36 pages to backread? Nope. I hope all is well. Back from Knob Creek, what a great time. Me, Dad, and my boy. Tons of shooting, good to see old friends, made new friends, and many memories.

@dukeboy_318 - your dad's name Alan?

Lost interest in the day. Thats 2 in a row.cool and rainy so im just not interested.
 
So I cut two pieces of aluminum like this. One for each door. Then put a good bead of black RTV on the sealing surface. Then I placed part on an downward angle to the rear. Then screwed them in with three self tapping screws. I think this will fix issue

So went out for a while, got the 50 merc inside storage building. Now i can lift intake off and see if i can get those pesky valves moving.
 
Rain stopped... so stupid me pulls out the powers washer and scrapes chisels and blasts the deck. It had that decksaver stuff on it and was off in sheets.

Now if it ever dries out I'll hit the bad spots with a belt sander and get a good coat of stain down.

Still need to sand the rails. One side needs to be pulled off and rebuilt

Symons cone crusher head. In operation it has a replaceable liner over it. When the plant operator has his head up his rectal canal and doesn't check them the liner often fails. Liner contacts that raised surface there at the bottom of the cone and has a has a huge nut on the shaft that protrudes through that hole in the top there, the cavity between the liner and head is filled with epoxy backing material after assembly. I could hear the liner ringin' like a little bicycle bell whenever the crusher was empty. Not my plant, not gonna worry about it. Rock heads finally caught on to it. They took it apart found big crack in liner and no backing material behind it. They got the liner off and found that the sealing surface there at the bottom was no longer usable :BangHead: for the next liner. Poured the backing material in after they had the new liner on and it ran right out the bottom :rofl:. They had a template for checking that lip hanging on the wall of the shop and never touched it :lol:. "Go get Alex. He can weld it back up. Asphalt plant has nothing going." 2 days it took me to build that lip up to where it would work. Stinger get so hot I had a bucket of water to drop it in to cool it off :lol:.
Folks always panic when they see us drop stinger in the bucket of water! It is just so much easier than wearing two gloves on one hand.

Sounds like way too much fun. You’ll probably need to spread it out over a couple weeks. :D

Haha. Yeah really.

Figure the weather will mostly decide for me.

I do need to get firepit beta version 1.0 going.

@halifaxhops for those times you need to become more efficient..."hoptimized"
