How do you get both sides too pop off the rim with a vacuem pump.or is that for one side only.That is one big log and a half.
Hello Kevin.
The vacuum will break only one side loose . Also you may have to hit it with a hammer .
Good visit this morning from Benjamin Barrup , brothers and Dad.

If the wife ever kicks me out of the house I have 2,000 foot of porch I could share with the dogs.

Found a really cool site based on the old book, 507 Mechanical Movements. It has animations for many of the movements, and I’ve got some new ideas for linkages…

That is outstanding, thanks Chris.
I lost a faithful friend yesterday. My dog of 9 years lost his battle with cancer and had to be put down. He loved riding shotgun in the old wood burner.

So sorry to hear that John. They are special and can show us much. I’ve looked several times at that “Dog drove the truck” photo since you put it up. Just great.

My therapist has a wet nose sorry you lost yours. Got two lab crosses that set by the drivers door when I fire up the wood burner cause they know going for s ride not to the vet
So sorry, John that a tough one. Al
Thank you all for the condolences. He was a good ole buddy. He taught me a lot and provided a furry shoulder to cry on when I lost my dad in '09. All things have to be put in perspective. I have two healthy little boys and a wonderful wife. Life is good and I am blessed.

As I found out a half year ago with a lung cancer Dachshund that died, the replacement same breed is never the same personality of the old one. I hope you heal quicker with a new friend.
