Zagray Summer show

[Sparky-(Admin) 20,932]

  Coming up soon! Always a good turnout if the weather holds. Lots to see and easy to blow the whole day there! I’ll be there with these goons as usual 
  @Docwheelhorse @wallfish @Retired Wrencher 

  Always plenty of other Red Square guys there as well.

No problem either way Mike. I picked up a couple of these fans for you and Tony to keep me cool. Let me know if you guys want the little white mini skirts too! LOL

I was gonna bring it too. And sell it back to ya! LOL

 

A wheel bearing hub let the wheel bearing(s) go. Had to grind and limp my way back home today. Normal hour drive took almost 2 hours. No fun doing this procedure on the fly in the driveway. Plus it was hot with the sun beating down. Some of those bolts were tough to get loose and mother nature welded. So the 4 ft bar had to come out. ( Orange EMT bender pipe, lower right ) Impact broke the universal too. But I'd do anything to hang out with @Sparky at an engine show! LOL

That's a fun hobby for a father and son to spend time together. That boy sure has grown up quick and turned into a man.

Wasn't it like only 4-5 years ago he was driving tractors into canopies? LOL

He sure was. He needed that practice… lol

Great weather this morning, and an even greater bunch of guys to hang with!

  An emergency came up and I had to bail out at 11:30am, but managed to snag a few pics earlier. 

 

 

[Sparky-(Admin) 20,932]

Did drop a couple bucks on goodies.

Watch those fuel filters. That style has a tendency to air lock and some of the cheap versions the filter element disintegrates clogging up the carb.

Really! That’s the exact opposite of what they are for 

 Great

It was a good time Mike a lot of banter and a good laugh. Good to see a lot of R/S members there. 

[wallfish 16,721]

My little bit of goodie haul.

Also sold that blue go Kart thingy (pictured above) that was made from adapting a little 2 stroke bicycle engine (donated by @Sparky a couple months ago) to a TSC pedal cart that was bought for my grand kids many years ago. It's fun to drive but a little bit scary as it would easily lift the front tires off the ground when throttling up fast. Real fast steering end to end and a hand brake. It was bought by another old man after I talked him into taking it for a test drive. He came back with a huge smile on his face so we shoehorned it into the back of a RAV4. Hopefully he didn't hurt himself after getting it home and going FWO with it.
