Steve, Jason thank you both!

Now just to find a suitable end for the shaft and we are good to go.

I had faith that one of our resident members would come through, and low and behold 2 !!

If I remember correctly, I believe that my Dad said that they were also used to check the speed of a cream separator.

That would make sense Steve.

As my Dad is 85 and never worked at or near any machine shop etc.

All of the antique tools came from our family farm so that sounds plausible.

So Steve what is the correct speed of a Cream Separator??

Dumped the fish into the same ice chest as the beer and pop.

But, kept the sammichs in the top tray out of the water.

Just happened to remember:

BIL and I were fishing off a wing dike at French Bottoms Missouri river access. Car pulls up in the parking lot with out of state plate and the family walks over to kibbitz with us.

The wife exclaimed my, how can you catch fish in such muddy water. [emoji2960]

I replied that the River is at a low and clear condition and you should see it when it is high and turbid. [emoji6]

I bet those were fun to catch they usually put up quite a fight. Must of thought you hooked a Blue Marlin. Lol

A pound-and-a-half is a pretty nice brim.I would revisit that spot on a regular basis if it was local. haha

Dad used to own 116 of timber that had 2 rock pits, one was 3-4 acres rectangular & averaged about 22’ depth it had Bass, Crappie, Channel Cats, Blue Cats, Bluegills & sunfish. The other pit was about 5 acres that hit 30’ in one spot it had Walleye also. Dad sold it to buy some more pasture, he has never had any interest in hunting or fishing.

Morning midlanders!

.8” in the last 24 hrs. Fog this am. More rain on the menu.

 

[Workshop]

Calling for patchy rain at best here.
When they say patchy it means move about 5 feet if you want to stay dry.

That is my all-time favorite fish to eat! Crappie is a close second. Bullhead catfish third and forget the rest.
I used to fly fish a lot and I either released or gave away all my trout. I've filleted and given away a few hundred pounds of them.

Small engine update. Pulled the heads to check cylinders. No rust inside. But plenty of rust on the outside. Cylinder are still new. Oil plug was like new on the inside. Found another reason it was not turning over very easy. Lots of mouse stuffings. Now it spins freely. Will need new gaskets. New coils. Coils froze and split. Lots of new rubber and lots of outside cleaning.

Kohler made a new revised head gasket for that engine. Comes in a kit with hardware and instructions. Says install dry. You don't even want oily fingerprints. They had a bad issue with blowing out into the oil drain hole.
