When I was a kid and the Hudson froze solid, I actually went out on them. My dad had a pal who had one. We “sailed” out of Croton-on-Hudson

I think in all my years of owning saws that I have had to only change 2 coils. My 372XP OE had a sporadic coil a few years back that would cause the saw to skip. The other one was a 268 that I turned into a 272XP. That one had a coil that worked when it wanted to. This coil never gave me a problem. I bet this pole saw has less than 10 hours on it.
At Athens there is an island in the river. I believe all the industry that used to moor on the west side is gone and the channel is on the east side. With that the ice is good on the west. It did seem odd to walk on the river though!

I think that day, it was the coldest I have ever been in my life. I dressed like we were going hunting and I was sorely unprepared for the wind. I was amazed how fast they’d go and froze due to it
Yeah! I’ve had that experience! Unfortunately more than once! Out on the river the wind whips up pretty good too even without you moving!
Well, can't say I don't know anymore, unless I flat out forget
Broken skeg.
.Thanks, I was wondering.
Another "Non-Legal" shooter! This is getting absurd! This is NOT a young deer!

If you stare long enough they grow… I always blink a few times to make sure it’s real.
buck like that is one of the reasons I think states with antler restrictions needs to revoke them every so many years. Sure you get more mature buck, but no one can take out the goof balls from the gene pool. Like every 10 years, remove the restriction for 2 years. I'm not a horn hunter to begin with, and I've let many a big unicorn buck walk in the past few years.
They should say 3 point or beams of over 12". The goal is not to shoot young deer, it should NOT be to preserve genetic defects for breeding. If this continues, we will not be able to shoot any deer!
As a side note, I think I should have the logger come in every year! We are seeing a lot more deer since he left so many tops to eat!
I agree 100%.
I had dropped the dial indicator I use for setting teeth on my sawmill blades. Ordered another gauge on scamazon.
The width of the sleeve on the new one is 9.5mm.
The width on the old one is 12.75mm.
I discovered that the old one had an extra sleeve on it to make up the difference. Solution, vise grips, brake fluid and acetone in various manipulations and configurations to release the collar. But there was a collar within the collar that had to come out in order to fit on the new one. Enter an application of force and mass (vise and hammer) to coerce them apart.
Next issue, the old shaft is 16.25mm long.
The new shaft is 28.5mm long.
My solution, to scrounge some o-rings. Now, I fully admit this may not be a text book solution and any machinist out there cringing while reading this is welcome to provide a better solution.
It works for now at that's what matters.

This past summer the CP 2816 4-6-4 steamer made an appearance as part of the "Final Spike" tour of the new CPKC rail system. I do have some pictures of it on display at Union Depot in downtown St. Paul.

Did they drag along the diesel incase it broke?
Sounds great.
My best friend in high-school had a 79, and one of our friends had an 80 or 81, lots of great times. We put a 400 Pontiac in the 79, may have been the first vehicle I ever went over 150 in/on. My old 72 Lemans only had 4:10s, wouldn't dare rev a 400 Pontiac high enough to go that fast with those gears. My 79 Malibu with a built 400 SB(400 crank, 350 rods, and .030 over pistons, with a mild cam) had no problem hitting those speeds.
I'd like to build a later model 2wd blazer up with a 5.3 or 6.0/6.2, haven't modified any of those yet.
Can't wait to see that camaro on the road again.

What the hell are those marks?
Awesome! That's a pretty rowdy cam for a 5.3. She should pull to 7-8k easy if you've got the valve springs for it.
I gotta get my Camaro done also...my wife loves the car. I have a love/hate relationship with it. After spending all day wrenching the last thing I wanna do is wrench more. Gotta pull the trans because I have a pilot bearing that's squeaking with the clutch depressed and the trans in gear. I also want to convert it to Dominator or Terminator ECU from Holley.
Here's my last time slip.
I was in the left lane with DOT road racing tires and a 2015ish Mustang GT on drag radials was in the right lane. We raced at least 4 times that night, I'd reel him in on the top end but could never beat him. I was easy on the launch because I didn't want to splatter the stock 7.5" diff all over the track. Fun times!I'll try to dig up some pics.
