Drew, the woodwork shop is looking good. I'm never that organized.

thanks Dave and others.
RS, how about one of those old fashioned cup oilers right over the chain so you don't need permalube...

that way you could wear your striped train hat and overalls and carry the big oil can with you...:D

Drew that's a nice wood shop you have. I only see one thing it's missing. Sawdust.

Spent my time today on the loader repair. I forgot the before picture but if you look at the first one and imagine the bucket being separated about 4 inches on both sides of the middle cylinder. You can get an idea of what it started out as.

Finally got it pulled back close. Then finished welding it up. Had to add some filler plates.

Here's what it looked like after I pulled it back as close as I could. I can only post one picture at a time. I'm currently welding up the reinforcements.

Okay, Dumb Question.... Why do you have 2 ground leads connected? You have a stinger in each hand? :D

I was using a stick welder but parts of the bucket was too thin. So I had to drag out the flux core. I just left both grounds hooked up.

Dog has just run upstairs to say good morning to my wife. They are usually pleased to see one another. Not so sure how it will go this morning.

This has become something of a daily ritual these past couple of years. I get up and then throw a cover over the bed to keep it clean for when he jumps up later, then me and dog go out and check on the sheep. After we get back, I clean him up best I can and he bounces upstairs to tell her all about his adventures while I make tea and then take it upstairs. When it is raining or a heavy dew I keep him downstairs with me a little longer to dry off.

Today dog is looking especially pleased with himself. We found a ewe stuck on her back and he claims he saw her first, but what pleased him most of all was that he found and then rolled in a generous helping of his favourite perfume - fox scat. Think I'll hold back a while before I make the tea.

The dog has lucked into a wonderful life. :)

Coffee is done brewing. 56° with rain this morning. Heading to 82° with thunderstorms this afternoon. Went car shopping with wife yesterday afternoon. Bought her a 2015 Chevy Captiva. We now have a matched pair in the garage. Will not get it until next week. While moving another car in dealers lot. Driver hit rear quarter panel. :(
My Aunt in town here needs some help repairing some cracked tiles in her kitchen counter top. That should keep me out of the rain today.
Eric, dog in my Avatar likes to go outside and roll in what ever smells good. Then come in and show us how well she smells. Good part, she cannot jump up on bed.
Drew, nice touch with the glass sea shell lamp. But on a work bench?
F2009, good repair.
Good Morning All
