Will It Ever End?

Really cold, blustry, and miserable here today.

Got that lower sproket/axle assembly down out of there with the help of a darned rope and put new bearings in 'er "just because".

Don't know how I'm gonna get that heavy sucker slid back up in there; might have to send my wife out to do it. :>)

One thing about it, when I fix 'em, I fix 'em, but I'm startin' to wonder if I'm ever gonna get this beast finished! :>(

Wanna hear the old beast sing again, but I've still got to wade thru that pickup yet. Onwards and upwards, as they say.....

Don't sweat the pickup. It should be straight forward old parts in and new parts in. Just takes time.

The wife and I decided a couple of years ago that we were not going to just sit and wait to die. Gotta get after things. I can rest after I'm dead. :>)

Where abouts you at up there? I've been all over that darned state at one time 'er another. Takes a bit of runnin' to cover that chunk of real estate too! :>)

Allan

I've been helpin' the neighbors( they're in their late 70's) with their calvin' but I'm laid up right now after some hernia surgery and my wife has threatened to duct tape me to the couch 'cuz I'm so antsy being unable to do much. I envy you being able to get around while I can't.But I'll be better in a few more weeks and get right after it!

That's the sun tryin' to shine thru the squal and fog.

And evergreen trees are like that. :>)

Allan

Just now got the heavy old pig wrestled up in there and buckeled down by using a couple of ropes.

Now, if it is half way decent tomorrow, maybe I can link that chain back up and see which rollers/sprockets I gotta shim one way or another.

Gotta get 'er done. There's a tractor rear end, swather, hay rake and a combine waitin' on the same darned sort of treatment. This winter is turnin' out to be too short fer some reason. :>)
