Slow day at work so the boss has me do an oil change on his lady's car.  Trying to put the plug back in the alu oil pan I discover it is stripped. 

Oh shit....

   In my tote are every spare plug we have fron junk engines so I start trying them until one rides in correctly and seals. 

  Both from the Chevrolet family but different source countries so same thread but just a hair bigger to bite in the damaged pan.

   We are relieved to have resolved that so easily.

   Two years of carrying them around finally paid out.

I love it when things work out like that!
You carry a special tool or some handy helper you've made for years - then finally comes the time you can use it. So satisfying!

I Fixed an oscillating fan, just a quick 10 min job but I always like when my tools get called into action no matter how small the task.

Wow, soybean harvest?!! Most guys have only begun chopping silage! Seems late this year. I would think here by mid October the combines will start rolling.

Have to ask Mandy what she thinks since she's in the fields every day.

I was in the shop all day until a neighbor called and said there was a fire in the ag fields across the road. Fourth or fifth fire in the last 3 weeks where the wheat or some grain was growing. The wind pushed it through the stubble very quickly and into the sagebrush. I drove down to the end of the road where the neighbors were gathered watching it. One neighbor was sitting on his big front end loader and said he was ready to cross the road and drive through the barbed wire fence and making a fire break if it started coming our way. I didn't think to take a pic until it was getting under control.

I hear soybean farmers are taking a big hit with the tariff war with China. Hopefully it's not affecting you much, SK.

I began getting a headstart on my Halloween costume, I have found that a good scare is noteworthy and I get more trick or treaters than I might otherwise.

 
I made this from some thin sheet metal so wihile it's super flimsy and could bend like nothing ( it has the right look and is strong enough for a one time costume use ), it's still a thin piece of metal so I made sure there's not one single sharp edge.

I don't chase kids or anything, but I just like to have a really scary costume,
I probably go a bit overboard with the details many won't notice to just hand out candy, but thats how I am.
Too many people buy store bought costumes that are lame, and too many kids wear Spiderman and princess costumes.
It seems Halloween is becoming a bit too commercial and all the scare factor is fading away, so I always like to go all out with my costume.
