We had planned a trip to the north east this fall, possibly including Nova Scotia.
Looks like a beautiful area.

After seeing so many Americans being stuck in foregn nations this past year and not knowing what is coming this fall and winter no way would I want to leave this nation now a days.
BacP did you watch the video or skip through the one with the Wynns? What a nightmare them and others went through when nations locked down this year.

This was the goofy-est horse I've ever owned, Moose. He made me laugh almost every day. He was always doing something silly to get my attention.

Once, after a snow storm, he rolled snow in a ball about the size of a basket ball. Then he got this hard packed ball stuck to the bottom of his hoof. He pretended he couldn't get it off and that it hurt. He started whinnying for me to come outside and help him. I saw him do all this out the window. I was laughing my butt off.

While riding he'd pretend to be lame when he wanted to go back to the barn...

it was always something with him. He loved to go sliding through large mud puddles from a full gallop. He was like a 5yrold kid.

In his prime he'd been a barrel racing horse. He was the fastest horse I've ever ridden.

He favors my last horse Tobacco, same colors , he was a tennessee walker and a real personality. I really do still miss him.

I would sometimes go out at night and lay down with these two but Mr.Meers horse never would lay down around him. It use to bother him that the horse would jump up when he came around. But once the horse saw he was disabled and had teouble walking and moving around he let him lay down and stopped giving him trouble when he cleaned his hooves,he would pick them up for him and his whole personality changed.

It hasn't changed at all. Doesn't look a day older.

Now I know how long a craftsman finishing sander will last... 27yrs. It died this afternoon without warning. It still turns on, just makes a weird grinding noise and the vibrating pad runs at half speed. I'm pretty sure I got my money out of it, several hundred projects through the years.

 

[Bacpacker]

Bet the new ones won't last half that long.

My old dremel tool is about toast. Most of the time the shaft brake will no longer hold the shaft which makes changing tips almost impossible. It had a good run. A model 400 I bought 16-18 years ago.

Of all the power tools I own I used my dremel tool more than any 2 of the others combined. It's just a handy little tool to own, a 100 uses.

My new model 4000 came today. It has a variable speed dial which I really liked about my old one. It's corded, has more power, better cooling ports and has a case. I hope it lasts another 16 years.

I currently have 4 Dremels. One cordless, one with a long flex shaft, and 2 corded ones (one is a spare).

My daughter and I bought each other that same Dremel for Christmas 2 years ago. We didn't plan to buy them it just happened. I very rarely use mine.

Is it still OK to say, "That is a nice rack!" or is that considered sexist now?...

 

[backlash]

I stopped hunting years ago but my first thought was "perfect shot placement".
That is a nice rack.

Yeah, I couldn't look at it without seeing cross-hairs swimming over it either .

When you (and I ) purchased that sander there a building in Chicago named "The Sears Tower". Mine hiccups now and then but is still running.

Trivia:

I made an adapter that fits to the pad that pokes holes in the paper that will hold model paint bottles. Worked a treat.

I knew there was something I liked about you.

I have been using (and destroying) Dremel tools for about 55 years now. The first pair I destroyed were my father's the rest have been mine. Mostly due to carving.

I had been getting by with Harbor Freight flex shaft tools but they were what mostly Harbor Freight (HF) tools, "Cheap tools Cheap". After having to take my chances with the HF flex shaft tool when trying to extract an flange from a bath tub, I decided to use my tool fund to break down and get a top-notch Dremel tool. What is the phrase? "Buy once cry once." I carefully priced out the options that come with the high-end tool on Amazon and decided to go for the Full Monty because I also needed case for all of the attachments I have acquired for the Dremel tool. After 55 years, one collects a lot of attachments.

The top lid locks the drawer when the lid is closed.

One modification I may make is to allow the tool to be stowed with the flex-shaft attached since it is in that form I used the tool most often. But for now, I have left it as it came.

The foam liner for the drawer did not last long after I decided what I would keep in the case and what would be left in my shop as duplicates.

I hope this will be last Dremel tool I have to purchase since it was usually the bearing that would die because I put too pressure on the bearings. The flex-shaft attachment is not that expensive and if I can just replace the shaft, it will let me recover without having to purchase ANOTHER Dremel tool.

So count me in as another Dremel tool fan! dancing chicken
