Man, I wish you'd bring more good news when you make your annual posting.

Yup. Anything that gets the wheel mounting surface flat against the face plate and centered is legit as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, that's the thing about buying used. Missing parts and/or extras that may or may not even belong to it. Does that cone on yours even recess back inside the face plate? Almost looks too big which wouldn't let the wheel get flat against the face. If you zoom in on the pic I posted of mine with th...

That may be right for yours because it seems like they change things up a little with every model. Mine has the threaded spindle like yours as the standard arrangement but also an optional version with a quick release collar and a pneumatic ram operated with a foot pedal. This screenshot shows the t...

No ideas from me. You're there and we're not.
Can the harness only be fed one direction? Is 2" the smallest hole possible?

Happy Fridaho, gents! Started my day by meeting with the bug guy -- girls don't like spider season. Went to the freedom spot. https://i.postimg.cc/FKG8ngzW/20191018-091925.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/C1qtLyJt/20191018-095627.jpg Went over to my dad's shop and dusted off the barn find balancer to get an...

Pretty cool!

I don't disagree with you. It depends on which way I go from my house. Most of the highways near me are nice two-lane with little traffic and 55-65 speed limits so it's pretty easy to cover some distance. Of course, as I head toward Caldwell, Nampa, Boise, etc, it sucks almost as bad as your area. D...

No, 40 minutes from my driveway to where we unloaded bikes. Takes about an hour to drive all the way to the dam because the narrow road follows the river for about 12-15 miles. As the crow flies its about 20 miles from my house to the dam but there are no real direct roads so you drive NW then head ...

That photo I posted only shows about 4-5 miles of the 50. It's a pretty long body of water.

It is pretty remote. We met a rancher on one of the roads and chatted for a couple minutes. While we were standing on the bluff where I took the photo I heard a single rifle shot from way across the lake. It's pretty quiet out there. I'm always really surprised (but not bothered) there aren't more p...

Good eye. It's a small house that appears to be for a park caretaker. Right across the road from the day use park where the trees are. They park a small firetruck and some other equipment there. There are 2 campgrounds further down that road to the right. 3 boat ramps all together.

I got out in the hills today for my last ride of the season. My dad and one of his buddies rode along. We rode up Tunnel Canyon so they could see all the canals that come from the reservoir. Then we ended up overlooking the dam and the lake. https://i.postimg.cc/9F3XyXSw/20191014-123158.jpg https://...

Put an oil pump drive in the Mustang. I think it'll survive. Opened the crates. https://i.postimg.cc/8CMxBCgw/20191007-101714.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/zvgW9cwk/20191007-101725.jpg Cleaned somebody's grandpa's old rifle. https://i.postimg.cc/3Rpx756W/20191006-135839.jpg Finally got around to dissecti...

Swung by the little gun show on my way to grab lunch then rode over to my dad's shop. He'd been working on my nephew's CS for the last couple weeks and was currently fighting tail light bulb sockets. https://i.postimg.cc/P5D6jV1v/20191006-155452.jpg He also said that he'd been running it and it real...

Yes, about 2 minutes before I posted.

Got home last night from a two week tour. 10 days in Jamaica slamming inflators where it was either 90 degrees and super humid or absolutely pouring. We were under 10 x 10 pop-ups so there was just enough cover to keep the tools dry but we were really doing the work out in the elements. Got soaked b...

Not sure how much an arm and a leg goes for over there, but it might be worth it if it gets an otherwise unusable vehicle back on the road.

I think a lot of us over 30 have similar stories about repeat doctor visits where they basically just guessed and maybe eventually got it right. One of the few professions where you can get away with that and still get paid. I always had to fix it right the first time in every job I ever had.
