So what did you do today?

[Bigmac]

Busted out my kombi and put two extensions and the pole saw attachment to trim some branches hitting the house!


And made a dump run for garage!
Then put my clone 372 back together after some port work, need to find some wood!

Milled 4 more Black Oak boards, in the hot, hot sun … really zapped me, but I got it done! I also thought rolling the log down off the pile w/o any injuries or loosing control of it was quite an accomplishment. Move this piece, but not that one, kinda like a jig saw puzzle with no room for mistakes. You don't want to loose control of one of those things, they can hurt ya! Makes life interesting! Was just me, my saws, and the Timberjack.

You need a BG 86 to take with you as a fan on them hot days.

So I stopped in at a gas station today to grab a fresh fountain soda, you know to get some diabetes. I realized when I was walking in that there was a lady at one of the pumps filling up while she was smoking a cigarette.

Minding my own business I continued in and notice two cops in the store shooting the crap with the clerk, drinking coffee and holding the counter down. I grabbed my soda and started to pay and saw the lady that was smoking the cig's arm was on fire....full fledge on fire. She was waving it around frantically trying to put it out, obviously making it worse.

The cops noticed what was going on at the same time I did. They ran outside to help her. They both threw their coffee's on her arm, then took her to the ground and did stop drop and roll. When they put her arm out they got her up and put handcuffs on her.

I was a little confused. As I walked by I asked one of the cops, why'd you put her in cuff's? He said for waving a firearm in public!

NYH1.

Haha good one !

Black oak is some hard stuff and heavy you should really ask for help moving that stuff sometimes.

Help is not always available, sometimes you just gotta get it done! Keeps you one your toes, and makes you think through how you can accomplish it by yourself.

You can have him spray the bleeders with PB blaster before you get there, as well as where the lines couple.
A little heat goes a long way too.
A trick I use on a lot of rusted, bolts/nuts/bleeders and the like is to turn them in slightly to break them loose instead of backing them out. When they come loose and I'm backing them out if they start to bind or they are real tight I will run them back in to clean the threads off.
Hope this is helpful for you, if you already know it maybe it will help someone.
Good luck, that's always fun stuff, not lol.

I spray down rusty brake parts days in advance, of course it helps having a fleet of junkers to roll around in.

Yeah buddy.
When a good friend of mine move here from California I had to introduce him to the hot wrench LOL. When you live in the rust belt and you work on your own rides that's one of the first tools you need to know how to use.

Done it more than once. Road salt is PITA. Bought a 1977 Firebird from a kid that brought it to Utah from Ohio. That road sale had really taken it's toll.

Edit: salt, not sale.
This thing is "killin' me smalls"

When I have to replace wheel cylinders or calipers I like to dab a little high load grease or vaseline over then bleeders. Sure it attracts dirt but it keeps them clean.

This is what I did today what a pain to put the main rod bearings back in. Uuuuug. Runs really well though.

Nice work.
Seems a lot of guys like those saws.

Yea i think it's because it's more of a torque top handle saw than a high rpm saw like the 200t that's my guess. Lol

Took this pic just now for you!
