Yes to using the oven to finish yummie meats.. awesome...

I think the ribs are done but I brought them in and put them in the oven anyway. I serve no swine before it's time. Zina tried some and said they were delicious. I'm still drinking a delicious cold Miller Lite and watching the exciting motion picture, called "Fall".

...as the late, great, Glenn Frey said "I'm already gone".

compared to last few weeks , CT weather like a summer day today. spent day working outside on John Deere 5200. nice compact tractor. fixed hyd leak other misc.

Busted...

2 points !!ole man scored again 🤣.BMT keeps brain cells for us old people active . Thanks B M T . of course being this old have seen many changes /advancements in mechanical field. difficulty is remembering them.if I only figured picture down loads, found the picture of engine with water cooled intercooler showing the 3/4 piping.

now tell the truth :: he's there to make sure you do it right !! in event you install a side car on bike and he's riding in it : he doesn't want a break down LOL

guess the ole man hasn't totally forgot . great idea to use a hole saw to weaken brass washers

Well... Today is Harley Day in the shop. The Tri Glide got a P.M. service, and the sporster got the same and a Carb re-build. The carb was nasty inside. The Sporty sits a lot because I had the Softail Custom to ride. Now that the Soft tail has turned into a Sweet C-10, Sporty is back in action. As far as 'Tino' goes... He kept me safe from the boogie man. He likes to stand guard.

to spend $$$millions on those fancy 4 -5 axle wreckers and have them sit not profitable. they make the big bucks on calls ; when they are on one. take a set up like above having a 5th wheel ; unit not towing can be useful under trailers. fleets started using tractors with 5th wheel mounted wrecker set ups yrs ago. now they seem to be more elaborate

me also BUT almost 75 with a "power plant" not functioning 100 % ; I have learned to adjust my diet. of course it depends on the weather !!(back on track ).. might have to move this to "what's cha cookin " to be on topic.

I hope you guys know I'm not serious

More and more of those guys are using something like that for towing. The wreckers have become so big anymore it doesn't make a lot of sense to use one for towing. Tht one in the picture will lug a disabled tractor hundreds of miles, and make short work out of it. Probably with well under 100K into it too. Now about those guys' Diamond T 😏

Someone leaked news of the pending attack to the media last night. "Loose lips sink ships". .

SUCCESS! 3/4" hole drill, turned 1/4 turn at a time by hand with vise grips got them to pop loose. No damage to head as it didn't have to cut through. You could feel it POP loose and spin with no resistance after awhile. Now onto putting heads on. I washed up the intercooler housing this morning at the shop so it is ready to put in once I torque the heads. Then exhaust manifold once I get studs reinstalled into heads.

Not sure if that came out right…. But you all get it

Woohoo another perfect distraction from Minnesota activities… bob

That’s just wierd

I just turned the pieces over- looking pretty good so far. I keep the barrel in the shed so I use it on the opposite side of the fence from everything else. That's some high tech equipment there.

Well whaddya know!

Yes, that is but a distant memory...I think. I remember last year I found one that I had squirreled away somewhere and forgot about.

oooooooohhh id rather be eating beef ribs or a sausage sandwich

Did you drink all of the Moxie? .....Hippy

In response to all those cards, letters, and phone calls I've been getting about those ribs, I just put them on the smoker. Or in the smoker, whichever you prefer. I used the pit barrel cooker so I could hang 2 racks and put those ugly pieces on the grill. It's a very handy smoker. I cut the one rack up because I watched a Myron Mixon video and wanted to try a marinade he used on a pork loin. He said he first used it in ribs though, so I cut one up so they would fit in a plastic bowl. I marinated it almost 24 hours in a mixture of orange juice, ginger ale, and salt. I had all the ingredients so I figured I'd give it a try. Might suck, might be great.
