Jane, you ignorant ****. -
My first starter-generator. Is it loud?

Getting the belt guard aligned is a tricky proposition. There's very little clearance overall so a gain at one spot creates a tight spot somewhere else. Ended up bolting down the guard and running the engine, then tapping around with small rubber mallet until I found the sweet spot where the noises disappeared. Sometimes you just gotta go with what works. -
I got all coked up today ... the evaporator fan wires were brittle and cracked and a short waiting to happen. Unit bearing motors are not meant to be taken apart and this one was hardwired. I was up for the challenge and replaced the cable. Rewired the rest of the cooler while I was at it. I dated this thing around early 50s.

I was expecting to see a chair on the front end with some one from @Pullstart's plow day sitting on it...

Check my oil and air up the fronts is all I gotta do. Pullstart can put on the dual if he wants. I got those front wheel weights you wanna throw them on Dan.

Started some physical therapy today. Started out by turning the ends down on some 5/8" rod in order to make a new tie rod with replaceable ends for my 953. Changed the sediment bulb and gave it an oil change. Next I made a bracket so I can hang dumb bell weights on the front. Finished off by preparing some 7" x 5/8" round plate to use as my dumb bell weights. These weight about 6lbs each. I have enough room to hang 13 of these on the front. The 78lbs should help hold it down.

Just replaced the stator on my 520-HC Vanguard swap because it wasn't charging. One of the stator wires had insulation missing by the flywheel. After replacing, voltage was still not much more than 12 VDC. I replaced the regulator and then it jumped up to 14.03 VDC. I also adjusted the valves. They were between 0.011 and 0.014. Specs are .005. Now it runs great and the tach moves but I don't think it's accurate because of the Vanguard having only 8 poles on the stator.

A String Walks Into A Bar He says, "hey bar keep, I'll have a beer". The bartenders sternly replies, "we don't serve strings here". The string walks away discouraged. He comes in a few days later and tries again, "hey bar keep, I'll take a rye". The bartender, more aggravated replies, "I told you, we don't serve strings here!" The string leaves disappointed. The string figures he will try again a few days later. He walks up to the door of the bar and thinks for a second....This time he ties himself in a loop and messes up his hair. He walks up to the bar and says, "hello bar keep, I'll have a rum and coke". The bartender replies, "hey, aren't you a string?" The string replies, "no, I'm afraid not"

I tried to get a smart car the other day but they sold out too fast. Why? I guess I'm just a bit slow.

The world record for a drum solo is 10 hours and 17 minutes. It’s held by the kid who sat behind me on American Airlines flight 86 from DFW to Paris.

I can only handle 25 letters of the alphabet. I don’t know why.

My favorite memory of that race was the fact that Richard Chidress was not renewing Robby Gordons contract and was too cheap to buy new tires for his team. He used leftover tires which were not even from the same track. Childress's cheapskate move turned out well for Robby Gordon.

We are in Wyoming, visiting my sister. Getting some good entertainment out of one of her cats and our dog. It is a mostly outdoor cat, but seems to enjoy sitting outside of one of the several patio doors in the house to aggrivate the dog. My sister's property is just over 30 acres of ridges and hills. Dog and I found ourselves on the far side of a 20 foot cliff on our walk today. The approach looked like it was going to be an easy down hill into the valley between the next ridge - until we walked up on the top of the cliff. Ended up following the top of the cliff until it shrank into nothing. Walked just under a mile. My Garmin claimed that I decended 120 feet, before climbing back to the house.
