Pellet heads!! What's up today?

No complaints here. Better than the other option with all the precip here over the past 24 hrs.

 

Well, I bunged up the snowblower on Sunday when I cross threaded the plug after removing to clean it. 53 years old and its my first-oh well time to re tap and going to try one of these back taps. Interesting design and makes sense at keeping metal from chamber. A little pricey but hopefully it saves some grief.

OLD trick
slather some grease on the tap to catch the crud, then carefully clear the threads with a couple Q tips with grease on them, then a Q tip or 2 dipped in brakekleen to finish up.

Good luck

 

Thanks, I also had an old gear head sap just tap it with a normal tap. No grease-dry. Piston TDC and then hit it with a vac.

I will say that after cleaning the plug and running it cross threaded for a minute or 2-it ran smooth a silk compared to before I cleaned it. And yes I thought about leaving it but I know that when I try and clear 2 feet of snow, THAT will be when the plug blows out and shoots across the driveway

Its a task for this weekend and should be fine.

 

Looks like Old Man Winter is coming next week.
Frigid air mass building in Alaska, poised to spill into Lower 48 next week

 

Was hoping to get to ride into work this morning since the temps were supposed to be decent today. Unfortunately it was pouring - I don't mind riding in the rain, but in the pitch dark, for 30 miles with a lot of flood prone areas to go thru (lots of swamps, streams such that I go over/along), I decided not to. Looks like I missed my chance for a last ride before getting it into storage .

 

Really sux on the last ride, but yeah I saw alot of loose asphalt and debris washed out of from holes in the pavement. Some of this wasnt small and could have been rough in the dark.

 

Four letter word :/

 

Here's what I done today instead of measuring kitchen cabinet doors for the princess. I know this is coming There won't be any more snow accumulating near the air intake for the furnace and got the LB system somewhat ready for the next big cleaning, just got to modify a elbowed takeoff to blow it away from the house. I ran it on low speed to give a quick brush down to see if the draft is adequate to do a cleaning Next on the list is a compressed air system gizmo, first I need to patent itI will report back when that's done

 

And after all that work I know you had a few Beers good job my friend

 

A glass of wine and a 1 1/2 amber Fax beer along with quiet time with the princess

 

My bro will711 and I had breakfast this morning and he never disappoints!!! I think I even got a blessing from the pellets....

 

Always a Blast hanging out with you Steve

 

If you drink enough of them Beers you just might see God

 

Genesee has gone high dollar...bring me some cream ale and I will be happy!!

 

Busy day today. Started leaf blowing, about 30min in the wind picked up and changed direction. Had to stop. But it was good for the LBT. Did both stoves, and boy was the Englander dirty. Al Gore is not happy with the pollution I shot into the air.
Changed the gasket on the Englander. Ran my big genny for an hour to get it ready for winter. Started the snowblower, and it's ready to go.
