Road trip today to pick up this 250r. Ended up having some spare time, took some back roads out to where I was headed. Beautiful day.

Awsome pics BarnBoy


Took the Dyna for an almost 400 mile ride today....something I couldn't do without the help of Harley Davidsons Sundowner seat. 2 up riding much more pleasant and much more comfy than the stock seat. It looks ugly and out of place but it's all good

Sometimes I considered adding a grapple to my 3320 but then I get so much done with just a simple set of forks. Load for today, cleaning up a down Pine tree and taking it to the stump dump





I am really only limited by my ability to see with this tractor LOL

More hiking and driving in the Ozarks today.


Overlooking the bend in Big Piney Creek


Overlook on scenic byway 7

Would be a better view in the fall with some color.

I dropped a 3/16" bearing ball on the shop floor...and it disappeared like socks in a dryer.


That maintenance project is on hold now, until the new bearings arrive.

Today I am watching, waiting, wondering. Is this really the way it is now?? I hope not. waiting, watching. WTF are all those ships for? 30,000 troops in DC???? Are we living in biblical times?

[atc007]

We are indeed. Nothing , will ever, be the same .

Watching the inauguration would be whatever.....but watching the media masturbate over all this and zoom in on W french kissing the Obamas and Clintons would make me throw up in my mouth......like finding out your dad is gay.

Ron Paul's following and revolution had legs for a little while but is long dead now. Trumptsers and deplorables and the following will last a lot longer and have an impact ..?we will see

Finished up reading Tool of War. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...99-tool-of-war


Got it at Dollar Tree. Many of their stores have a tiny book selection, but I've been able to find some decent ones. They're a hell of a lot more enjoyable than most television shows on now and for $1, even if I don't like it, it's not a big loss. I did enjoy this one.

Slim pickings at the Harley Davidson dealership in Yuma Arizona.

Talking to the guy at the parts desk.... apparently they are selling like hot cakes.

More hiking in the Ozarks to the Bear Creek waterfalls

Feeling a bit better today.

I have an onan that needs to go from one machine to another. The problem is the good motor only has a short taper not straight shaft.

the donor has a blown motor and spun bearings so crank swap wasn稚 possible
So an attempt at a budget salvage

[plastikosmd]

So I cut off the straight portion of bad crank, drilled to accept the 3/8 bolt that taper crank is tapped for and then bored the taper



Run out is 0.002, next to get a 5” 3/8 fine bolt to hold on the taper and then decide if I cut a secondary key or weld



run out is so good, welding concerns me but hand cutting that keyway on the crank is going to be a pain. It would also be a custom key, straight transitioning to 1/2 moon on high side of taper

Shaft may see some shock loads

Will see

Waiting for the snow thats arriving tonight, wife said i need to goto the grocery store cuz god forbid we don't have milk/bread for a day or whatever....
Lets see, i spent too much $200 on a rear shock that i dont even need but i couldn't pass up a what looks like a low hour shock.
Poured some tailight rubbers but i cant for the life of me figure out how honda got a large rectangle rubber through a half the size square hole...i'll probably try boiling (heat) them maybe so they soften up (they may have been a waist of time).
Also made a new headlight pin mold (much better than my last) planned on doing a run of 100 but the mold failed at or around 50. Actually happy with the result of those though, just wish i could of done more but the 4 part mold was not easy.
Still pissed about the whole "trump" fiasco then i read golightly's (sp) post about govt taking family land in florida..... unbelievable .....jerks (putting that nicely)
Oh theres a recent thread on chinese carbs, these are my 3 china junk ones (shelved) figure i'll melt them down this spring.
Got my new phone- my old phone had 16GB my new has 128GB (should be better)
Kinda really making this post to test loading pics and such.
just ignore the dust and any cat hair
