the last time I was there for self inflicted injuries, my deep cut turned into a stab wound… then they asked me to not say stab.  It gets the authorities involved.  

Whaddua they going to do?  Arrest and charge you for assault and battery on yourself?

Or haul me in to Pine Rest for observation/self harm…. Unfortunately, it happens more than we know it.  
 

*edit* not to me… just society as a whole.

it's all about paperwork, statistics, and reportable metrics and, not a small matter, the time it takes to do them.

Goodies just showed up.

What...? Did Amazon strap them to a rocket or something?

 

@Achto and I just mentioned the air filter ideas yesterday...

Last I heard, there are openings here at the State Psychiatric Hospital here in Kalamazoo.  It's a ten minute drive from my house, I'll visit you.

If Amazon's fee wasn't going up to... 14.99$ for prime... I could continue my membership.

 

Oh well, 5 years down the drain...

Ha!  Yeah, that’s why I parted a few machines out a month or two ago.  I have everything I need to put a couple plow machines together.  We just only have snow for so long here…

[SylvanLakeWH 25,164]

@WHX??  I bet this thing will pull a mule… skis and all… just sayin’ could be revolutionary…

 

 

I mean… I mean… if just one just one of @Pullstart’s creations were to work… and then it was joined by another, that worked… it’d be a revolution… a plowin’ revolution…

 

 

maybe not…

Kevin, @Pullstart

I believe Michigan requires every resident to own some type of outdoor toy. That is the impression we got while traveling around "Michigan Pure" seeking scenic sites. Toys everywhere but no one has seen anything like your Project Freedom. Although you have it on youtube, I think you need to submit it directly to a magazine for snowmobilers and ATVs. I'm sure it would get Boss status, and it would be an awesome keepsake.       

[SylvanLakeWH 25,164]

 

Although actually Michigan requires at least 2 outdoor toys per resident… 

 

Kevin just overcompensates…

Great idea Jon!

 

For now, I posted this to a snowmobile forum to see what they have to say.

@Achto @Snoopy11 aren’t they just so cute in there!?

 

I dropped some Royal Purple 30wt in the cylinders.  I have a 2 gallon jug of pre-mix and I’ll probably suck some of that through the fuel pump and see what shakes.

I would use a different term... such as...

[Pullstart 62,193]

Couple things.  My upper cylinder lube smokes a bit.

 

 

[Pullstart 62,193]

And also, it runs!

[Pullstart 62,193]

With enough snow to spare!
