Y'all know I have been shifting around when it comes to throwing sharp pointy things at high speed.  While my finger is better for shooting the recurve, it still hurts enough that I can't shoot as often as I would like.  My instinct shooting is taking a little bit of a hit due to that, … Continue reading Arrow stuff 

Yeah, I'm slackin' on the blog, sorry y'all.   Talkin' 'round the hollar and on job sites, hunting is far worse than I predicted.  Local game warden swears to 75% die-off of white tails this year.  Locals are saying 50% or so.   Bad either way.  Not an annihilation, but pretty daggum devastating to the … Continue reading Its been a week plus?!?!

Made a change or two in how things operate, like the lifting lever. Otherwise, same as the Friday. Took it out for a spin and smmothed some ruts in my dads driveway. Good thing to, as I dropped a bolt on the main strut.  The nut walked right off.  Swapped all the nuts with locking … Continue reading Runnin n scrapin

With aluminum, what works best for me is old castings.  Sometimes though, those are few between.  My solution is to bump up the silica levels with some ground glass.  Clear is best, and I haven't tried anything other than that and brown bottle glass.  I would imagine the colors burn out, but it would be … Continue reading Talkin’ about foundry stuf

A couple of years ago, I was given a 40+ Y.O. lawntractor.  16hp B&S v-twin engine (not original equipment) but the engine had a broken rod in it and didn't run anymore.  (The guy stated specifically, "if'n anyone can do sumpin widdit, iz you. Have fun.".) (I have the engine still and when the shop … Continue reading Repair, re-use, or re-purpose.
