    Broken Spindle?

    It is not that complicated unless the races have got so hot that they welded to the spindle. From what I see in the pictures and the short distance hauled I don't think that is the case, First clean every thing up and wire brush any rust. Then spray WD40 or PB Blaster around the races to soak...

    Broken Spindle?

    Fishing with ASPECK

    I need a timing light

    How many of the old timers on the list remember the neon tube timing lights. I have one from back in the 1950's and it still works. The only problem was you had to use them in an unlit tunnel at midnight. Even in the garage I would have to hang an old blanket down from the hood to darken the...

    Was going to get one of these for my truck hitch to deter tailgaters. Then I realized that only 5% of the population would understand it and they probably don't ride my bumper anyway.

    Drive in Movie on the Water

    Just ran across this today and at first thought what a novel idea. Then the cynic in me starting thinking of all the things that could go wrong. Are these boats anchored and are the patrons ferried out to them? Where are the restrooms when the boats are only six feet apart? Having experience...

    So, what did you do today?

    Stacked the last of my "money logs" today since my friend is picking them up Monday. I don't usually work like this on Sunday but since my favorite 15 year old saw died and I returned the borrowed grapple yesterday I was forced to finish the job with forks on the skidsteer. Since I was on the...
