Oh yeah I like that guys builds. I think he has a sawmill build if I’m not mistaken.
I’m just not sure what rear end would match up okay with the frame I’ve already built. As far as looks I’m trying to make it look like a turn of the century REO truck if you squint really hard. Cab at the very front with as much bed as possible.
Got the saw and jointer taken apart. Most of it seems to be there. Time to remove rust and clean it up. Need to make a wood skid for it.
More progress on my trade. Dad’s friend heard the Yamaha over the phone. Carburetor needs cleaning but she will start up and idle. He seemed excited about it.
The Jaguar is sitting in a field surroundrd by canes but before it got overgrown he would start it up to keep it running.
Sand Rail we will need to put together and paint but that’s no big deal. Buggys are like Legos.
Dad is talking to another friend about maybe letting go of his early 60s Chevy II Nova and we could swap the sbc and Turbo 350 into that and part out the Jag. That Nova is garage kept climate controlled and already stripped down for the most part. Has a nice big trunk and gets the hamsters spinning wheels in my head to my dad’s chagrin.
Dad keeps talking about how this and that would be worth when it gets done but I’d let it rot before I sell it to someone.
If I were to gasify the 350sbc I absolutely would get a plenum made for it. No ifs ands or buts.
Backyard creek lunch treats today, testing a new bait…roadkill gray squirrel produced a dozen in a single pot with 11 keepers
Finished up late fall garden prep at dad’s house with time to spare so the wife and both my boys grandpa and myself went over the whole property picking hazel nuts and filburt nuts before the squirrels and blue Jays got them all. Thinking this year I’ll make a attempt at a ground nut flour substitute for dessert bake crust with some wild apples later this year
Those red treats make me drull! Good size!
Do you have any species of crawfish over there? These are the native “signal crayfish” which are a very large species compared to most. We have a local forum here with a annual competition for size last year’s winner was 9 1/2" from tail to claw tip. We also have the invasive southern red swamp crawfish but I have never caught one. I know there are signals in England that were transplanted there many years ago but not sure where else
We do.
This is our native crayfish. Its extremely rare nowdays, only found is purest water bodys. Nearly extinct. It reproduces slowly and its wery teritorial so even if it finds a suitible place to live its never so abundant. We do have the signal crayfish thugh, came from your neck of the woods and is invasive. It is pushing the native one out. Call me selfish but a part of me wants them to keep thriving here… I do like a treat my self ocasionaly 
We shuld ask @JO_Olsson, l hear crayfishing is still a thing in Scandinavia?
The same situation here in Czech. Our native crawfish is almost extinct because of parasitic desease to which is that american species resistent.
When I was young boy, crawfish was almost everywhere, even in Elbe river which was pretty dirty by chemicals in these days. I remember one summer day when we catch by hands some twenty of them
We had some crayfish last week actually. Almost forgotten about in the freezer since fall.
It’s a tradition first weekend in September to stay up all night putting cages out. After spending all day fishing for bait The river is usually full of small boats and every village along the river has their own “territory”. Too much work for very little food in my opinion. I’ve partisipated only a few times.
A plague took most river crayfish out a couple dacades ago, along with competition from the invasive signal ones. Nowdays they are back big time. One of our neighbours caught several hundereds of them last fall. We were offered a couple dussins but didn’t eat them until last week when daughter and boyfriend visited from Gothenburg.
Very serious outbreak of downey mildew practically destroyed our tomato field last week.
Same here about the crayfish pleague.
Kamil, its one of the worst sights a gardner can have. Happened here 4 years in a row. Almost gave up. Will see this year…
That sucks. Hope it is not the kind that can contaminate the soil. Might want to remove the infected plants far away from the garden.
I have one small garden with the hope to have multiple small gardens with good speration.
I feel your pain Kamil.
We are OK on tomatoes here.
I had to finally just give up on potatoes. Blight. Blight. Blight.
Like you; dusting helped for a few years. But then I got nervous about toxic chemical build up in our garden plot.
Organic blight substitutes did not work.
Last I tried potatoes growing up off of the soil in sterilized tall plastic garbage cans. With only commercial bagged growing mix. Took longer but the morning ground fogs drifted up the blight spores.
So . . . . just like we must out of area buy our apples due to ground infested coddling moths; we must buy out potatoes.
It is, what it is.

You can try this stuff. Old time remedy for blight. I seldom have any problems with my tomatoes or potatoes. It has been so humid this year that I am crossing my fingers. Two years ago I went to the garden one morning in early Sept and all my tomato plants were dead or dying. Not blight. Never found out what did it and I ran all kinds of home brew tests.

I use only modern sprays with very little impact on surrounding. Never used copper based chemicals, which cumulate in soil and are poison for many living bodies. Even then I spray only as prevention which is considered less harmly than curing. But this time I was beaten down 
Oops, silly me. I should have been more exact. I meant the fungus or what ever it is. Some can get in the soil and screw up next year’s plants. Or so they say.
Man we need a unlike button for those pictures, I’m sorry to see that. Every gardener goes through something and it’s a real downer to lose a whole crop. I do my potatoes above ground in buckets and bags and last year the neighbors dog thought it necessary to dig up three buckets and knock them over. Salvaged a few but far less then would have if they made it to harvest
Not good. I don’t think I’ve ever seen mildew on potatoes. Only on gooseberries and greenhouse stuff like tomatoes, cucumber and paprika.
