Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

[Cantdog]

Gave up dreaming a week or so ago.......been working 56 hrs/wk for the last 4 weeks.....good to be busy again but it's making it difficult to keep up on the regular stuff....Wednesday evening dropped the splitter off the tractor and put the tiller on......was greasing the tractor and tiller..ran out of grease....not more in the shop either....was pondering this issue when the idle started to go bad on the tractor....and it ran out of fuel before I could shut it down.....had a can of diesel but of course then had to bleed the system to get it running again... by then it was beer thirty....no tilling Wednesday... Last night got a new case of grease...loaded the tractor up on the trailer and went up to Hoss's to pay his board by tilling up the lady's garden...nice spot about 30 X 60...been working it the last 5 yrs...kicked up one potato sized rock last night....only rock I saw...went in Hoss's pasture and turned last yrs pile of manure.....tonight will have to forward a portion of that out to the garden and till that in.....THEN I can bring the tractor home and till my garden.....after I mow the lawn...after I change the oil and blade on the lawn mower...after I work a full day tomorrow....

There is a light at the end of the tunnel....If I have done the monetary calculations correctly.......two weeks from today I should have made enough off this job to order that shiny new 2013 fuel injected Mercruiser and pay for it outright as well as meet all usual home/business expenses....rather work like hell for a while now rather than be dunned by a payment for the next three yrs...especially in this "take the money and run" economy.......never know what it will be like in three months ..let alone three yrs.....haven't touched a saw in a couple weeks....other than to test run three clients Hooskis before trading them back to their owners for $$$$...yeah, I'm ZZZZlack.....lot going on this summer......and it ain't even summer yet!!!!

Hey Robin , you up here ?
I got passed by a Suub 2.3t towing a popup yesterday LOL

Nope.....wish I was.....but don't own a popup or have a hitch on the 9-5......Maine plates??

Funny Swede thing....those 2.3t (with lower case t) are the low pressure turbos.........the 2.3T (with capital T) are the high pressure turbos...=75 more hosses.....

 

[dancan]

Ayup , low pressure , he passed me on a downhill run , I got him going up the next without changing my speed LOL
Pabst worth trying ? I see that the "Commis" has some in stock up here .
No saw work but I looked at my KM55 r that I lent to a friend last summer to take care of my 1 mowing customer :msp_angry:
I made a management decision and bought another KM55 r .............

 

[Scooterbum]

Still have good memories of a couple of 900T's I had. A 87 and an 88. Loved crankin' the boost.

 

[pioneerguy600]

Hmmm , ZZZzzzZZZlakerz must be dreamin' of the latest Husquee and all the work they can get done with it .

I hear it cleans its own sawdust up.....LOL

Yep the 9-5 is a pretty big car (think Impala) for 2.3 of any stripe and then pulling a popup? Of course if he was pulling a popup he probably had all the other camping gear onboard too!!

Papst??? Not my favorite...prefer any Ale over "White Beer".......but better than Boywieser.......

Good luck on the KM55......other not salvageable???? John is pretty good on those whackers.......

[Cantdog]

Yep those were true Saabs........altogether different than the GM platform Saabs that followed from 94 on.......we had a 1992 900 5 spd nonturbo that was a beautiful auto.....230,000 miles.....not a spot of rust....ran perfect....great in snow...handled super on tar....just a true joy........until that white pine fell on it ......blew the windows right out of it.....I drove it out from under the brush pile.....but seating was no longer comfortable.....sad day...it was......

1973 Saab Sonett 3

That one looks kewl

 

[dancan]

The KM55 is probably salvageable but when I factor my time which is limited and parts plus the aggravation .......I'd rather be drinkin' a beer or coffee , I may look at it later .

 

[Cantdog]

That one looks kewl

Yep fiberglass body....same V4 drive platform as the 95/96......almost bought one yrs ago.....way good handlers....power??.....not so much.... though you could get 130HP out of them with some work.....only 1800 lbs......

Off to the woods for the day. I have a lot of cutting to get through this weekend. Then it's back to house work. Next project is turning the kids' big bedroom into two so they can each have their own.
