Unfortunately I never had time for the finer things in life. In 1982 I spent 22 days crossing 200 miles of wilderness by backpack and canoe. I had just also bought an YZ 250 and an XS1100 , they took up all my spare time.

I had an early YZ250. First one with reed valve.

I just saw the movie again. Didn't see it when it came out.

Jerry see if you can find anyone going this way and back with a truck. Semi or what ever ? I can load that fridge up for ya !

I have been asking around , seems like all the trucker guys I knew that made that run down the Eastern seaboard and back have retired or quit long haul and gone local. Still a few running central corridor but business sure dropped off between NS and the US these last 5-6 years.

John ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, because I can :)
 
Im going to be restocking my shop with chemicals this weekend, and I need a few suggestions.
For cleaning tools used with bondo, should I go with acetone, lacquer thinner, or toluol?
Any thoughts on using paint stripper on saws before blasting? Is it worth it?
I am planning on getting a few cans of the hardware stores generic version of wd40, some carb cleaner, some liquid wrench, a new (working) oil can and some light machine oil, possibly some brake cleaner, and a needle applicator for my grease gun. Any suggestions on other useful chemicals I have missed?
Also, just to make sure, light machine oil is fine for assembly lube on saws, right?

My woodshop teacher has a neat trick for saving brushes that lazy students let oil based varnish dry on.

He takes a small coffee can, and fills about half full of varsol. He then adds about 2 ounces of lacquer hinner to it, and lets the brushes soak overnight. Takes all the dried out varnish off, and leaves the brushes almost as good as new.
I think I will grab the lacquer thinner next time I am at the hardware store. Any issues storing it long term?
 
Friend of mine growing up was a meen SOB ! He would catch toads and put glue on them,then light them up ! Dang wonder he didn't burn everything up ! They sure would hop fast !
He would also glue firecrackers to them and light it !
MEEN !!

Didn't like toads I guess ?
 
You would know ! :hmm3grin2orange:

Always gave me a nasty headache ! When building models ! Never into sniffing stuff.

Stuff sure burns good !! :hmm3grin2orange:

CA glue is the worst for me. I use it a lot when bowl turning. You can tell right away if you start sanding too soon.... Eyes feel like they are full of acid, sinuses and throat burning, feel like your about to passs out... All from just the fumes. No idea how people can sniff that stuff.... I guess the sanding makes it a lot worse.

One guy in my shop class spent every class behind the lathes sniffing the bottle of turners lacquer.... Might explain why he was one of the least smart people in the school.... That stuff has to kill brain cells.
