I had a workout at the shack too. Was cutting a fenceline when I punched my Husqvarna chainsaw into my thigh. 18 stitches (three on the inside)and I was back the next day to finish the job. With Kevlar chaps this time...
4 good lord, glad that wasn't much worse. Sounds like you got lucky!

Pam got an awesome shot of this dragonfly eating a smaller bug on the cabin steps.

Did I mention I was pizzed off that I deleted all our weekend pics? Damnit I'm mad. It was one of the most fun weekends I've had in a loooooong time.

There were a few ah-ha moments. Ah-ha, better think about staying alive. Ah-ha, it's a long drive to Bemidji. Ah-ha, this HURTS! Ah-ha, could be worse.

Here's a picture for you. Picked this up for my kid last week. He likes retro! He'll be arriving at school in style - if his grades are good. 4

Wow Dave that don't even look like the same road. I may even be able to make it in there now. Pretty awesome car RWS!!!! Can't wait for the restoration thread on that one.
I am out of order until further notice. My "stupid people" filter needs cleaning and my "give a damn" batteries have run out.

How long did it take you to get it running Dave? I noticed it had new hoses, belt and distribitor cap and possibly a new generator.
Are you going to leave the 6 volt system in tact or convert to a 12 volt?

37* here this morning. 33* up in Eagle River. I was in a Sears store over the weekend and they were stocked up on snoblowers.
BTW, nice picture Pam.

4 Ouch! That had to hurt. I'm worried that's gonna hurt for weeks if not months. The thing about a chainsaw is they don't cut you, they take a notch out of you. How long did it take you to get it running Dave? I noticed it had new hoses, belt and distribitor cap and possibly a new generator.
Are you going to leave the 6 volt system in tact or convert to a 12 volt? We had it sputtering in less than a half an hour and we had it sustaining idle & pulling fuel on it's own in about an hour. We had a little trouble with the cork gasket on the sedement bowl for the fuel pump. It was sucking air past the cork gasket. Me and Nate made a new temporary gasket out of a tire innertube. Nice rubber gasket. I don't know about converting, I need to research that some more. I need to know if the starter can handle the 12 volts and I also need to find out if a 12 volt conversion can still run possitive ground like the original 6 volt system does. my hunch is that all I need is a single wire (internally regulated) alternator and a voltage drop to 6 for feeding the gauges in the dash. But I'm not sure, there's probably more to it. Probably some ignition (distributor related) changes need to be made too?
