Well got something done, finally. Sheared a scalp wheel off of my Craftsman lawn tractor yesterday and found a replacement at the big box L. It came off 4 times before I smartened up and looked closer at it and realized the shoulder bolt didn't leave enough room for the wheel to spin, my first one replaced. 1/8" shave off of the wheel with the good ole Dremmel and a little Loctite and mowed the lawn after going to the 3 nephews birthday party. Got the 2 acres done just in time as the rain started.

Tbone sounds like you're having fun demoing the camper. Tearing things apart is always fun. Enjoy!

More great tool finds today. A bunch more sockets. Another sabina Ohio mac wrench. Some other assorted tools, another ratchet, nice old torque wrench. A Klein binding wire reel, and the find of the decade. A antique starrett 2-3 inch micrometer, in original box, looks to be almost unused. I would bet it's from the 1920s-1930s. I have never seen another starrett in factory box. To add to the you suck factor, I payed $10... :msp_w00t: The guy said "its not digital, does $10 sound alright?" I know machinists who would give their right nut for this.

Also, when the guy heard I work on saws, he said to leave him my number. He is tired of the $75 an hour shop rate, and says he has a ton of saw and mower work. This should pay for the tools.

Did you tell him you're rate is only $74/hr:hmm3grin2orange: Nice. Tools that pay dividends.

Tools should pay dividends or at least pay for themselves. Mine make more money than I could earn working for someone else using their tools.

My landlords dad used to steal them all the time.

Always had to plant extras. Miss that Ol Phart. Lol

No amount of rain in the forecast either so may have to water every night for a while. I don`t want the soil to dry out cause its harder then to get the water to sink in far enough for the roots to grow down deep enough.

I put old carpet down the rows and between the plants

Rain gets in. Water stays longer. Less weeding.

End of year, put carpet in pile when you till.

Reuse next year.

And no muddy boots.

Lord I'm lazy......
