Morning guys.
Cleaning today.
If the weather holds out, I might melt down the 15-20# or so of scrap lead I have collected up since my last casting session......
Takes up less space as lead muffins..... LOL

Time for some food....

Morning fellers.
Anybody heard from Mark (sparky) lately? Just wondering how his new truck is doing.

Mornin kids!

Very wet outside

And the wind is really putting the bend in the trees!

Oh yeh,,the handles got HOT !!!
rear handle almost to hot to hold !!
front handlebar quite toasty

I keep one of those going for a guy.....the heater switch is broken.....but broken in the "On" position...first time I tuned it up, it was summer and warm outside and the durn thing got almost to hot to hang onto!!! Definitely a cold weather saw!!!

The 521 has two heat levels.....so easier to control the temp. You'll also find the harder you run the saw the more juice they make, the hotter the handles get....like sawing in a load of tree length hardwood....gets real warm....

One of those would be perfect for the middle of winter "out of firewood in the middle of a snow storm in -40"
cutting I always end up getting stuck with when I visit my uncle.....

Probably not many of them on the coast here.....

Back up and moving again.
The rain may quit around noon ? Could end up with 3" before its done !

Your welcome Adam & Rob ! LOL

Morning John....we're gonna get your rain tomorrow...all day.....be a good day to completely replace the rear brakes and shocks on the Volvo.

l am pulling the drive unit off the boat today and taking it to the dealer to be resealed and pressure tested...getting water intrusion into the gear lube....not good..the drive is only four yrs old....may have toasted the seals under the water pump when the old motor overheated. Never a dull moment.....LOL!!!

Got to find something to do today ! Can't take no more sitting around ! :msp_mad:

That sucks,after all you did to that boat !

That sucks,after all you did to that boat !

Well it wasn't a surprise.....had a tiny bit of water when I changed the lube last yr.......when I put the drive back on the boat after the new engine it had much more....milky looking....but I had no time to fix it as I needed the boat for the wedding so I just drained and flushed it out good and filled it with new lube...that's the biggest reason I brought the boat home right after the wedding. Not that big a deal to fix.....but if left alone it will turn into a BIG deal to fix...LOL!!...Paid $3,000.00 for this Mercruiser drive unit new as the one that came on the boat had a howl in the upper drive.....It had been rebuilt but I don't think the guy that did it had the proper Mrecruiser tools to set it bearing preloads up right....when money allows I plan on taking that drive to the dealer and get it fix properly so I can have a spare for times like this....only 2 C clips a gasket, O-ring and six nuts to R&R.......do it right on the boat ramp...15-20 mins..
