Re: I have been MIA for a bit.

I agree with Jim, it's very nice to hear another friend's voice. Don't be a stranger!

Re: Lets see if we can stir up some traffic - Shop Project time

Nicely done! I have a similar MTD snowblower, and am not clear how a starter defecated and ruined an engine, but... :lol: :lol:

Anyway, great project report. Thanks for trying to stir up some conversation.

Re: My trials and tribulations

Gene,

I'm glad it you're moved in and settled, and nearer family.

We moved a bunch when I was in the Army, but when we bought this little farm I said that I wanted to die here because I was sick of moving. Nearly 30 years later, I still feel the same way-- I want to die here, without making ...

Re: I hope this link works for y’all

thanks, Gene, the welding trick sounds like a good approach. I don't think I've had even close to 50% success with Easy Outs, even drilling the correct sized holes and following the directions to the letter-- maybe I'm just too impatient, don't know, but they usually snap on me.

Last problem I had ...

I hope this link works for y’all

Because this looks brilliant, if it is true and not rigged. I’ve wasted a lot of time and money trying to extract broken bolts and studs with regular extractors. Any thoughts on this?

Re: West Point bans minority clubs of any sort.

I've posted and then deleted replies to this a couple of times already. I am going to put in my 2 cents worth, and maybe leave it.

I attended West Point and graduated in 1979. I'm familiar with how things used to be there, and still have old friends there as instructors or who have kids who ...

Re: New VA sign in

It would seem that the VA is trying to help folks get into the new system. I hope everyone having troubles uses the extra time to get help.

Re: Paul

I’m both amazed and grateful for the fact that some are still eager to put up funds—and especially for Paul for his work, money AND time— when there is so little going on here anymore. I wish there was more conversation, I miss hearing stories and current events. But like with my childhood home, I ...

Re: Looks like a week of 50 degree days.

Wow, nice! We’re supposed to get warmer weather, but for us it looks more like upper 40s to 50s for highs, and still in the 20s for lows. Ok by me, I’m cutting down trees for firewood and 40s are just about perfect.
