Stop in for a cup of coffee

Finally! Tires installed and i can call this one done. $1,800 dollar bill. Too many drawn out projects
In my lineup.
Oh well some bucks should come out of it in the end.
On to pulling a wheel bearing off my trailer, see how rough it is.

Heads up TJ tornado like weather is heading up the river to you. Lash everything down that you don't want air borne. The cell just left here heading your way now. Super high winds and very dark.

Not too bad outside. Pretty humid and heat index close to 100°. Perfect weather to bale some hay! Off to a after funeral party this afternoon. Mike Schmitz, a local drag racer passed a couple months ago. They will bury the ashes this afternoon and have a big party after. Just the way Mike would like it.

RIP Mikee!
Man could that guy row a 5 speed.

Weather here has been windy and a few drops. If it decides to get nasty, it will be 7 pm or later.
Just road tested sebring, its still a pos.
Cleared up the noise in front, but back has a grumble while braking.
Gotta pull drums tomorrow i guess. Should have while i was swapping tires.

Got the transfer box to transferring . Driver a happy camper, he can get out of the bottom hoppers back to his own truck. Road trip for micro sprints is out the window. Time I get cleaned up, gassed up and underway drive would put me there in the middle of heat races . It must be Miller Time . Wait, motorcycling in this awful 78* calm wind weather should take place I think.

I'm already gassed up... I never knew that having gas would save me some time....

Ugly spells relief?

Got the laundry inside in the nick of time.
No one likes wet shorts.

Mother bought an old Golden Nugget nickel machine for some unknown reason. Decoration I guess. Those old machines had a rhythm to them, you could feel it in the mechanism. I found it's rhythm one day, that little machine spit nickels all over the kitchen floor . She was pissed. Made me put it all back in the machine

Storms just rolled through here. It was 96* as they started and it’s 70* now.

My friend Russ, Had three mechanical quarter machines he used in his highly illegal mobile casino! They were always breaking down, the suckers that played them were unbelievable! Only one would hit any thing big, the other two I had fixed to not hit large jackpots! They were a marvel of mechanical engineering for sure.

Best 10 bucks I've spent lately. Drill starter for the weedeater.. Stick it in and voila.. beats pulling that cord 5 or 6 times for a cold start..

Where do you stick it?
I assume that is for a specific weed eater?

cheap 4 stroke Craftsman. It is 'electric start capable'. Didn't come with a starter. I was gonna plunk down the 40 or 50 bucks to buy the electric startern but i saw this. Like butter!

The starters must be fairly universal. Says it fits multiple brands (all made by MTD is my guess)

That doodad looks like an abbreviated version of the mechanism that is part of your run of the mill go kart starter.

Typical go kart starter. Long shaft because go kart crank shaft is usually directly in front of the right rear tire. Makes me wonder if the big voltage cordless drills have the beans to crank a kart motor. Hmmmm
