47° and sunny this afternoon
Worship went well, I had song leading. Well, there was one incident where I skipped a verse, and the slide turner didn’t catch it and had the slides on a different one.
Ate lunch at the diner on the mountain in PA. The guy that always wants to eat at the local Italian place wasn’t there.
Tried to pull cover off the tractor loader joystick to see why up/ down is sticking. Got it up enough to look, didn’t see anything wrong, and it did start sticking less. Then stocked more pellets on the porch. Only burned 11 bags so far this season.
Last time I tried to start the Massey the battery ran down, so I’ve had it on battery tender for a couple weeks. Today it started up fine. Let it run while I took ranger over the hill to check for downed trees (one small one down across the creek), then took trash to the road. Then put battery tender back on.
Our last remaining cat (with diabetes ) is having trouble jumping up on couch, and trouble going up down stairs, so wife put litter box in corner of dining room. I had to pick cat up and put it on the couch earlier, it tried to jump and fell back.
We are getting another cat from a rescue place, once it gets fixed. Last 4 cats have been black, new one is striped.
We’ve also been feeding 2 more of the neighbors cats, they are really friendly. Let them in this morning and they get along with our cat.

If only by accident, just don’t buy into the hoopla.
Lest, I be misunderstood, I won’t go crazy the other direction either. Reasonable moderation.

Tell Dave happy birthday from Texas!
Welder report....I got the engine separated from the welder. Bad news, I broke the rear flywheel adapter #7 trying to get it off. I had the 3 point puller tight, had heated it and still wouldn't budge. So I also started prying with a pry bar from the side and "click" the thing broke. There are no parts from Miller. (same as for the Syncrowave 250 at work)...I know the roughneck is old (40+ years), but the syncrowave is not that old (13 years) and I guess they'd rather sell a new Bobcat than stock parts for an old roughneck..
I would tell anyone this before they put a lot of hard earned cash out for a Miller, since they don't stock low turnover parts, I'd just buy a relatively cheap inverter style like Popgadget did. Everlast or something similar is my recommendation.
The print I showed earlier had some misgivings...It doesn't show the fan wheel very well. I tried to draw how the bolts went thru the fan, into the adapter. Easy to get them off from the underneath slot. Then I took out the 4 bolts that went thru the cast iron ring #15 which would contain the cast iron fan if it exploded. Took off all the rubber mounting bolts from underneath, then had to bend the sheetmetal bottom plate down, to get the motor and #15 off.
Glad I didn't have any money in it to speak of. Just time.

Sorry to hear that. I think that the key would be an impact to the loosened retaining bolt. But that is assuming that it is seated on a tapered shaft, not a straight one.
I agree completely about Miller. My Primeweld inverter welds so much nicer than my old Miller DialArc HF that there is no comparison. But it is 40 years newer.
