Went to two airports.
Not fun.
Friggin pita.
Not worth the hassle of driving 25 miles for a few gallons

 

I have half dozen or so 20v 5ah batteries at work, 3 chargers and a good start to a decent collection. On 2 trucks, each one has 1/4" impact, 1/2" drill, 1/2" impact, 4 1/4" grinder/cut off. The other truck also has a hedge trimmer, reciprocating saw and a circular saw. So, just on the 2 trucks we're pretty well ready for most tasks. I also have the big cordless multi angle miter saw. So between the 2 trucks there are probably close to a dozen 20v 5ah batteries. I have a small inverter in my truck plus both trucks have generators.

Of all the tools, those grinders are the worse at going through batteries so we try to limit their use to on-site small cuts. Anything big or multiple I try to get it in the shop area and use electric or take an electric grinder out and run off the generators.

But, for the blower, I'm thinking 2-3 minutes max use at each house. And since they aren't there, I don't have to do each house every week. My house I rarely am able to clean off everything in one day, especially this time if year. So I think it'll do what I need.


That compound miter saw is awesome. I got the 12" flexvolt. It handles everthing I've thrown at it so far and haven't run out of battery in a day's work.

Morning all

Yes I said morning

Went to bed at 1130, cat woke me at 0330, back to bed quickly, woke up at 0900, still tired.

Coffee is helping.

Mild temps for us around 90° and 10% humidity.

Yard looks the same

 

Done doing outside work.
Cleaned up around willow and firewood pile. Cleaned up around drain tile pipe that drains water from house to the pond.
I do want to get bow target set up and do some shooting.
We are under a Toronto Watch until 6pm.

 

Yikes!

 

Come down here after Sept 15th and it's Canada Day for the next 6 months.

 

Not many from Texas. Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington State, Minnesota, the Dakotas are the most. Seahawk and Packer banners everywhere.

 

Afternoon Everyone !!!!

Got the Camaro fixed !!! , fixed the stripped out Distributor clamp stud threads . Just running a tap down the hole cleaned the threads up that it now holds the stud better
Also removed the stud that was there and in its place installed a better ARP anodized stud that has a Allen key to tighten .
Also to make sure the new stud stays secure we coated it with blue loctite . tightened it all down and the distributor it secure and won't move or leak oil

We then changed the curve on the distributor again by removing the 21° advance stop bushing and installed a 18° adv stop bushing . Doing this brought full advance now to 2k rpm and now my timing is 16° initial 36° total and my motor seems to like it

We then started talking about doing a Turbo LS swap to my Camaro using a GM 6.0 litre LY6 truck engine which would be right around 645hp to the rear wheels

 

I got the stihl combi unit. Now just waiting for echo weed eater to die but don’t see that happening soon

 

I wouldn’t count on it

 

We usually have a good thunderstorm by now. Our first 2 years here all the fireworks shows got rained out....nothing in the forecast.

 

No rain in the extended forecast for my area thru the end of September !!!! , going to be a long dry 2.5 months
