It's wet and windy Julz. Cat 2 Cyclone. Preventative state of emergency. Just made it home from Hamilton over the Auckland Harbour Bridge and the Brynderwyn Hills before they closed shut behind us.
I've already stopped twice locally to pull debris out of drain grates. Branches on the road all over the place.
Stay safe down there

Fox squirrels here are just Fox squirrels.
They look totally different than the grey squirrels. Much bigger, and a different snout/face.
Have seen a few red Squirrels, but farther north.
This is what we call a Fox squirrel. Sorry for the grainy image.View attachment 364517
We only have red squirrels in my area, and by god are they ever little devils. They got a lot of fight in them that’s for sure lol. They also don’t like it at all when you venture into their territory

Just got back from the ER. That tooth i had worked on 3 weeks ago just went sideways on me. Fever, chills, sweating like crazy then freezing cold. Hope these meds kick in quickly.
GWS ... nothing worse than tooth pain.

Better now then in a couple of weeks there John. Ice-Breaker World of Outlaws starts at Lincoln Speedway on I believe the 23rd of this month.
Funny yinz guys been talking about the black squirrels. I never saw any here at the house until this winter. Ohio is loaded with em though. I understand grays are their enemy. Any insight on this? Still have plenty of pineys and fox squirrels though.

I was under the assumption that the blacks and grays were the same species. We have plenty of reds (dirty little bastards)but fox squirrels do not exist in my area as far as I know. All this squirrel talk...look what I started 🤣😂

Ding, ding, You are correct sir. I had to Google it this morning. And I now see how the blackness comes from bad jeans LOL.

Have you run it yet? Thoughts ?

I have. I like it a lot.
You seem to have a preference for broken and rebuilt now new off the shelf.

I do. That's usually due to cost. After running that slacker @stihl livin 500i a few years ago, I've kind of wanted one. After I got that 441 going I found how nice Mtronic and elastostart is.
So, I started saving. Was pretty close to saved up, the dealer finally got some in and my wife just said go get it.

Morning men. Noticed a gap in my wood burner door last night. Might explain the excess wood consumption...new gasket on the way. Happy Sunday!!
If it's similar to the Quadrafire steptop that I have, there will be a larger than necessary triangular void in the corner where the rope sits. I added a short section of fire blanket ( or door rope), to slight lift the rope in the top and bott latch side corners that will possibly become the permanent fix. Also many door latches are adjustable for how tight they pull in.

No washer fluid to be found in this county, 3 gas stations, 3 dollar stores, 2 auto parts stores, 1 grocery store, no one has any.

On back order I was told by every store. I may just piss in the washer jug and hope it does not freeze.
Different colored windshield washer fluid is prob the latest, greatest craze in colored ice and meth mfg’ng. Or like eggs, the bird flu done f’d it up somehow. Sounds like the piss jug theory might be the way to go.

Having moved from the northeast snowbelt to the warm south, I completely forgot about windshield washer fluid. Probably have a couple gallons in the shed. Sitting on a gold mine apparently.

Good morning all. Another rainy day. I hope they are saving some for summer.

As a matter of fact it's a 4300 flat top. I tightened the latch as much as it allowed but still have the gap. I will keep your suggestion in mind. Upper right hand corner seems to be the worst spot...the gasket is much flatter in that area.
