Dave1291 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Woot, 60-70's this week! Rain coming in next weekend. FINALLY catchin a break. The following week could turn to garbage in a heartbeat. We'll see but I'm gonna make the best of this week. My lil garage system might just get a work out since it sits out there covered up most of the year. Picked up a new YamaHA receiver a couple years ago, tied in a pair of KG-4.5's and some cheapo cd player. Fills that outdoor vib I need when I'm puttin around. Have to tear this Agri-Fab spreader apart and fix someone's cost cutting idea, which turned into an epic fail. Just put 4 small bolts w/a washers and nuts instead of trying to melt the plastic tub together. $150 worth of junk trying to spread a grocery bag full of Scott's "new and improved" fertilizer that cost me $40. Change is good said no intelligent man w/half a brain ever. Prolly take me a week to do and then break after I fix it. The new "normal." 😂 The "machine" is workin though. ALL disposable now. Just buy a new one cause I already know it'll break when I'm done. Gotta feed the machine. 😂 Then again, I could just take the day off and chill. Might have to water the new yard sign that popped up in my front yard. Local library tax renewal sighn. Politics and yard signs? I swear the last time I voted was for a real estate agent. Carry on! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezin' Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 64 here. And still ride a motorcycle virtually daily. 'Cause of my job (Harley tech) many belong to other people. When I cannot handle the 800 pound beast I'll make it even heavier...with a sidecar. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Good morning! since my weedeaters died on me, I decided to do autopsies. I learned some time back... to dissect things carefully as to not do more damage... just in case "it" can be fixed... One has a frozen bearing. The housing is plastic... so, it wallowed out the other machine fell victim to one of the first two things you check when working on electrical things... Is it plugged in? Is it turned on? ... a loose spade connector to the motor. Arched badly while it was falling off. Cleaned it up and crimped it on. now, I have work to do...that will teach me 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I used one before. They're nice. the belt tensioner/brake can be troublesome... with some models/manufacturers and it's a wee big for my needs. I have a lot of little things to cut around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 @grasshopper Gotta keep that golf swing in shape w/that whacker. Set your bar high. First swing just yell FORE then start counting your swings. Figure out what par is then you can make some imaginary holes to play right there in your yard. Putt-Putt with a twist. "Goin golfin honey! Really? Yup, see ya in a bit. It won't take them long to leave you alone. Don't forget your Stetson. Sun's brutal "they" say. 🌵 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 @grasshopper find a cheap A/C for the dog house and ur set. Crawl in, close the doors quick, crank it up, flop and grab a cold one outta the cooler. Just like the country club. Just pray no one locks you in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
