No need to ask twice! 

Made short work of the drive then did the pavements up and down hill.

Performed admirably. It was a good shakedown for a brand new home built plow. 

Some details to attend to but very happy with first trial.

Great Pict for a Frontend Friday

Eric.

I didnt get round to making a side load mechanism. It worked fine but definitely needs some way to stop it moving from side to side when plowing.

Also I made that bar to locate in the atachamatic mounting. It works well but needs the catch securing out of the way to stop it fouling when I raide the plow.

Thats about it really. Nothing too serious.

You need to be carefull doing pavements etc, Mick. If someone should slip and hurt themselves, they could hold you liable and sue you. Sad but true.

Time to run another loaf of bread in the bread machine today.

 

Didn't look quite right while it was mixing.  Looked even stranger when it was finished:

 

 

First epic fail I've had out of the bread machine.  Not sure what I miss-measured.

 

Then again, if I knew how I did this, I could do it again for chili bowls!

One of the highlight foods in Cancun was the clam chowder in a bread bowl!  Looks like if you cut that loaf in half, you’d have two perfect bowls!

Played with a program called stop motion the other day.  It is the technology used to create simple lego movies, etc.  it’s like time lapse, but you select when it takes a shot.

Just go back and add an R at the end of most of the syllables and you should be able to read my gibberish pretty easily...

Looks like Chicago speak to me

[Mickwhitt 4,642]

You would really struggle if I lapsed into proper Yorkshire dialect. 

Its harder to write than it is to speak so I might have to do a short video clip to demonstrate. 

I will try to give a suitable retort to Stormins initial comment.

" Am usin it as a snow plow yer tatie, so all't weit niards t' be ont' arse end."

 

[ebinmaine 67,628]

I once had an English friend who was fully capable of several dialects of proper Brit from all walks of life. He'd travelled a fair bit and was VERY adaptable and adept. 

 

Conversations were most always interesting but much more so when he were a tad irritated.

cool !

 

when I hear or read stop motion - immediately think of the incredibly multi-talented Tool guitarist Adam Jones 

 

Jones is into stop motion - as seen in the Sober video (link below)

Today I have mostly been fitting this thing...Its a tool box carrier I made up from bits of steel bar I had.

Holds a small ammo box for tools and rope etc. 

Fed up of pockets full of stuff when I go out.

I did the same thing to the Speedanza. Mounted a tool box on the back for some tools, chain, hitch pins ...etc

@Mickwhitt with a little upholstery on top it will be also a cool Armrest.

I certainly would like to know how to do that . Pumpernickel bread, fill the hole with dill dip. Tear off hunk, dip, savor!

The troubleshooting guide gives several possible causes - too much water, too much yeast, too much sugar.  Whatever happened, the bread rose too quickly and collapsed in the center.  By the look of the dough as it was in the kneading cycle, I think I had too much water.
