I have no idea but subscribing because I want to hear the responses.

Oh gosh! And I thought I had a bunch with 20 and I gave several to friends...

Use a 31/64 drill bit.  Some I can then push in with my thumb.  Some I have to hit with a hammer - I use a rubber hammer.

We have a local ACE that is kind of like a old country hardware , they sell the replacement spouts to go back to old school , I have bought a few ,  but a lot of new cans didn't have a vent hole and with the new old style spout with out a vent ,  it does flow well unless you tilt the can just right , so a hole needs to be drilled in the can , I put a screw in the hole to act like a plug , kind of cheesy ,   there has to be something out there that would make a good tap in vent plug ----thought about gluing in a plastic fitting and threaded cap with 3M5200 

Look at the ones I posted above.  You just drill a hole and pop them in, usually with a rubber hammer.  They were 6.95 for 20.  Here's the link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/20-Yellow-Fuel-Gas-Can-Jug-Vent-Cap-Chilton-Brigg-Rotopax-Gott-Rubbermaid-Anchor/261376946220?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

It's not fake.  Just look at the local news up there and you'll know its not.  For example: https://www.pahomepage.com/top-news/neighbor-recounts-helping-victims-in-plains-township-deadly-shooting/

I found the full video on youtube. 

Even more important than the spout to me is the vent. I bought a bunch of vents on eBay and they were pretty cheap iirc. 

Welcome.  Great picture.

That's a mess shade.  Impressive that you can fix it.

Welcome John.  You're from the UK, I'd guess?

If he had problems with it shifting before he put the Chinese shift motor in, then the shift motor didn’t cause the problem. 

The last time it snowed (accumulated) here was December 8, 2017. I know that because it’s the date on the pic below. We usually get a snow that lasts a day or 2 before melting about every 3-6 years. 

The Kawasaki FS691V 23hp on my 54" Hustler Fastrak has been a good one.  I passed 1000 hours last summer on it.  I bought it in 2013.  I've done nothing to it except change the oil.

I don't FB either.

Yeah.  I don't think we get ash in the south part of Mississippi, maybe a little.  There's a few trees on the creek bank that look somewhat similar but they grow all twisted and bend over and don't get too big before they die, but they sure are easy to split and burn pretty good when green.  The wood looks similar to that but the bark is not as defined.  I had assumed some sort of willow - I'll have to check out the leaves in the spring.

Here, mostly, we have several types of oak - red, white, pin and a lot of water oak, and even some live oak but this is the north part of live oak range.  There's a fair amount of black cherry, some beech, hickory, pecan and maybe walnut but there's a ton of sweet gum, which is nigh on impossible to split by hand and is not very good firewood anyway.

What kind of wood is that? It doesn’t look familiar to these Deep South eyes. 

I used to use simple green but went to purple power.  Thanks for the idea of the foam cannon.

Welcome!

I agree with jeep.  I've used them but not a fan.  When I have used them, I've squeezed the blade down with pliers, then clicked the lock flap down and then secured it with a small zip tie so the flap cannot come up and the blade wiggle out.  Even then, it's not the best.  On a positive note, when the accessory that you run off of them eventually quits, you can grab the connector, squeeze it and know immediately if that is where the problem is. lol

I blew out my left knee picking up green oak rounds that were too large for my old body.  I did that 5 weeks ago.  It has very very slowly gotten better.  Finally I can kind of go up stairs in the normal way instead of having to put both feet on each step but still can't go down them normally.  It has gotten a fair amount of ultasonic therapy.  I'm hoping it will be well in another few weeks.

I say all of that to say this, be careful guys.

It will clean up fine with the sanding drum - you can just gently whittle away at it with the drum.  It will be fine.  I DO NOT recommend the spiral bits as mentioned in my post above until you have some practice and it can result in some jumpy cuts, which is why I recommend a cut off wheel for most situations.

My dremel is one of my favorite tools.

I don't use a spiral bit to cut plastic with though as it will get away from you.  I use a cutoff wheel and just keep running it over my line.  Ill add a couple of pics  showing the cuts I made in the golf cart I got for my wife when installing a light kit recently.  My dremel is on the floor in the second or third pic with a diamond impregnated metal cut off wheel.   But I often use the regular aluminum oxide type cut off wheel for that sort of thing too.  A sanding drum bit is really good for cleaning up cuts if they are to be seen - in fact for the little you need to remove, a sanding drum would shape it quickly.  Harbor freight has cheap dremels.

 For some reason the pics are out of order. . .

You mean ,  take it out the fridge and get it to room temperature ? 

No i mean getting a cup of salt and a cup of brown sugar plus some pepper and garlic powder and mixing it with some water in a bucket. Then putting the turkey in the bucket and both in the frig overnight. 

Makes it extra juicy.

I got a call today from my buddy Mo's wife , says she has a 13 pound turkey , did I want to try smoking it , I said bring it on , never did a turkey  before but I ain't scared ---- so  she is going to drop it in my fridge tomorrow and she is going to make some home-made mash potatoes for this Saturday coming party --- 

 

Going to watch a few You-Tube turkey smoking videos and be an expert by this weekend 

Highly recommend brining it overnight before you smoke it.

The pic below is the chainsaw mount I mentioned making a couple of posts above.  Fits up to a 20" bar.  It would work on my atv too.

Yeah I would too if the price is right. How much are they
