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.

Final scrounge and cleanup for this year was two 70ft silver maple leaning over the house
They are goose tracks... the skid marks happened while landing and the prints while walking!
If you were around here in NY you'd have a lynch mob after you! Local social media is abuzz with people telling other people not to burn anything... big forest fires happening!
Here's some pics of my engine. It's a World Castings small block bored to 4.250" with a 4" stroke. That's right, it's a 454" small block. 
Edit...Ohio Crankshaft did all the machine work and I assembled it.

It actually rained the night before and drizzling the day of the burn. Otherwise I would have waited.
May be Someclown but I ain't no fool
Hate getting caught in these rush hour traffic jams.
Finally got my reloading bench reasonably clean. I'm going to load up some .25-06 for my son to use this year. 
The nice thing about reloading is being able to back the loads down a bit to reduce the recoil a little for less experienced shooters.

My loading bench hasn't been that clean in a long time!
I was also loading some 25-06 today, and I back mine down a bit because I'm old! They are also a bit more accurate in my rifle!
The Moreton Bay Fig. Cowdad has a boat in a marina in Moreton Bay, I was up there just a few months ago.
My '79 in '86. Fond memories
The only thing I rebuilt on it was the rear chassis and replaced the cam.
Looks really nice. Where are you finding large rifle primers? I haven't seen them anywhere. That said, I haven't called Recobs in Baraboo.
