60+ year old thread.

Good morning all. Forecast today sounded like a pretty slim chance of rain so I rode the bike to work, pretty much my normal. It started pouring here about 30 minutes ago and hasn't let up. Looking at the bright side my bike was filthy from a 600+ mile weekend so it does need a bath......

 

Was the BBQ worth it?

 

Did you get pictures?

 

YES! We had 8 bikes show up from around the area with me riding the furthest at 170 miles. Little BBQ/Ice cream drive in type of place. I had a 2 meat platter consisting of 1/2 a smoked chicken, 1/4 rack of ribs, baked potato, and baked beans for $14 and I brought half of my meal home with me. I have some friends with a house about 30 miles south of there and sent them info to make sure they go check it out when they're out that way. I'll go back without hesitation. No pics though, too busy eating!

 

Good Morning all, here is a picture I took yesterday while biking from Marina near me.

 

Afternoon Porch Folks

Plenty of options out there. I got the GoRhinos because the wife needs the step to get in and it has a good non skid surfsce.

Just reading all that tuckered me out Kurt. Finding a good reputable garage these days is damn near impossible (especially since Mike retired).

 

LOL! I got all that footspace for me! Saturday party was first time in 2 years she has been in truck. She was not impressed, especially with the AC in106 temps. Which is one reason I didn't get grief about letting these guys check it! And her RAV4 has AC seats. .

I really have my about this place. If each of these guys are half a @Tacoma Mike , then that adds up! Like I said I can't hear those Bearings until it's almost over. So, I'm glad they gave me the time to check Little Big Red over.

 

OK, put up tools, and pool break.

Timer apparently got the first OFF time scheduled to every other day. Hard to see, but there are 16 schedules, and all can be programmed to any schedule. Must have hit the day button.



Hooked up each feed line to the garden hose (see them in the top of the pic.), and blew a lot of joints loose! That made sure everything dripped. Then I tested just the pump put of the 4way. Nothing but noise. Replaced it with a "good used" and that was it.




I still want more pressure, but that won't be easy!

 

Thanks Guys..

 

No, no camera phone and didn't have a camera with me, would have been neat to get a pic. of it, it was on the front seat of a truck with a cover over it, definitely a neat thing to lay eyes on.
GOOGLE> "miniature 9mm gatling gun", it will show the one that I saw with videos showing it in action.

 

Heres a YouTube link to see the miniture Gatling Gun in action.

Damn, it sure burns up the ammo . Can be yours for $5000. Not a bad price...

 

Well,.....of course it does!

 

And, truck is done. I'll pick it up tomorrow am.

 

Yup, that's it Ken!
That's what the guy had mentioned it costs, it was won on a raffle ticket and I think he said he would sell it for $3,500. I like but have no need for it, and sure as heck don't want to buy the ammo to shoot it!
Just thinking, it would be much more fun to shoot it using black powder ammo, the smoke cloud it would create would be awesome!

 

I'd almost drive 40 hr for that price. Almost

 

Good morning fellow Porchatonians!!! I've always wanted a 1/2 scale Civil War era canon or a Pack Howitzer to fire off each morning. Maybe when I win the Powerball...........

 

Good Morning Colonel
RESPECT

 

Good morning all.

 

Good morning everyone! Ha be e a great day!


Mark I have a friend in town who made a small cannon. He used to have #7 FFL so he could make guns and repaired them . He gave it up 10+ years ago. Now he's fighting dementia, sad same age as me.
