what did you do today?

[GNAP]

Working for the US gov’t in northern VT, had possible exposure situation, I hate this state, people in general and this f#*king job.

Put a rear tire on one of my gators today.  Ordered it on line yesterday afternoon, came this morning, put it on this afternoon the old way.  Hand held bead breaker, 10 pound sledge and a couple of craftsman vintage tire irons.

Here's my dads restored adjustable. Wide opening version, 10" long.
I painted the handle blue just to have something on there. If I find a suitable vinyl dip in the future the paint will easily come off.

Looks good to go, I love how you kept it's history.
Of course I know you're not planning to use it.
I need every good tool I can get, so I use my grandfather's Snap-on 8" adjustable often.

I saw that video and some others. I'm not changing anything other than cutting back the leads to good insulation adding new lugs and cleaning the inside of the housing. I saw where one guy greased the heck out of the amp selector contacts with Mobil grease. Seems like that would collect dirt and cause more wear. These contacts look good and I'm leaving them alone.

If the insulation is brittle, might consider replacing those 2 runs . What is there, 2ft maybe easy cheep repair, gear grease on the rheostat, typical youtuber. Dielectric grease would be ok to use, not heavy just a wipe down .

Working, though not as usual.  Front door is locked, need to call for access and know what you want before we will let you in.  No random browsing

Selling a lot of soap to folks who are cleaning, phones are quiet, but work still coming in.

No auctions to go to

The electrode lead is at least 20' long and the ground clamp lead is 15' or so. I plan on putting shrink tubing as reinforcement on the leads where they enter the case. I have to take the welder to do a job at my sister's house. I'm afraid her Fiancé is going to want to keep it when he didn't want to keep it when it came out of the barn. So if he doesn't keep it I will spring for new cables and power cord.

Paper work said hour, reality 3. proly an hour if done once before, 1 hour wrenching 2 hour familiarization course

Got lucky cause I notice there was top side and bottom side, before the bolts right on happened

Did spring cleaning stuff today. Blew out both the refrigerator and gas dryer. The underside coils get so clogged with junk, and the lint builds up in the vent piping and cap to cause temp spikes that trip the dryer thermal fuse.
I use CO2, as I can get sufficient pressure, and the 20 pound tank I have lasts a long time. Should have been a hour job, but upon reassembling the dryer piping the one adjustable elbow broke - in two places. Not having a spare and the honey needing the dryer that afternoon, I had to punch and rivet the thing back together so it would pop into the wall. Was a tight squeeze for my svelt figure but finally got it all together and working.

Next weekend is probably the evap set-up on the roof.

LOL to low for those, damn it

Didn't rain today, despite the idiot weatherman calling for a half inch. Got most of the welding wrapped up on the fenders. I sure love fluxcore for burning though rust and paint. Running .045 NR211 at 15V/135A, low and slow. I'm short some sheet steel to fill the gaps at the end. Ordered stake pockets and some other junk to fix it up some more as well. It sounds like I'm going to have at least a month off to fiddle fart around the home place on things...

I finally got the missing front wheel for my daily driver so I could return the one I was using to its rightful bike.
It only took a month so that is quick for here. 

Then we have two trailers for the bikes we use around the yard as utility trailers.  But only one bike with a hitch to move them. The boys love helping when its riding a bike.

So the daddy/son tandem got a reciever hitch installed  under the rear rack .  Now I can haul them both on yard waste or store runs too.

Yeah, its all junk but we like cheap fun.

Strik, how is the virus affecting life in your area.  Are you on lock down, business as usual or somewhere in between?
