Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

I FORGOT to say that varathane has a specific floor varnish. It is what is used commonly on gym floors and stages. It is more wear resistant, although regular varathane stands up well.

Ah, ok yeah I'm sure it was the "normal" kind I was using.

Anyone run across this before? I’m thinking it’s been like this since right after I put it in 2 years ago . Truck wouldn’t get warm when it was cool out . I’m the only one who drives it so I can say with confidence it’s never been overheated . This was in the 350 that came out of my 72 and going into my other 68 . It’s a Motorad 180 thermostat View attachment 1182441View attachment 1182442

I have seen a few like that back when I wrenched for a living. I have only seen one since the 80's. That was in a Ford 360 truck motor.

Atleast you know his end now. It would've been nice to have him over a smoker though.

Nice carving. I'm not sure that I would like to think of it coming from a "used toilet paper" dispenser though. LOL

Sentimental value.

When do you guys call it quits for a beloved 2 cycle tool? I have a Ryobi SS30 I bought in 2007 and have used it regularly every season since then. Around 2011 I simply did a muff mod and carb tune. It’s been flawless really. I also have a Stihl FS46 I use for brush cutting.

That Ryobi just runs. When it sees some heavy work the vibrations get a bit much which could be a loose hex shaft.

Brings back memories of dad mixing fuel for his race boat.

I have lots of old saws, tool, and equipment laying around that I can't seem to part with. Some of it for sentiment some just because I don't feel like dealing with all the tire kickers to sell it. Really no harm in keeping so long as it's not in the way.

Good memories,

Not bad for me and my brothers lol. Mom sure hated that boat and all the time and money dad dumped into it.

Can't remember if I posted a finished side Pic of the shop. I think it looks a bit out of place with the one window, but I'm surly not buying a new window to match the other one.
Aslo started on the insulation in the floor before I had to leave for work this morning. Should have worn pants. Legs are all itchy now....

Made some progress on the pin oak. Noodled in half with the 590 then I quartered it with the x27. Made putting them on the splitter alot easier.
