Rode up to URE today with a friend. The new tires felt much better on the dirt roads than the original tires.

Taught daughter how to use a pressure washer today. Turns out she enjoys it. Good news for me!

Side note, been using this HF Portland 1750 PSI unit for a few chores now. Its a great deal for what it is; being 110v and $100 it's great for small jobs, AL siding (up close), washing cars, engine bays etc. But cement and things needing real pressure for anything more than a laser point is very time consuming.

I have the Bauer 2300 and it's been great.

Benefit of living close to Pinehurst...people don't know how to maintain small engines or care to learn! Used to work with a guy that lived just outside of Ballantyne that would pick up weed eaters, push mowers & blowers for cheap & flip them after a quick cleaning of the carb! He always said if they couldn't get them to start after 1-2 pulls they'd list them on CL and they were only a couple of years old.

9-10 Years ago I walked into an antiques/junk store and in the corner was the power head of a Stihl Kombi industrial grade trimmer, not the residential one. Guy said it was good for parts only and I could have it.

Took it home cleaned the carb, pulled on the cord for about 20 min and it fired up. It’s been a 2 pull trimmer for me ever since. Bought a string trimmer and hedge trimmer attachment for it.

Is it me, or do the body panels always look different colors? All of them that I see are like that.

I haven't noticed; only seen one up close. I don't know what they sell for, but they didn't put much money in the bodies. A kid in a sheet metal shop could make that. My first thought was the Winged Dirt Track cars. Ugliest POS produced! :flipoff:
 
So long NWS, we'll see ya next time.

Did you see the fight? The Rumble lasted longer than any others I've seen.

I saw it on the pit box tv. Typical Busch as far as driving goes. Rubbin is racing, but he spun Stenhouse on purpose IMO.

Naw, modern Pine Wood Derby car a Cub Scout built. Runs the same. Better down hill when it's out of juice.
 
I couldn't stand looking at my 4 wheeler anymore since the meth heads decided it needed a paint job while they had it l, and couldn't stomach the price of new plastics. Couple cans of flat paint and I think it looks decent, at least it isn't a constant reminder of thieves anymore.

I spent last week in little Washington laying my grandpa to rest. I took my boys down to the river and ate some bill's hot dogs, just like my grandpa always did with us. What a great day.

My youngest told me I needed to buy us a boat, I had to explain to him that we're too poor for all that. Lol
