MARCH - Cawfee and victuals for the Lions and The Lambs

[Major E A Sterner]

What did you get this time Major?

[The Trinity Kid]

Wheeee dogies!

Sittin' here writing a school paper and hear a deputy on the radio report a high-speed chase.  100mph through highway 36 past Mad River (google it, 100mph is..quite frankly not possible for long).  Then the deputy reports foot chase.  Second deputy arrives, and helps in foot pursuit, then there are three shots fired at them.  Moments later, a car comes barreling down the road, nailing one of the deputies.  Other deputy unable to get a shot.
    An hour later, they just got the injured deputy on a chopper, headed to the nearest hospital (Eureka).  Suspect(s) at large.

I sure hope this is the last time anything like that ever happens here.  I know the injured deputy personally (local theater got him into a tutu, somehow..    ).  Not only that, but 20-some percent of the population are children.  I don't know 'bout y'all, but I prefer my friends not flattened by a 100mph road chase, shot by errant bullets (almost happened to me, once ), overdosing on illegal substances, mangled by foreign drug dealers etc.. 

Please pray for this deputy.

Major,  it's for the wife mostly, and her errands , Fusion hybrid V-6  Black on Black... I have the same motor in my Edge.
We drove the Focus with turbo 252-horsepower, lordy that is pocket rocket  ! 0-60 in just under 5 sec. 
Guess, we are passed the barrier  it made us both a bit quizzy.
Not to mention, I don't fold all that well to shoehorn in

Got a dead starter on the Ferguson 30. What is involved in rebuilding a starter? Just replacing parts? How does one know what is wrong with it?

[Major 2]

A starter is really a Elec. motor , could be just the solenoid, that's a parts replacement.
Could be rust on the commutator and/or the field, you could try to thump it a few with a billy or short piece of 2x4 ,   I've seen that work , but it's not a fix but may get it to start.

Lastly, pull it and take it to a Shop and have it rebuilt,  should be way less costly than buying  a new one

I think the Fusion looks good




Slim park it on a hill till you replace it so you can roll start it.



Thanks for the cofffe.. Cold but clear here



Will there be rain at Thunder Valley today?

Thumping with a hammer worked a couple times, then the hammer stuck to it. Electro-magnet. 
There is a local shop that will rebuild it, but I was wondering if I could do it to save some $.

Hey, Congrats, Happy B'Day, G'Luck 'n get better soon. Whatever applies......

Kids just left for home in the occupied north. Brought the latest 'grand' with 'em. This be Nash:



Did some shootin' on the east pasture. My grand daughter. Cost me a buck. Bet 'er she couldn't hit the chicken. She did:



Parker, my four year old grand boy. I drew up a sight picture. Shook his head 'n said he had it. SIL 'n I let 'im figure it out from there. Doin' everything wrong but he figgered out what worked for him 'n hit the ram fairly consistently:



Oldest grand boy shot then hauled to other distractions 'til his next turn. N'er did get a shot of him.

Thanks for the Cawffee this morning. We had Waffles and Little Smokies for Breakfast. Moose and I are celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary today, and they said that it could not last.

[Delmonico]

That tractor shouldn't need a starter, it should have a crank also.

[Major 2]

Pretty much guarantee, any Tractor Del drives has CRANK on it

You are correct, but I don't have one.

It looks like that elephant has seen happier days...

Congrats, TLD.  It's good to know that some people in this world can make it that long.

Guess I'll start a pot, no guarantees, though

Congrats, TLD. You've got me and the wife by a couple years.

Nice acquisition, M2. I can relate about not being able to fold into some of those newer vehicles
