Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Came home yesterday after being gone for about 4 hours and the neighbors field had been mowed.

For those that don’t know, she told me last year she pays our other neighbor $50 to mow it.

She then told my wife this summer she pays him $45 and ask would I do it for that?…..nope.

It was grown up pretty good.

The guy who mowed it last time came by yesterday going home and I ask if he mowed it. He said no, she hasn’t ask me.

He said a guy down the road did it.

Im glad, looks a lot better. It’s on the other side of the shop to the woods.

 

@RustyGreen the sale section at TSC got me. Had this 5 pack of grinding disc for $7.99





2 regular grinding disc, 2 cut off wheels, and one flap wheel.



Bought one pack yesterday, went back today after church and got the other 5 packs they had.

 

Looks Good. Needs a flat deck c/w gooseneck just to set it off.

Never can have enough of those.

 

It was 35 degrees here yesterday and a guy up the street was out mowing his lawn which was not even remotely overgrown.

 

I need to put some in the welding trailer toolbox.

 

Sorry

 

Some others answered but I’ll tell you what we use them for. After scattering seeds out you run this over and it packs them in, but not to deep

May be my next miniature.

 

you too???

 

I feel like I'm being judged right now...

 

Awesome! Thank you. Can't wait to see more miniatures!

 

What. On TW.

 

You're very meticulous and I appreciate that about you. You're also undeniably strange, we both know it.

 

Socially awkward more like it

 

Plow update:

It works! I was finally able to get some time in the daylight to work on it again today. Started by loosening the hydraulic line at the top of the lift ram first. Activate the pump and no change. Loosened the bottom line and fluid leaked out. Activated the pump and fluid shot out. Removed all hydraulic lines from the lift ram and removed the ram. Took the ram inside to my workbench. Drained the remaining fluid and cleaned the ram up a bit. Put a socket extension through the bottom bolt hole on the ram and stepped on either side then put another socket extension bar through the top and pulled. Hydraulic fluid shot everywhere as the lift ram extended. Cleaned up the mess and went out and installed the lift ram, connected the hoses and the rest of parts, tested the operation and it works! I will still need to replace a few hoses, aim the headlights, replace the rubber torsion bar, zip tie the electrical wires in place and repair a ground wire. But I am happy to have it working and happy I do not have to spend $200 plus on a new lift ram. Thanks to all who offered advice and encouragement.

 

Few things finer than snagging a deal!

A new $1.25 store opened in town, I bought US made Norton brand grinding disks .

 

He got done vacuuming the attic early.
