So my dad was just outside weed eating, and missed the biggest hornet nest I've seen in my life by an inch or so. You can see how close it was...



So yeah, It'll be a late night full of fire for us!

I use google photos, it comes with any good phone nowadays

Haha, not quite sure what that means but I hardly think it was intended as a compliment.

Yeah, I do the same. And I find that you can import videos from Google Photos right into YouTube, which is also really handy.

Yes! I was hoping you'd put AK's "entry" in the header Mighty... Hilarious!

Thats terrifying. Time for the gasoline filled super soaker.

Oh yes! No gasoline was used, but we went, got the propane tank with a torch on it, and made their little hut a living hell. Crazy thing is, when we got done, they came back! So we decided to use a whole can of Yellow Jacket killer and that did the trick. I'm glad to see them gone, they kept coming into the shop and I couldn't get any work done without hornets in my face.

Here's what they do...

@MightyRaze, I've been looking through the 2019 Build-off threads, and I've noticed a couple small things that could be fixed concerning other members... Nothing serious at all, and I doubt they really care but I was just wondering if you wanted to know...

PM me.

Aw man. A piece of history just got scrapped. I saw a Snapper RER (looked older than the Comet) at the scrap yard yesterday and I've never seen one like it, it had a horizontal shaft Briggs, a belt driven rear end instead of a pulley and clutch, it seemed to have a 46" deck, it had those old skinny Snapper tires and handle bars, looked like it came from the 50s. Unfortunately when we went to pick it up this morning it had already been scrapped. I can't even find one that looks like online.

Had an idea to make a hitch mounted winch since I may be hauling a shed this weekend. Almost finished it up and was working with the wiring (removed the wireless receiver) when I got a nosebleed which promptly got onto everything in the solenoid box.

Guess a little bit of me will forever live on with it.

Now we know where to find your DNA should we need it.

That's how stuff becomes haunted you know!

I guess it's that time of month

Ya know this guy drives me crazy, but I watch him sometimes because he knows a lot about what he's doing, but he had a really good idea about how to make a locking and unlocking differential. Skip to 8:28 in the video to see it.

I dig it...  Not sure how I feel about the locker.  It's pretty different though.

Haha, I like him. He's funny. When he says "carburetor", it sounds like someone here saying it, "carbatraitor."

But yeah, not a bad idea there.

Made a good deal tonight, finally got me a vertical shaft Magnum!!







Nice complete M18. Needs starter work but I have the parts to get it fixed again so it's not a big deal. Pretty excited to get 'er going!

The fella also threw in a neat set of four bolt wheels and a couple random parts, which it pretty cool! I'm quite happy all around!

Awesome find! So it's a vertical but it has mounts for a horizontal mount cast into the block?

Thanks! Yeah it's just the same block they use for the horizontal shaft engines.

SO.... you thinking of putting that thing in MTD?

Haha, no no, not in the MTD. I'm not exactly sure what I'll do with it yet, but I'm sure I can find something!

Hey, if you don't know what those tires are for yet then you can send 'em down my way...

I'm afraid not! Haha.

Over our house right now...



As I write this I'm watching the daily cloud to ground lightning and the rain approach very very slowly.

Stinkin rain... really puts a damper on things.

Pulled the radiator out of my truck... gona swap in another one for temporary. Decided I was gona get a Made in USA radiator for it. Im not sure how my wallet will feel about that. $500-800 for a direct fit unit.

Did you ever show your truck off on the forum Bealy?

The Daily Driver Thread I think...
