Should be OSHA 500 certified by tomorrow afternoon. I went to Bass Pro Shop again tonight. Bought about 75 bucks worth of trout flies. Now i just gotta buy a fly rod

Ha, could have bought a kit for that much $ and made your own
Cortland makes good, basic rods.

Good morning gimps

Y'all are handy folks.
FiL took the rear brakes off the BILs mitsi ute. One side only luckily before he admitted to being over his head.
Mrs sent me out to see what I could do. I copied the existing side in reverse but it still was somewhat of a sucky job.

Is there just a knack to getting all those springs and clips and ratchet pawls together in some reasonable space of time? I bozo'd my way to a result but had to have a few goes at it.

I hate putting back together what someone else disassembled. The knack is doing enough of them to get good at a s-wordy job.

Morning folks. Woke a bit early to some more heavy rains.

You did the right thing by trying to mirror the opposite side. There’s a handy little brake spring tool I bought at a parts house for like $8 a while ago, and that really aids in installing the springs. My method for setting the adjusters may not be 100% right, but I’ve always adjusted them out until I get a light drag on the drum when spinning by hand.

Good morning men, happy Friday. Looking forward to some time off next week. Stay safe all, or @John Wargo will write you up. He is certifiable now!

Like Ken, it’s been raining here again since last night.

Send some our way Andy.

Good morning men.

These powered lifts are quite the commodity around here, so when they are removed we store them on one of our semi trailers in the yard until needed. This one popped a breaker when it was plugged in, so our color-blind machinist decided to open it up. After asking me which wires were which color a few times, I suggested he let the hammer donkey repair it. Next thing you know he showed up with a sheet of Panduit labels for me to apply. Problem solved
Good morning.

Morning / Evening All. Ran held off long enough for Elliott and his grade 6 classmates to celebrate the end of the school year and change to a new school next year. Started drizzling shortly after they finished the fireworks and hasn’t stopped yet. Tonight we’ll take Watson to T’s step-brother for him to look after while they figure out what is happening with his mom. If he could learn to *s-word in the yard instead of sneaking off and doing it somewhere in the house he would be more welcome to stay longer as they dogs do get along and like each other.

Send some our way Andy.

Wish it worked that way.

This must be why Ed’s always busy: clever marketing..

Trump is no idiot, sorry

Scratch that...not sorry...

I hate politics and didn’t watch it, but saw some bits and pieces on the news. From what i saw, Joe’s family should be ashamed for letting it happen.

Any chance we could name this thread Not So Political, and stick to it? We give them entirely too much energy and thought as it is. Way more than any of them deserve.
