    What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?

    Finally finished up the lawn today after work. The new belt on the 312 worked great. I had to gas up the C-141 to move it to get to the 312. it had just enough left to get back in the garage the last time out. Then a couple pictures for TET, SSS&S, and FEF and I was done for the day.

    What did you do today?

    Today, while road-testing a car in Carlisle I saw a guy mowing with a black-hood. A C-series I think, but I didn't get a good look.

    Considering that’s my last name I’m not sure why I don’t have a collection of them instead of Wheel Horses! Years ago I was at an auction in Pennsylvania and there was an Oliver garden tractor for sale. It was in decent shape and I thought I’d buy it. I remember I had $2000 in my pocket and figured that would be more than enough. Boy was I wrong! It went for more than double that !

    Why did everyone invite the MUSHROOM to their parties? He is a FUNGI.
  18. I finished a 32" wide by 40" tall cabinet. I was asked to make for an 81 year old former professor at our local university. He keeps detailed records (in some cases for way too many years). The cabinet will be to hold his folders for taxes and expenses. The problem is that with his and his wife's health, I doubt that they will be using the cabinet for many months ( before they will need the services of assisted living) but if he finds satisfaction in his new cabinet at his age-more power to them. I purchased 1/2" AC plywood from local lumber yard to find out it's from South America. Some kind of tropical wood no doubt but that stuff stains awful and isn't smooth surfaced. As I mentioned before, since retirement, I don't charge labor for projects I take on. I tell folks to donate whatever the labor was worth to charities. Dt. Bob has insisted on taking me out for breakfast one morning next week--I'll take him up on that. The material for this small project cost over $160! I do have some scraps left over but I'm sure glad I'm not building a new house. I faced the raw plywood edge with wood I was given by a small sawmill. The sawyer called the wood "Tree of Heaven". It has an oakish/ashish looking grain and seems to work pretty good. Missouri Conservation Department considers the tree invasive. I've been using the water based varnish. I used oil based polyurethane for years which could be a little slow to dry and prone to catch dust and seemed to yellow over the years. The water base dries quickly and easy to work with especially when applied in thin coats. In another posting deck stain was discussed and I liked the old oil based stain. The new "safer" stain just doesn't seem to adhere as well.

    When my brother passed away he had a dozen or more canes, unfortunately they were all fixed length and he was about six inches shorter than me. Our church has a medical equipment loan ministry and we collect all kinds of usable equipment and loan it to anyone in the community that needs it. They are under no obligation to return it as long as they need it and there is no charge. Every item is sterilized and wrapped when returned, we have a dishwasher type appliance that will hold a wheel chair. Hospital beds and power wheel chairs have to be cleaned by hand. We have fostered loan ministries in other communities and give them any excess equipment we have accumulated.

    It's amazing how much medical equipment we acquire as we get older!!! I seem to be amassing a cane colection...including a Diamond Willow from the Upper Penninsula in Michigan.

    There is no doubt that Oliver has a following...especially in Minnesota. I was at a tractor show in LaSueur in 2010 that featured Olivers. I will share some pictures from that show. Some of the exhibits were outstanding. A lot of trinkets like Wheel Horse does through the years. Value...when I go out to mow my lawn and move snow they almost start when I look at them...and they are from the mid-60's. That is hard to beat and still looking good cutting grass. Enjoy the pictures. Just to show Wheel Horse was there in force!!

    I agree, I have used this mix over some years and it seems to work, it will separate over time but just needs a good shake to get it back together.
