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

Morning guys.
I'm planning to get my welder wired back up tonight.
I'm starting to think the tungsten I ordered isn't going to arrive......

In other news, the handle on my Chinese deadblow hammer bent in five minutes of use.....
Not buying another. I am making a few rock maple mallets with wire wrapped handles with a leather cover. No breaking those with a handle strike. Make them for under $1 a piece too.... Did I even mention how cheap I am? (I might be almost as cheap as Ron or robin... LOL)

 

[BigDaddyR]

Well fellas. I got saws to last me a good two to three years now....I'll give you a hint, the one on the left is the smallest saw I got yesterday and the one on the right is the largest saw.

John and jimmy, no guessing allowed.

No idea but good for you. Lot's of fun to be had. That big one looks like the size of the head off a motorcycle.

A good excuse to slack:msp_thumbsup:

I don't think John needs an excuse ......

Morning peeps. Figured I'd speak a little foreign language this morning.

It really does remind me of my neighbour's bike. 1956 ajs/matchless 650 twin two stroke. Inline two cylinder, not vtwin. I drool over it every time I mow his lawn. The whole thing was rebuilt to factory condition with all NOS parts. It only has 3 miles on the clock from a ride around the block to insure it worked perfectly. The rings haven't even seated yet....

Back in the day, they actually banned British bikes from one American motorcycle race.The reason was that the matchless 650 twin would destroy any Harly or Indian on the road. They were far lighter, and far more powerful. Both straightline and in the corners the Americans wouldn't stand a chance....

Edit: turns out they were actually 4 stroke.... I could have sworn they were two stroke.Turns out just the earlier ajs bikes were.

Off I go to train the young un to mow the field and to tackle the wood pile full of spididers in the daylight where I can see the suckers. May take my carb cleaner or wd-40 with me. You know, kill as you go. Check in later with the slaughter update.

Hey LP , go for the Tatra , when you get tired of it give me a call LOL

With a Gamma Goat ya get more "Go Anywhere"

And you can tow a howitzer. But not a huge one.

You can also go with an American Oshkosh. An ex crash rescue rig.

2 1/2 a lot cheaper. A friend has a Vietnam era Gun Truck in his back yard.

Never see any Goats for sale up here , I think they had some sort of export protection , I can find Unimogs easier than I can find Cnd mil trucks LOL
The only thing holding me back from buying one is $$$$

 

[dancan]

So I'm out for a bit checkin out a few yad sails , I find a nice size , made in the US cats paw for 50 cents and a nice pair of extra large old tin snips for a but ........... Then it all went bad , the fellow sellin seas that I'm wearin muh Stihl ball cap and then chews muh ear for 20 minutes to tell me how bad the Stihl dealers are (That don't exist anymore mind you) and how he went to HD and got the best deal ever on an Eecoos with a big 16" blade and how much better it was than any saw out there :crazy1:
He musta been drinkin too much of the Eecoos Geritol .

In So Cal a lot of Unimogs were Ex Crash Rescue out of Mexico.

I was in one with a camper by Westphalia. You know. The ones that did VW campers. Awesome. Like a motel room on a great offroad chassis.

Goats are about as far as you can go off road wise and be street legal.

But like early Unimogs, repowering can help. The Unimogs before MB bought them were real underpowered for the road.

For non road use. Weasel. And repowering helps there too. But WOW. Swamps and all.
