Big elephant trunk tornado in the storms heading our way, hopefully the worst goes north of us, damn Oklahoma for ya
As of the Amf roadmaster 3 wheel bicycle, the diff has been really screwed up. i have gotten it to work right but the inner bearing on one shaft is pushed in a bit allowing for play which messed the diff, these things werent made to be fixed really. so im looking at welding it solid, but there might be a chance i could put a few c-clips on it to make it work, but its like the one in this

I had a little time the last few days to mess around with that amf roadmaster 3 wheeler im thinking it`s a 1962, only cause the bolts that hold down the fenders and the cage on the backaxle have square nuts.I thought i should just paint it all yellow and put a flowerbox in the back for the yard. being ... some one had already welded the diff around the collors that had the split pins for the axle shafts, and the inside spider gears was catching on the metal enclosing it. and a inside bushing on the right shaft.was pulled in a tad . So just for the hell of it i cut the housing off the diff and broke off most the lousy weld. Straightened up the diff, Hammered me a 1/8 spacer around the sloppy shaft. and everything was tight except for the sprocket, so i put a real thin one in for that. And the damn thing works great now and its all tight and the 3 speed hub works. This damn thing might end up working after all just need me a good chain to see if it holds with force being added. Cool beans.

My beans shoots have finally surfaced I have set a minefield of snail pellets and crushed eggshells to stop the overnight destruction of my baby plants by the gastropods . Its a war that will last all spring and summer I am afraid. They are determined to munch on my vegetables, but I will win.

Are snails seasonal because all of ours disappeared a couple of months ago?

I think they are they sleep all winter but I have caught some sneaky ones having a feed on my Kittys cat food, they eat meat which I was sorta concerned about I thought they were just vegetarian ? Anyways they have their hiding places where they all seem to congregate, one was a big plant within striking distance of my vegetable patch so I emptied a whole box of snail pellets there ( and no one go crook at me for doing that as its me or them ) . So I seem to have decimated that snail and slug colony back to the stone age. Haven't lost one plant yet.

I have a 90 town car, actually its my wife`s car, but i had to put a new battery in it last week and this morning i go out and its dead. i`m like oh shit i got a short that im gonna have to track down in something that has all sorts of stuff. Thing is the auto lamp delay hasn`t worked in a while and we have to leave it in the on position cause it runs down the battery, we forgot about it i guess but the headlights werent working with the auto lamp, you had to pull the switch out for the lights for them to work. But i found out that you have to program it, it was easy and only took about 30 seconds. Now the lights work right when useing the auto lamp delay. now to find out in the morning when its 25 degrees, or i will be riden my bike to work again.

Sent my hard drive to Dell to be recovered and fixed/replaced only to find that I was supposed to send back the whole computer. They're going to send me another return box. Plugging along on a borrowed laptop. :(

Windows 10 has a new version they've been trying to install on my computer. There's been reports of people getting the blue screen of death after the process is complete or an endless reboot cycle.

As Above So Below
I woke up this morning, about 20 min ago, looked at my phone and the time said just a couple minutes past 5am...So I let my dog outside and get dressed to take a drive to the grocery store, I grab my phone again and take a look at the time once more before stuffing it in my pocket and the phone says it's just after 1am...I clearly remember seeing it say 5 am about 20 minutes ago...ugh
