Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX GTG (Next GTG 08/27/2016 ) Fort Scott, KS

[RVALUE]

OK, here is the deal:

As many of you are aware, I have had an 'issue' arise over one of my buildings, and a Rail Road. After 13 years, we had an onsite meeting at 5:30 this evening. It could have gone very poorly, and resulted in costs to me in the $ 200K plus range. Instead it went apparently very well, and is inline with what I wanted in 2001.

So this has been a large cloud over me for a while, and though it is not "official" it appears to be favorable.

So it will be 'get ready for a GTG' again.

Oh, and I still need to round up some coin, but at least I'm not sued to death.

 

[RVALUE]

But while I waited ALL Day, I put a carb on a 357, that has a high adjustment screw, so now I have 2 running top handles. Sharpened a few chains, and ........



But I couldn't get a 2100 to run. I don't have enough 'ummmph..'

Have at least two to get out of the sky tomorrow. Had to trade one log, a 30 inch sweetgum, to the stihl dealer for a new tank and trigger for a 346. Installed.

Have to beat the rain....

Glad the railroad magnates granted you a reprieve Dan, sounded like quite the sore trial. Also glad you have some runners……:feel_good:

After the lawn mower......

OK,I need the model,type and code #'s off of the engine if it is a B&S. I probabley have carb kit for it. Twin or single cylinder. Do you need anything for the deck,blades,quills,etc. I can buy this stuff wholesale.

 

[RVALUE]

She would be a single cylinder, dunno about the numbers, haven't been over lately. It is a stuck float, or similar. Maybe I can find a number on it. It would be a 2006 zero turn , Craftsman, zts 7500 ?

 

[RVALUE]

I can disconnect the fuel pump, and make it run. Then put the fuel pump on and gas Pours out of the carb . A lot of gas. Then it floods out.

I know you guys don't have any faith in my mechanic abilities, (justifiably so,) but I can make it run a few seconds. I put a needle valve in the line hoping to let the sea foam fix it, but so far have been unsuccessful.


I need to get back over there and mow again. The wonderful electric department had left the yard full of limbs last time.

This year it won't be as pristine as before. And I have to do a bit of cleaning..... We should get a bit of rain this Friday, and that should help.

 

[RVALUE]

Finally.....



Sent from my held.

 

[RVALUE]

Shinny took down at least a 48 incher today. Took 5 minutes....

Charity Cut Update. Still Sept 21st. Lunch will be provided, hope everyone likes Chili. I will have bottled water on site but would recommend bringing snacks. We will meet on site. I will be there at 7:00am. If anybody did not get directions please PM me. (Provided the AS site doesn't get hacked again. I couldn't get on all day today.:msp_angry For anybody needing a motel, thewre is a Super 8 in Nixa. About 5 miles from the cut site. I plan on having some signs at the major intersections that will be 2X3 foot plywood with only a yellow arrow pointing the way. Cobey and Hedgerow have my number if anybody gets lost or needs directions.
Again, thanks everybody for the help.

I'm glad you'll be there at 7. I hate to miss that cool morning cuttin' time. I'll be there with my two boys as well. They're still young (8 and 11) and will probably be in the way more than anything, but I think it's important for them to experience the reality of "practicing what you preach" when it comes to helping others.

I'll have a truck load of old, junky, partially dis-assembled, mostly non-running, dirty, smelly "vintage" saws if you know anyone who might want something like that. And I do mean a TRUCK LOAD.

Also bringing a "door prize" saw and some give away stuff to make it a bit more fun for those who are afflicted with CAD.

Are you going to bring a load to Jasper? I liked that bunch I got off of you last year.
