Ayuh,... Built a new Tool yesterday,...

[Bondo]

Ayuh,... Ya know what it's like when you're stabbing an outdrive back onto the boat,+ You hear that solid metal to metal Clang, about 2" short of Home,..??
It's the Splines lining up with each other, rather than sliding together...
Bumping the motor is Out of the question, the key is 20' away....
Without a prop on the drive, turning the propshaft is Impossible....
Sooo,.... Yesterday, when that Happened,....
I dropped everything,+ went to wandering thru my piles of Junk,...
There I found an old prop hub I'd cut outa the center of an old prop to make a Propeller Plant Pot(ya, I welded a plate to the bottom to hold the dirt,+ water)....
I took the old hub,+ cut the aluminum away from it leaving Just the steel spline, covered with the rubber donut,...
Now,...
I can slide the spline over the propshaft,+ turn it by Hand, just that Tiniest amount to drop the drive in,....
I just can't believe it's taken Sooo many danm years to figure that 1 out......

I'll try to update this later with a Picture,......

Good Luck,+ Have a Great Day all....

Ayuh,.... Just for You Mark,....

And of course,... Here's the Tool,...
Prototype #1.... Notice the cushioned rubber grip for easy on the callouses gripping,...


I wonder if 1 of those plastic blocks they use in the new component hubs would do the same thing,..??
Without having to cut up an old junk prop,..??

Re: Ayuh,... Built a new Tool yesterday,...

are you using a rifle stock as a pot holder?

Re: Ayuh,... Built a new Tool yesterday,...

are you using a rifle stock as a pot holder?

Ayuh,.... a couple of them,.... The 1 on the rightside window frame is mounted to a aluminum angle bracket,...
The 1 holding the Prop pot is attached to 2 heavy door hinges welded together back to back, as a double hinge, it moves all around the window...

The pot the spiderplant is in is an ole coleman metal water cooler...
There's also my grandmother's old teakettle with a plant in it, an old 5qt. potato pan, a small 1/2 a beer keg,+ a Real Silver teapot I dug outa a dumpster...
Old chains, downrigger cables,+ Bigazz fish hooks hold most of it together...

Yo Bond-0 . . .
This is the most words I've ever seen you post in one thread

I know you are a man of brief answers . . . hahaha. But your responses are always to the point!

Every time I see your "Ayuh" in your posts I always wonder is this what a pirate says? Like (phonetically) eye eye Captain!

Is it like what Popeye says?

I'm not being sarcastic here, I'm just trying to figure out what it means.

Phonetically, is it like a long sounding IIII or eye?

Just wondering

He's been asked this before and suggested we Google it, so I did. In short, it means "yes", but I kinda like the pirate thing, mixed in with a little mystery!

I know I've posted it before but I prefer this definition from the urban dictionary.
ayuh: A bastardized combination of "ah" and "yeah" commonly used by old cronies from Maine who have nothing better to do than whittle wood in front of a convenience store waiting to be written into a Stephen King novel.

Old Fart 1: Your wife tongue your crack last night, Jessep?

Old Fart 2: Ayuh.

See I told ya his answers were short but concise and to the point.

He said "Google it"

So I did:
http://www.theheartofnewengland.com/lifeinnewengland/Essays/accents.html

Check the link within the above, which plays the actual accent too.
You can hear Bond-O talking

I grew up in Boston, it took me years losing the not pronouncing my "R" at the end of my sentences. Like saying Wiya for wire.

I hated living in NY and sounding like a Kennedy to everyone.

Pahk the cah in Havahd Yahd

When ever we go back to the Boston area to visit friends and relatives their accents hurt our eyaha's and we can't wait to get owta thya.

One of the funniest episodes on Sat Night Live was the one with Ben Afleck and Jimmy Fallon and Rachel Dratch. Where Ben was getting married and they all spoke in this heavy Boston accent . . . it was Wicked funny!

Sorry to hijack this thread away from Bond-O's orginal post!

Re: Ayuh,...

He said "Google it"........So I did...

That sight says in part, "....It?s generally difficult, unless you?re trained in the field, to tell if someone is from Maine, New Hampshire or Vermont ? we all tend to sound alike in the tri-state area. The accent of the Maine coast is very similar to the accent of the deep New Hampshire woods.

Massachusetts, however, has a slightly different variety of the New England
accent ? I dare say, it?s partially influenced by the typical New York accent.
People from Connecticut and Rhode Island, though located in what is
geographically New England, do not speak with a New England accent ? it?s
actually more of a New York accent...."

I don't know if that writer has actually spent much time visiting around New England! Probably not or maybe he's not native?

I traveled about New England a lot when I was younger. And I live in the heart of Northern Vermont, was raised in NH, spent a lot of time in Maine, have a bunch of relatives in the Boston area as well as western NH, an old family friend from Rhode Island, and customers from Long Island and NYC. The writer's accent descriptor is a little off.

New England, for such a small place, has very very distinct regional accents, and some of us are quite proud of that There's no way a Mainer sounds anything like a Vermonter or a 'Hampshirite. A Vermonter's dropped "r" in the keow bahn is nothing like the Boston-esque "Pahk the Cah." And a New Hampshire swamp native telling his buddies where he's going hunting can't be spelled with only 26 letters or merely droppin' a "g."

But it was a fun read nevertheless.

I think what everyone is failing to consider here is that those of us way up here in the mountains of New York along the Canadian border have our own accent, which is not the same as VT, NH, ME, MA, or NYC. Stop in sometime, we'll have a chat. Bring your boat, we got lots of places for those too.

I really dig the planter man.

The prop hub-cum-output shaft tool is pretty slick too.
I bet one of those new style plastic hubs WOULD work too, but they are much more slippery than the rubber kind you have, espescially with greased hands.......

Ayuh,.... While I might Vote here,+ get my mail here,...
(Btw, It's the North Country,.. You're an Upstater, from downstate)

I'll Always be the Maineiac I was born.....

I sure am Glad I posted a thread about My New Tool,.....
It's really given Us a chance to air out the "Ayuh",+ my Plant Pot Hangers....

Phonetically,.. It's a very Long "A",+ short yuh....
You're all Lucky I'm typing challanged, typin' with a single digit,...
Otherwise,... It'd be,.. Ayuh,... That's Wicked Bad,... at the begining of Every post.......
This is My favorite google explanation,...

I feel I have to address what may be the two most quintessential words in the Northern New England repertoire. They are, of course, "ayuh" and "wicked."

Now, it really irks us when you get these people "from away," like down to New Jersey, who try and imitate these words and their uses. It just don?t work!!

The word "ayuh" -- though it may seem at first to have a positive connotation -- may in fact be used both positively and negatively. It has extremely subtle undertones which, if you?re not native, you can never hope to master. Only a native New Englander can discern exactly how the speaker intends it by the subtleties of intonation. Something which confuses people from away some wicked.

The other word "wicked" ? in addition to its normal meaning of bad/evil (same meaning as in other parts of the English speaking world) in New England has an added attraction. It is essentially an intensifier and may be used, like "ayuh," in a positive or a negative way or even a fairly neutral matter-of-fact way?again, depending on the situation at hand. To complicate matters even more, the word that ?wicked? intensifies is frequently omitted!
