So what did you do today?

Cleaned up a neighbors Bradford pear, this has got to be the biggest I've seen around these parts. He said it was about 20 years old.

Springfield, about 30 miles north of Nashville.

Yeah I know where Springfield is, I'm about 30 or so miles south of Nashville.

My pastor says Bradford Pear is good wood for turning, I'm probably about to try some for knife handle scales. Seems fairly dense to me also.

It does seem fairly dense, even with a sharp chain the sawdust was pretty fine. I normally file my rakers pretty aggressive, if I had to cut this stuff much I wouldn't run them as aggressively. Some pretty grabby stuff. It does have some spots that has some really pretty grain.

Did 7 miles on the mountain bikes this afternoon, been a little bit since we've done this. I'm kinda beat now lol

Today I did jack chit. Been off for two days for rain. Took the wife to one of our favorite breakfast joints...I had a whole mess of sunny side up eggs, home fries, bacon and French toast, she then made me slightly jealous by ordering biscuits and gravy.

But yesterday I hung our TV on the wall with a fancy full motion wall mount.



Don't mind the clutter and mess...my wife is chronically making messes and moving things for me to clean up lol we are very yin/yang here...

Started my porch stack of wood.

Nice Dominick. Now you just need to hide those cords.

I mounted a TV at my daughters house last week.

My first inline 3 g2 but I've rigged and worked on plenty and they're not too bad.

They have. I still prefer a good old carbureted 2 stroke though.

I should clarify.
I worked on atv/utv and watercraft.
Those came out after I changed career path so I don't know anything about their outboards.

Ahh. I hate Sea Doos with a passion. They suck to work on. Haven't messed with any of their utv or atv stuff.

Atv/utv about the same...
Mostly same "stuff" in a different package.
Most definitely not designed for the poor bastage that has to work on them.
Over complicated and shoehorned into the tightest places.

That is about the last of the Mohicans isnt it? How many years will they continue to mfg parts?

 

[WillG]

They are honoring parts and warranty for another 10 years

Damn shame they closed the doors. I read somewhere that Mercury was stepping in for their boat mfg obligations?

I have no clue what they're doing. And not out of business, just not producing outboards for the time being.
