Random pic thread.

Bunch of randomness from the last week or so.

Pulled all my tractor implements back from Raleigh. No plans to do anything with them currently on a 1ac lot in CLT...but if you need a big garden, I can help you out. Im planning on getting the runner planter up and running just for something to tinker on.

On the trailer is a disc, 2 blade plow, a complete runner planter setup and a bucket.

Rewired some garage lighting and had a bunch of 4' fluorescent fixtures that needed a home. $30 in a switch and wiring and voila. Lean-to lighting.

Parents' passed through this weekend and stopped to see the girls. While they were leaving, I was dumping some of the wife's pots out that were full of water....and a decent sized copperhead was found right next to the front door. I generally let all snakes live....except for these bastards and subsequently made him past tense. Wife got a few whacks in with the ho as well...

Picked up this jewel the other day. In hindsight a 300 Komatsu probably was not the best way to load it.

Gosh I love these J-trucks.

You could probably part out what's left for some money at FSJA.

Unfortunately the forums and most groups like that wont pay what you can get elsewhere.Most of what left will be E-bay bound,namely the T-176 in it.

What makes me the way I am?
I just can't enjoy a nice post because...reasons and OCD.
 
Im frugal. Great old impact with worn out garbage nicad batteries. Dewalt 18v to dewalt 20v lipo to hobo freight battery adapters. It's embarrassingly large but this thing rips now. Cost, $28 on Amazon for adapters and since I'm so frugal, I already have plenty of the bauer batteries.

Your OCD and my need for details in pitch and span? 😭
My first question was snow load. But I then I remembered it's a pretty decent gamble we don't get any.

Off the rip I can see Amorite covering not appropriately terminated into the fixtures, the fixtures don’t line up, the Armorlite is attached my metal (non insulated) staples. Of course this is residential….
 
Jake has been into vinyl records pretty heavy for a few years now and this was still in the sleeve of a Judas Priest album he recently bought.Based on what vintage concert T's are bringing I'd take a dozen of each.Notice the sizes only goes to XL and the fan club address is in GA,for a British metal band.

Plunder Amazon and ebay. There's no shortage of battery conversion adapters on the cheap.

I did! And got brave and hot wired it to one of my batteries. Worked like a charm for 5 seconds.....and then @jeepinmatt showed up. Now I can't wash the smell off my hands.

Dunno. My fault? Already damaged? Definitely trash now? Yes. It hasn't ran in over 20 years. Time I ditched it. I was rather excited up until it wasn't.
