The obsession/addiction is real! Especially if, like me, I still have my first rod & reel my uncle gave me as an 8 yr old, everything bought and inherited in between…and it still ain’t enough!

Plus…I fish in fresh AND salt!

My nephew loves to fish and he also ice fishes....brrrrrr

 

[Missk_2022]

The devil's in the details!

Isnt it always

It is state law in PA that you can only have two lines in the water per person. On a lake anymore can get things tangled up. No dynamite!

No dynamite??

How ya supposed to catch fish??

 

[Missk_2022]

Well, @Missk_2022. We know what we have to do!

Yep.invade

We had a great trip yesterday. Started off in Port Jervis NY. Wound our way up the upper Delaware River which was beautiful. Stumbled upon Robelings Viaduct… a bridge carrying water over the Delaware River. Kinda cool - they used it for the old canals.

Then found this great town called Narrowsville NY, where we crossed and hit Route 6 into Scranton. Really pretty country.

We went to steam town and so all of the old school train engines. It was pretty cool. Today I shall be going to the Dunder-Mifflin Paper company.

Scranton is really a pretty nice city.

Do you have any remote areas near you that you've been wanting to visit?

So I've done about 6 national parks this year. I'm thinking some Florida trips maybe as the weather turns bad. . Or maybe San Diego to avoid hurricanes. We shall see.

@Boat1 this is what put all of those steam engines out of business.

They had one at the steam engine museum.

EXCELLENT PICS!
That's identical to what I'm running on my boat.
See the upper row of big, round "inspection covers?"....
Those are what I pulled last night to find that my #12 cyl needs a Power Pack replaced.... They access your "airboxes" which are stuffed with pressurized air, by those massive Roots Blowers at the upper rear of the engine, feeding the 2-stroke beasts....
Thanks for the pics!

It is a valid tactic at times. I remember doing just this when I first started teaching university. My mentor reminded me I knew more than the students. I wasn't always so sure.

I have to agree. No one knows everything and I’ve done a lot of things for he first time and made mistakes.

That’s how ya learn.

Sometimes ya just gotta try doing something.

So they are gonna literally swap out a new engine??

We did that on tanks. (I never did I’ve seen it done). Assume the motor isn’t junk but it’s gotta be refurbished and rebuilt.

And, when she gives you that look (you know, the "you're an idiot!" look.).
Just remind her she's the one who said yes...

Should K+ and I plan on buying kilts when we visit Scotland?

YES!

If the clock works with a pin tip, that's all you need. You can always add more. It's hard to take it away.

Rodico can help take some away. You can find how to use this online, but basically tear off a small blob and shape it to touch the part with too much oil. (Or fingerprints, or dirt, etc.). Probably don't need to be that fussy with an old clock. But it's not hard to do a nice neat job.

Not all is lost! I was reading in that thread, and one of the long time ClockMeisters (official term) said take some 5w20 (he was very specific about this weight?) and use that. Well I got that laying around in spades! Now just to tear down this sucker to get to the guts….

Not sure 5W20 is the best thing. Most modern oils have detergents in them, those can wreak havoc. For most things I use a non-detergent high quality oil. Stay away from 3-in-1, and WD-40 (which you figured out already).

I use Mobile velocite #10 in most things. Can't find a small bottle of #10, but it looks like amazon has #6 in a 30ml bottle.

Most big diesels have removable cylinder liners. Just pull the liner, piston and rings. (Probably the rod too???) and slap a new set in. Those engines likely have individual removable heads. Worst part is probably torquing the rod and head bolts.

What kind of sacrilege is that!.

Ever seen those Crappy rigs they use in TX and OK? like ten rods hanging off one boat! Floating fishing battleships.

Awesome! Thanks for that gouge. I’m half joking but didn’t want to wait on some special oil from Switzerland that’d take a week to get here. Clock is hold for a few days, as more medical BS came up. I appreciate the link!

How was it? I've always wanted to visit there. My husband and I had planned a canal trip. Now I'll have to find someone that wants to go when I'm ready.

It is a wonderful place to visit. The canal cruises were awesome as well
