A little progress on the fence now. Trips out of town for supplies, mail order stuff arriving without the nuts & bolts. It's just the usual pace working in a small town, without the things available locally, makes it more interesting.

It's to the point now that I would have to drive an hour and a half and climb over Lost Trail Pass's 7,000' to buy whitey-tighties.

Lewis and Clark got lost up there. That could be me.

If you got lost on the way home, at least you would be wearing clean underwear!

Wish we had a high pass between us and civilization! Went to Tractor Supply in Edgewood last week to get some parts for a chipper. Shelly and I tried to social distance (she has underlying medical conditions), but it was difficult. I politely asked an 80 something man to wait while we got out of his way, but he mumbled something about "we need to take a chill pill" (with possibly COVID laced sputum coming out of his mouth) while walking up closer to us. I've never hit an 80+ year old man, but that time I was tempted! I'm not the strongest guy, but I figure I could take him! But a Sheriff's deputy, who happens to be a friend of Shelly's, told us later that would have been battery. And I was thinking it would only be assault! Oh well! (Seriously, I haven't been in a physical fight since Junior High, and I like to think I wouldn't start one, but that guy... )

As much as practical, we're trying to pretend there is a high pass between us and "civilization" and more or less live like a couple would in the 19th century. Amazon is the new Sears Catalog!

after being unable to get on line for the last 2-3 months due to the computer dying (along with still using snail-line phone hook-up the last 20+ years = yes. I am cheap) Have now had to finally move into this century with cable , Now the 'new' hassle is learning this Windows10 stuff and how it works probably about the time I get this figured out, they will have their next system replacing it........................

Had to make 2 new gate latches, the offset for the posts was wrong. Gates need 2" in the opening from the gate edge to the adjacent post to mount a "store bought" gate latch. With the 4' distance between posts, I had only 1.5" left over after hanging the gate. Made these out of a hinge loop, 5/8" bolt & 1/8" steel plate. PITA, but they work well enough.



Also, worked on a frame for a composting drum for the garden. I had a couple of old pallets the milling machine came attached to, so they were taken apart & reworked into a frame for the 55 gallon drum. Had some left-over casters & set the drum to rotate on them. I need to cut the access hatch for the door, but the frame will sit in an opening we have already near the house & a wheel barrow will fit under the drum once compost is made. Should work OK for simple stuff from the kitchen (coffee grounds, vegetable trimmings, weeds, etc.).



The work never ends...

Can't wait to get back to my trailer, Here are three things i tinkered with yesterday,
First two are two of three Electric wheelchairs acquired this year, I upgraded batteries and lost a brother in law
First one was loaded, with option's I did not know existed; and it had them all, but there all worn out.
This is to be my second welding cart.

Yesterday I was looking for an easy way to make a Outboard stand for my 20 hp,
don't know when but this one may be able to go get it, when i am done.
With the scissor, and three other lifting devices it may move and lift it; I sure can't and hate to ask for help.

I guess My wife found something on my desktop about a Motor stand
Because she told me to go work on it yesterday.
I thought about it as I was tinkering and found some wheels in a wet cardboard box next to my old junker, them look pretty good after they got rained on, but there sure close to her station wagon and it hauls stuff off And I didnt leave them there.

So the wheel's the base and some of the tool / thing's I have made if the picture order is
wrong please press the red button.
