can nearly stick my fist through! I do not plan on getting this project done any time soon, but it’ll be safe until then. IMG_2713.mov

2 pointsYou keep blaming me for all your crap Uncle Jim these guys will believe I’m on the other side of the pond this week

2 pointsSounds like a job for them Wisconsin boys @Achto @WHX?? on their next 37.5 hour 6 state rustling tour... make sure it's snowing on them the whole route... they love that...
-
2 pointsNaw them never go out of style... Yah well Pullstart never put the deuce in the shed yesterday either... I have no problem with those cheapy fuel pumps @Racinbob. This one managed to empty two tanks so far. Waiting in the wings ... don't worry you'll get your chance.

2 pointsThe model pre-dates the . The year maybe not so much. You know how I like my antique equipment. Had to get a special permit to run this machine. That permit is about to expire & I don't really have much interest in renewing it,
-
2 pointsAs @WHX?? stated we had some light snow flurries here in Wisconsin the last couple days. It stopped snowing late Sunday afternoon. I went out & cleared that 8" or so of wet mess up before calling it a day. Woke up this morning to white out conditions again. Todays mess. Waiting for the snow to let up before I go tackle todays job. Probably won't do much good though. The wind is supposed to hold in the mid to upper 20mph range for a while.

2 pointsOK, I'll take everything in that pic + anymore you got! LOL You're more than welcome to throw a pile of stuff out on our set up in front of the vendor barns and get it to the next guy that needs/wants it. We sell it but you keep the money. Put a fair price on stuff and it'll easily move, try to get top dollar for every little thing and you'll be bringing most of home. Jay will take any leftover stuff you don't want. I take stuff people leave around the grounds in our area too just so the WHCC doesn't get stuck cleaning it up. There's a couple other guys that do that too. I see a frame, hood, hood stand and a belt guard + which is enough to get started on a tractor build giveaway tractor. Those things should somewhat match so there's no cutting/welding. I can donate a running 8hp Kohler engine plus more.

1 pointDid some spring greasing and swapped some wheels and tires around to free up a set for a new project Found a cracked shifter boot on the c165 and replaced it with a new one I had on the shelf. It stays under cover but glad I got around to doing some routine maintenance and caught it.
-
1 pointNew stuff can be tricky, just went on Northern Tool which used to stock a handful of Cat 0 options, but they don't seem to have much anymore either. I've lucked out a few times just keeping an eye on Facebook Marketplace, or Craigslist for used equipment. Or like @kpinnc said, the Brinly hitch setup works well too, you can either get the hitch mount on smaller machines, or if you have one with a 3 point there are adapters for that like in my third picture.
