60+ year old thread.

Now get off my lawn...

 

Replacing the gear box seal on a washer is a pain...you have to damn near disassemble the whole washer...like Tom suggested, do your shopping on line and see what deals are out there...any scratch and dent stores (Sears has some) near by? you can get some good deals if you don't mind some imperfections in the metal...Ken

 

Haven't had time to even look at the break down.... figures. Guess my 2012 buying guide and I are going shopping....

evening all

 

My washer is... lets see got it in May/Jun of '97 so, it's nowhere near new... Was going to get a new one when I bought my house, but, didn't "NEED" a new one, so... now 9 1/2 years later it might be time...

 

Morning all...sunny and chilly so lookin at the good side up...Ken

 

Morning All. Nice day down here. Must clean the fire pit and get ready to smoke some birds. Jim

 

morning all: was out scouting yesterday. not too much sign. got in the truck and about 1/2mi. down the road stood a wallhanger buck. this area is really thick, but i'm going to be back up there. probablly never see him again. wasn't too far from pocono raceway.

my project for today is to convert lat. long. over to UTM on the gps, and create some waypoints. I'm one of the few that uses UTM, based on the 1000 m. grid. find it very easy to use.

 

Morning everybody. I just found this thread. I'm glad to finally find out that I'm not the only "old guy" on here.

 

Welcome Bob...we discuss just about everything here and have a really a great bunch of folks...the more the better...pull up a chair on the porch and relax...Ken

 

Welcome Bob, 1'st air cav. in the 60's!!! Cool, We must hear about it.. Jim

 

morning gang....

Had a scare with Zoie last night... she got a bottle of my gear oil and had broken the seal. Don't think she got more than a taste, but scared the you know what out of me. The bottle has been in the same spot for the last 2 1/2 months and she never messed with it before. Called the pet poison hot line and they said not to worry, unless she started throwing up or getting diarrhea. Thankfully no issues, just have to watch her closer.

welcome Bob

 

Sue, Morning, When the dogs get in something that is ?? take to the back yard and get as much of a (16oz.) bottle of peroxide as you can down the hatch. Not nice to see but what ever is in there is coming out. Jim

 

I was ready to... but after talking to the poison folks, and don't think she got much if any more than a taste. There was no oil on the side of the bottle and only a little on the seal and there was only a tiny hole in the seal. Now if the seal had a big hole and there was oil all over the bottle, I'd have done that in a heart beat.

Now, do I even have any peroxide... adding peroxide to shopping list

 

Welcome Bob. There are quite a few of us older guys on the board. the younguns tolorate us.

 

Or is it the other way around Tom...Ken

 

Thanks for the welcome. We were snowed out at work today so I'm enjoying a rare Saturday off. From spring 'til winter we usually go six days a week so this is a nice change.

I'm supposed to be semi-retired but I think some people haven't gotten the word yet.

Maybe if I just quit answering the phone things would settle down a little?

 

hi bob: works in the woods, northern CA.- any big hairy critter stories?

thought I saw one once, but it was only one of the locals.
welcome!

 

More on said train shed.

 

Thanks. Happy to hear your dog was ok. I don't use any poisons in the house/yard because of the dogs. never in my life thought she'd take a full bottle to play with Now she's not allowed out unless I go out.

 

Morning All, Its robsled's birthday. PM min to say Happy B day. Jim
