Mr. G- good one! Herding anything on a flatbed truck would be tough. LMAO

 

[dschmidt]

Well, I can do it but I sure can't explain it very well. ;-)

 

[dschmidt]

By the way, before I get asked and can't answer, what brand weight is this? Each one weighs about 50+ pounds and has no cutout allowing for a valve stem on the outside of the rim. Thanks.

Well, maybe I can't do it.

Tedd said to start drinking and Mr. G said to get loaded. So what the heck!

I hope John L. is adding another step to the 123 like remove Cub stickers.

I did the final checks on the cubs today. Topped off oils, checked air pressures, gather extra parts, gather small assortment of tools, filled fuel cans, and got trailer ready. Now I will load up Friday night and head out early Saturday morning.

Travis:
It's raining in Eastern Iowa right now. Have you had much/any rain up Nort' der? Are we still a go for Saturday?

Weather reports here look good Thursday afternoon thru the weekend but I'm finding that the "weather guessers" here are the worst I've ever seen. The guessers in NW Indiana had to deal with lake-effect issues and were still far better than our little pals @ local TV-6.

Give us the run down, por favor.

Love you long time, soldier boy.

KEITH - No good weather guessers in the Q-C's in the last 20 yrs IMHO....3-4 local stations and the Only one worth while watching is Channel 12, Iowa Public Broadcasting. Get a little dish and watch the Weather Channel..... They're only wrong 75% of the time!

What's up with the "CCspecialties" site? I ordered a part yesterday, but have no idea if it's coming and how it's paid for, or when it's coming. Worse than that, the site has NO contact phone #?????. I got an email conf. that I ordered it, but have no idea when it's coming, or how it's paid for. Any help?

Tom R,
#1- Read my response to your post from yesterday.Here's what I posted to your question.

"Tom R.
Try again, there was a hitch in the getalong on the site, It's fixed now though."

#2- You ever think about sending him an email! His email address in on every page!

#3- Do you think that an open forum is the place to post your questions with problems with one of the sponsors site's!

#4- Read your email, I've sent you 2 myself!

Tom R. -

What Charlie said!

Right there on the main page of their site is a link that says E-Mail Us!

Now that you know how to e-mail Travis (unless we have to click the link for you), you can take your issue off the Open Forum and take it to e-mail.

And it wouldn't surprise me if he's a bit slow to respond this week, I'd venture to guess that the HOST of Plow Day 6 this Saturday is a tad busy...

One Crashed computer, One hurricane Isabel, 8 days 4 hours with out electricity and I have a couple of questions.

Has anyone seen a post from Frank Watson, anywhere?

And Thanks for whoever directed me to find the mpegs of the plow day, (Don V?). I needed one of those to send to a Porsche motorhead at work. My kid gets the computer back up and what do I see, a Porsche Diesel tractor on the forum!

I also have a question about the Cylinder head bolts on a Quietline. I tore the head off before the hurricane and now am unsure about the reassembly on the bolt 4 which is a stud. When I took it off it was a nut on Top of a washer, spacer, washer, bracket, washer. I do not have a parts list(yet, still). This doesn't seem right and I'm not sure about the torque through all that and if I have to move the bracket after torqueing? Does anyone know if this is right or should the nut go on first to torque the head down?

Tom R, on top of that, I've sent you two emails. This isn't really the place to be discussing it. In case you haven't gotten your mail yet, your pin plate is on the way. The reason there is no phone number is because a lot of people either forget that there are differences in time zones, or just don't care. I've gotten a phone call at 12:30 AM before!!

Thanks for your business.

Gov:
Your dang straight about Wrigleyville versus 35th st. . . .I keep coachin' my kids: "Now don't go east of the expressway when you can drive. . . ."

Tedd:
Nope. I'll have to pass on Plow day one more year. I have the plow from Ken that you got for me and it works GREAT in my garden (even without weights). The 124 pulls it without using high throttle and I've got clay soil to boot. I'm still lacking a trailer which I hope to buy this spring (if Frau will let me). (I gotta go easy on her b/c she just let me buy an 12 gauge O/U so I'll bring up the trailer later this winter AFTER Christmas). I quietly admit that I chose trap shooting over the plow day for one more year.

All:
Please allow me one last OT Cubs (Baseball) comment and then I'll shut up: It was a great year to be a baseball fan in Chi. Both teams were contenders into Sep. I'm more disappointed in the Sox than Cubs b/c the south siders were supposed to be there this fall. Cub fans should be very appreciative of the fact that their team was one of the best four teams in Major League Baseball. Whoever doesn't get this should move to Detroit.

 

[tschweizer]

Keith, sun is out here. The ground is sooooo dry here that it could rain 2 inches today, and wouln't affect Saturday at all. As far as I can tell, IT'S A GO!!!!

 

[tschweizer]

Keith, does that mean you're going to be here?

 

[bmcmeen]

Ray L. -

I just hate having to service our installations at CFD or CPD - they're both on 35th, CFD a block west and CPD a block east of the green line.

"Whoever doesn't get this should move to Detroit." - so should the guy that grabbed the foul ball

Gov:
Yikes. I bet you just love it during the winter when the days are shorter. . .
