    Well my new detectors made to the next town over s/b here on Monday, damm things are only rated for 10 years so I figure a 10 year battery is worth a shot I don't want to do battery replacement every year or so.

    Only broke one, And it was because I just tried to impact it out with no soaking with the motor at temp. The rest I cracked loose(1/4) and squirted with carb clean to work at the carbon(cool engine). Let it sit for 1/2 and hour. Soaked them with Kroil and ran it to temp before each plug was pulled. Used the impact on them, But the soaking definitely helped much!! The extractor tool works slicker than chit and it easily pulled out the broken one. Far easier than it sounded and really wasn't that big a deal. Got all worried for nada. IMHO the hardest parts was the struggle to get to em.................

    She runs like new and I forgot how much power it should have. Half throttle and she be spinning da tires. Rather fun too. :D

    I heard someone had clogged airwash vents so the glass was always 1/2 dirty. They checked inside the stove tonight. Oh My, yes the bottom corners of the glass was dark as usual, but this time there was something behind it. The ash pan was full and it built up that high. o_O

    I did as well, not only was it my first mug of the day, it was likely my only mug of coffee for the day.

    Have had my favorite morning coffee's only one during the week but Sunday was made for 2 cupper's , time to stop procrastinating and throw 40 lbs of machine on my back (backs already complaining) and get rid of the remaining leaves before the wind kicks up and it is just a pain in the Arse. Milled the two chunks of Cedar I had brought home from the Harvard job, ones the Mantle 7 1/2" X 10" and the other I made for the side supports which came out nice as they are book matched cut from the same log . Will post some pics later, have a great day everyone going to be a nice much warmer day today !
