How'd it go today?

I say we call it arbor stretch. A feller could use that to his advantage…

It can also be a disadvantage.

No kidding, if one doesn’t know. I’m glad I had a lot of string between those limbs and my truck 😆

120’ doubled to pull equally on them, hoping to pull the whole thing off at the base.

Handy


I thought I had my rose colored glasses on, but when I turned around, it was the sunset



Kept working in the dark with a head light, kept noticing shooting stars twinkling across the ground…apparently we are having a bumper crop
of spiders, presumably because of all the rain (for the desert) that we’ve had.

 

[davidwyby]

It never rains in the desert

Unless…

Delivered campfirewood and used the tailgate as an awning to keep the rain off us at our bonfire

Im ready for a hot meal, shower, and bed

So found a broken bolt holding my kids subframe on his Moto,
I put 3:1 a little heat…. Drilled in the broken side like 1/4 inch feeling good..
Break the tip of the extractor off pounded deep in there… so tried drilling that, nope.

So thinking weld a nut to the backside of broken nut and just crank it all the way through…
Is that seem like something? I dunno I’m an idiot.

Depends if the bolt has threads all the way up to the head that broke off. Take another bolt out to see.

 

[Bodean]

Ooo. Good one, I’ll check

I’ve had good luck welding a nut on a broken bolt if the broken bolt is at least flush. Drill the threads out of the nut first, that will give you a better weld. Let it cool to the touch before trying to remove it helps.
