It’s wild to think you can’t find anyone to work on a carb’d outboard.
No you can't. I've been trying to get someone to work on my 85hp Johnson for 2 years now.
 
Found some bluebird eggs in an old fence post. Don't have the @Ron video surveillance on it though.

Man, I’ve wanted to go for a long time. Report back if it’s as epic as the video clips are!!
Will do. Pretty good time so far!

Busy day.
Cut the metal roofing for the chicken coop to length. Tried to use a 24 tooth framing blade that had some use on it so as not to waste a good blade. That was a mistake. It ended up cutting crooked and leaving a rough edge. Finally said F it, if I have to ruin a 60 tooth finishing blade, so be it.
Here’s the 24 toothless

And the 60 tooth with a beautiful cut and not a single damaged tooth and a much nicer finish.

Then it was new toy time. :D

Already had the spot picked out, just needed to clean it up and move some junk. Happened to have a bunch of half height blocks that were perfect for this application.

Looking forward to the extra 8” capacity on width and more horsepower over my old mill. Eventually I’d like to add some hydraulic log handling capabilities to it, but this is a good start for now.

Probably have been better off trying to wrestle a beaver with your thumb in his ass and have him chew through the metal.

So, it was fun. Cheesy and ridiculous as it was, I still had a good time. It's not much of, what i would call, a baseball game. It's more entertainment with a few pitches thrown in there for good measure. They play music the entire time. Even when people are pitching/batting. Dances galore. Even had a nail biter at the very end. It's very kid friendly and honestly, kid focused, IMO. It's fun for a night.

You might be a carpenter after all.....always blame it on the blade :D.

It's the Globetrotters on a baseball diamond. We tried to go when they were in Durham last year but tickets went quick.
