Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Used Ginger for some HD hauling today.
Found this real US made school house pencil sharpener at an estate sale for $1.


And this cool cast iron flywheel for $5, I thought it needed a good home. 14" across and 1-1/4" shaft size.

 

I wouldn't pass up that pencil sharpener...the old flywheel
Kind of slow around here today...
From yesterday at coworker who welded up some tin for me.

 

Sheep will need hooves trimmed if the terrain is not rocky enough to keep them wore down. Sheep may not destroy as much as goats. Goats and sheep both will strip bark off of small trees, so say goodbye to any small trees and shrubs you may have.

 

Goats need hooves trimmed also

 

We never had goats, just cows then sheep.

 

Check also into the medicinal upkeep of whatever you look into, worm medicine, etc.

 

We have the same sickle-bar mower on a Fordson down at the fairgrounds.

 

Its a slow day here too. I'm pretty unmotivated today.

 

Does your wife hate you

 

Sheep also tear grass out by the roots, so will ruin any field they are kept in unless moved to a different pasture.

 

I keep this stuff in the garage...

 

Fifty hours fab time to make a better pencil sharpener -- sounds about right for me... I do have an old motor kicking around, there are some belts in the shed and I think some ........

Several hours later:

 

As long as Ginger still has a spot in the garage

 

She doesn't go out there, I gather?

 

Fixed for you

 

Currently the daily van is sitting in Gingers spot, the LF brake started dragging (4 months ago) so Ginger ended up on both daily duty and mower towing too -- the brakes went to the floor on the old F-250 this spring...

 

Sounds as if you need a helper

 

Fortunately to the ladies one engine/tractor/air compressor/etc. looks just like the rest.

Useful line: "Oh, that? It was over behind that thing before..."

I bought a car once (for her actually) when she was downstate visiting her mother. She was talking on the phone to her mother when she pulled in.
Wife: "There is a car here I don't recognize -- and he is sleeping under it..." (not uncommon for me)

Kenny Rogers & Kim Carnes had a 1980 duet called "Don't fall in love with a dreamer" -- my version is "Don't fall asleep under a leaker".

 

Wonder when craig is aloud back from being banned!! @Wyoming09

 

I very much do, I am the original one man band... << all rusty

Good help is hard to find -- and harder to pay for.
