    Hope all you sleepy heads have a great day!! I was smart, Had a feeling the Falcons would fold. Went to bed right after NE scored to make it 28-10. Slept like a baby and woke up chipper. Only had a couple a brews after diner. So head is clear.

    Got a buzy week ahead. Gear box rebuild this morning and a compressor to refurb by Wednesday. Motor is due in Wednesday morning. Got to change the oil and filters. Sump filter and check the air end. Then back to the machine refurb I've been on for the last 3 weeks. Due to make parts by next Monday. I need a beer just thinkin about all dis................

    All the fiberglassing is done on the antique Ski Doo's. just painting and detailing the projects.

    Waiting for the new crate motor to come for the truck. The frame with front and rear running gear and suspension is all new and painted. Ready to swap everything over once motor is here.

    We look as if we won't get any of that substantially below zero weather this year. We can't even get a real decent snow coverage this year. I need to move north, north of Ottawa even. Thursday will be above 40.

    I couldn't find an ID plug, But used one of these which slips oover the pipe and secures with the clamp. Gets the job done and I don't think it was more than $4.00??

    Decided to clean out the p68. This stove takes a few hours to cool down enough to safely handle the ashes. Put a brush on the ash vac and went at it. It is amazing how easily this stove cleans up. Nice to have the glass clean.

    If I don't have to go back to Oklahoma, I could probably roll with you. Sunday would be better for me, but we can talk. We can take my trailer if you think the EcoDiesel can pull it. Lol

    I just use a boar's bristle paint brush for stove cleaning along with a flat blade screwdriver for the burn pot. Those brushes (AKA White China) can be gotten really cheap at a BBS. Don't bother with the more expensive one's, just go with a cheap one like this.

    X2.

    Dollar store paint brushes and a screw driver for the carbon in the burnpot. Add in a shop vac with drywall filters and you are all set. A lint eater will clean the exhaust pipes a few times a year.
