We don't lend out the machine, my boy is the only one allowed to drive it.

Sounds like your treading on thin ice, tell her there maybe oil at the bottom of the lake.

Bobcat would be nice to have, but then I'd need another shed to put it in.

Just passing by, been wrapping bare spots on the Ural wiring, re-routing cables (wus a real dummy that put that clutch cable where it was, rubbing everthink). Found a loose nut - and found it's on the end of a nut that's inside the engine case... Lotsa bent bolts, tink the Roosians use about a grade 3/4... Gotta take a pic of a rubber bushing/washer, ya gotta see how accurate the Roosians drill holes, it's a hoot. More I fix on this thing, less I wanna ride it... over 20mph, anyway... There's a Helix scooter with a California sidecar for sale in Wisconsin, thinking that'd be a better toy, more reliable, and probably about as fast, and way better gas mileage. And no 3/4 grade bolts... But that's why I bought an old cheap one, wanted to see what they were like. Ain't gonna be an expensive one, Commie made anyway.

Back to the inferior infernal antique...

They certainly can't afford nuclear weapons if they spend all their money on good bolts and the third world countries that they sell the nukes to don't pay very well.

That's what I really want one for, the moving dirt part. Maybe I should hook some hydraulics and a bucket up on my MG and see how that works out.

Never did turn into a nice day here. 62* and cloudy almost all day. Bits of light precip thrown in once in a while. So, I decided to burn all the yard crap I picked up the other day. I had quite a bonfire going for a couple of hours. I'd feel like I got something accomplished if I didn't still have several other older piles still hanging around. I was just too lazy to move any of the older stuff.
