Tractorhead 8,612 #2876 Posted August 12, 2021 Shared the Pickup today with Mr. Tractorhead. After she had her cardiologic Troubles, she gets daily better. So we decided she needs again a Bike to train her fitness, but what to choose after her Knee surgery. We finalized the decision with a ( i believe) great Bike. it‘s becomes finally a Scott E-Bike. 8 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel Horse 3D 3,640 #2880 Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) Got the mini bike thumb throttles on. Never did think it was a good idea to steer by the accelerator. Now for a couple replacement grips. Tomorrow will be rewiring the bilge pump on B.O.B.(Big Ol' Boat or Bayliner) Edited August 12, 2021 by Wheel Horse 3D 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

formariz 11,865 #2884 Posted August 13, 2021 The new dedicated carving table adaptation to bench works great. However tools were now inconveniently placed on actual bench. Made quick attachment for carving table so tools are conveniently located and with edges facing me as it should be. It swivels with table to adjust with table position. The bench evolution is non stop. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mickwhitt 4,197 #2886 Posted August 14, 2021 Spent the day at one of our local churches, the one where we got married. They were having a gardening day and asked me if I could do anything about a 40 foot tree that had become a nuisance. Didn't have to ask twice, I scaled it and took it down in stages. Very happy vicar and church warden. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 9,976 #2887 Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Got told to take it easy over the weekend after a funny turn yesterday. OK now. So had quiet day pup minding mostly. In the afternoon eldest daughter turned up, followed by youngest and grandchildren. To see the pup, not me of course.

Ed Kennell 35,935 #2888 Posted August 14, 2021 Got nearly 3 hours of seat time on the Raider 12. Mowed about 3 acres of right of ways between the farms. That HH120 is a sipper, using less than 2 gallon to crank the 42"SD for 3 hours. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel Horse 3D 3,640 #2891 Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Spent the day helping son work on their fixer upper house. Used scrap roofing metal for a ceiling, and finally got to use my rotory shears. Found an old bad ass drill that diesnt have a reverse, but works perfect for this. Dunno how I got along without such a gadget all these years.(standard snips, backwards sawblades, angle grinders) this thing is slicker rhan greased owl poo on a frozen lake after a rain in Alaska in February.

8ntruck 6,420 #2895 Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) Got the chipper/shredder out and processed the yard debris I swept up with the yard sweeper the other day. Next, I played @ebinmaine junior with the Horse and yard cart to move the big pile of split birch to the wood rack near the fire circle. 5 or 6 cart loads later, that big ole pile of wood turned out to be about a face cord once stacked. We are set for bonfire wood for a while. Edited August 19, 2021 by 8ntruck 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
