  1. This one says it all folks. 7 gals in stretchy pants just for GBW ! LOL Jen walked the entire 5km with her girlfriends. No chair used.
  2. Great stuff Jeff... a real kick in the nuts that nobody could join you out there, but I'll tell you that there isn't much better than a day on the water with Lloyd alone, no better company... well maybe other than Terry, or Dano, or Roy, or Spiel, or Lew.. or............ LMAO !
  3. Not tooooo late folks!!! Leah and Jennifer left for the city around 8pm so that Jennifer can be at the park for 9am to register her and her team for the 5km walk. She says she's gonna leave the wheel chair in the truck !
  4. LOL... but if you can find it by that method I wish you luck. I had the coords and almost gave up...
  5. Nobody could find the place originally... TJ wasn't even sure if he could get to it by ATV when he bought the lot. Now there's a beaten trail... already had an outboard stolen... and now a herd to the door. TJ... please put a lock on the fridge and hid the key somewhere!!!
  6. You are not isolated from the grid and that is the fear of every linesman someone backfeeding the lines... 120/220 out.. thru transformer and the lines are energized/stepped up to 2400 or 3600 what ever your local is using on the mainlines. Most generators make "dirty power" and are prone to feed power out on the neutral line that DOES NOT get disconnected when you throw the main breaker. If you are going to power stuff like the well... pop the wires off the 220 breaker in the panel and join them to a heavy duty extension cord with marrets to the generator.
  7. HMMMM, all them people now know the way to camp Jiggy!!!!! There'll never be a Carling left in the fridge when I show up again...
  8. No it means you overfilled them enough for the bleed hole to work.. and what it's there for. It will piss grease until the spring loaded plate gets below the hole.
  9. I just came in... been out there since 9am other than 20 min for supper, Leah brought out my lunch! Don't need another day like that.. half of it pouring rain while I worked on the damn thing. My own fault... don't let your machinery sit idle, it does it no favours. Well I used almost everyones suggestions... even Randy's although the Seafoam went in the tank to hopfully clean up a leaking carb float needle. Penetrant soak over night... torched it to glow red... put my EZ-out in it and if I turned it any harder I knew that EZ-out would shatter. Heated it again... and tried the quick cool with Liquid Wrench. EZ-out.. same deal. Put my thinking cap on.. no fun working down a 3+ inch recess. Since the neutral tip was still in place I took part of a cotton ball and pushed it tight to the tip to seal the remainder of the plug. Drilled about 1/2 the wall thickness away almost to the very end and the cotton ball kept all the chips out of the cylinder. Remove cotton ball... heat again and tried the EZ-out again... NO JOY Went for broke... drilled to 7/16ths... 15/32 would have been right to the thread roots. Heated it again.. hit it with Liquid Wrench.. hammered the EZ-out in and it came out so easy that I thought the EZ-out was just spinning. Vacuumed out with a 3/8 tube.. borescope and then cranked over so it could blow anything out I missed. Got a new set of plugs from CTC... match what came out anyhow.. NGK V - power GR4 Good thing they sell them in pairs at CTC and that I have a spark plug cleaner / tester. Only 3 plugs good out of 4... good thing it's a 3 cylinder! Spent from 3pm to 7pm building up weld beads to fill all the rust out holes in the exhaust manifold. If anyone's worked on these things the intake and exhaust manifold is a combo.. and they rot out because people don't throw a can over the exhaust outlet to keep the rain out. Still not done with it... has a point/condenser issue making it tempermental. Now to find a point set for a 3 cyl gas..... THANKS for all the suggestions lads, every one of them had merrit... even the Potato Tom!!
  10. Todays formulas start going bad within 3 months without stabilizer. Ethanol in it.. possibly quicker.
  11. You spray water into a cylinder Tedley?
  12. Don... all that is left is the outer plug thread and the neutral electrode. It's already hollow..
  13. I guess one walk per weekend wasn't enough! Felt she should join the Relay for Life tonight here in Penetang and did the opening Survivor lap. I think she just wanted the nice yellow t-shirt! (not sure where she gets the spunk from)
  14. It's just Kryptonite in the soil of Blue Mountain's worm farm... nothing to get alarmed about!
  15. Thanks for taking the time Tyler !
  16. If you had a Princecraft... you don't have a lot of research to do or wiggle room to improve on that brand, other than maybe a Lund.
  17. 3" recessed hole Dan. The 5.4 litre removal tool was your better idea! LOL I can get same from the local Ford dealer if I need it.
  18. Thanks! And many wonder why OFC is the most successful/busiest "fishing" forum on the net! LOL
  19. Thanks everyone... I'm gonna have an El Dorado Silver Deluxe or three ... and get on it in the morning! A broken plug wasn't what I needed after 6 hours of working on it in the woods to finally get it to fire (while being eaten alive the whole time) and then running enough to at least move it to the hangar.
  20. About the only thing I don't have in my arsenal, of multiple roller cabinets, is left hand bits Vince. I always mean to grab some one day.. but it never happens!
  21. Okay thanks Bernie.. I have a flexible borescope!
  22. Thanks Brian and Terry.. Louis.. Anyone else that stumbles in post post.
  23. And there he is! Thanks Bernie... thought about hitting it with the torch as well. That's the only way we ever get juniors lug nuts off his Ford Focus... otherwise the studs snap. I have a set of Snap on EZ-outs... I'll spray again before going to bed and try it tomorrow.
  24. I figure it was so rusted in I couldnt' turn it and going bigger broke it off. I heard this happens a lot with some Ford engines, hoping Bernie jumps in soon.. I sent him a PM. I'm afraid of the extra pressure of an EZ-out hammered in expanding it and making it even tighter to get out.
