Meh...

They make much noise about things that aren't worthy of it.

First for me today, something I always wanted to do, and the opportunity presented itself so I took it. It kicked my butt, but consider the source. I would have liked a better tool but no excuses. The victim was a 8-10" dead pine. The "before" pic of the tree will not load:

Half way there and I want to pick up a saw reeeeeeaaaaaaaallllllll bad:



Finally laid it down after much sweat and many breaks:




Is it just me or is this just ugly:




The secret is good lungs, good stamina, good tool, and good aim, for which I went 0-4, but did have persistence.

 

[Hedgerow]

Lol...

Looks like an under-fed beaver chewed that thing down..

Did he get indigestion?

The 'Driver dip' is not without risk. I managed to get enuff moisture in the 050 crankcase to short out the plug when I first tried to start it.

Aired it out by pulling it over twenty or so times before putting the plug back in.

No harm done but if it sat long enuf it would most certainly would have.


Remember the '70s when you had to dump a 16 oz bottle off water down the carb throat of an idling engine to cure 'run on'?

Oh. Morning midlanders!

I preferred ATF. Much more dramatic.
Can't use that now. Catalytic converters are expensive.

Mid '70s my HS buddy had an El Camino with 402 BB. Once a month 16 oz of water down each primary throat. Otherwise it would knock and run on.

Good morning guys. Another nice fall day.
