Nature Lost
When nature is lost,
So is one's soul.
What is lost
What Is the toll."
"A life once free,
without pain,
Is now one
Without gain."
"Though you may seek love without pain,
Must I remind you again..."
of...
Love without Pain.
Love without pain is a fantasy,
Perhaps only a mystery.
Only you know of such mysteries,
And of the fantasies....

I bumped into an old coworker at the store today. He started showing off, talking about his well paid job and expensive sports car. Then he pulled out a photo of his wife and said, "She's beautiful, isn't she?"
I said, "If you think she's gorgeous, you should see my girlfriend."
He said, "Why? Is she a stunner?"
I said, "No, she's an optician."

Sweeet! Dang fine.
You probably checked tension on steering pivot so motor won' t flop if you let go..
Even on old outboards where engine is shot ,on some a 3/ 8 socket( ?) Can fit drive to allow mounting a small engine on top of.
A direct drive is not recommended ordinarily ,but if stranded with the resources..
You tube has a bunch of conversions. Found this too..http:// http

Finally figured out why the 1948 Farmall Cub did not want to start with a handcrank.
The cross pin on handcrank fits the engine crank pully.
I had been lifting from 6 o clock to 12 . A safer half crank process that should work for a well tuned engine. Thumb on same side as fingers should it kick back. Any valued body parts kept clear of crank path should timing being off cause a backfire. Even knowing magneto is properly timed to engine.
After enough blisters inspired more study.....and input from other Cub owowne
The dog gone cross pin in hand crank is at the opposite angle it should be.
Meaning ,a pull from 3 o clock to nine ( I go to 12) means zoom ,zoom...
Bang head.

Awesome on figuring out the hand crank, that's one thing I've never fooled with. I've heard the horror stories of the dangers of them though! I'll keep that info you posted in the back of my mind just in case I ever do work on one.
This little out board is direct drive, just spin it around for reverse! Haha!
I picked up the same motor in the Johnson configuration a month ago for $15.00 delivered!! Lol! I may revive that one as well and flip it on craigslist, it should bring most of the money I spent on a 7.5 honda 4 stroke I bought the other day for my sailboat. It runs awesome just like every honda!!

Enjoy your trip!!!
Pics of seadoo from last fall when I bought it. Wife wanted it...really she did!!

I got a awesome deal on the Honda (of course I pretty much stole it!) but I told my wife if she's nervous of a older motor I'm more than happy to purchase a brand new Tohatsu sailpro outboard. This Honda will bring a excellent price if I flip it.

As a child in Muskegon I wore a bracelet with Spec. 5 James Klimo on it. As did others.
All hoping he came home. Later , hoping he was located.

Never did go see Tim from Habitat For Humanity...
I'm pursuing a job with an outfit that does Communication Tower work...
Nah, don't think I'll be climbing a tower. At First.
(Wonder if I do climb, can I wear a parachute?
If I do climb, Shall I list you as a beneficiary on my life insurance?)
They are looking for ground support labor, such as tying steel, clearing brush, pouring cement, operating bobcats etc.
The job requires out of town travel all week and will pay per diem in addition to wages.
This appears to be a good fit for ole Scotty!
I should know something by Monday....
Hope All are Well!

My time here is running short....
I will have to move on soon.
Where? When?
I don't know....
The future is wide open, yet narrow in scope.
As a hoarder of such fine collectibles, I hate to part with them for such bogus "low ball" minimal prices....
Here's an example... A $5 bill for $250.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/272625927439?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649
But, As life goes on,
I must also go on....
After all, life is about going forward!
It's not about what you have, but it's what you can give.....
I've lost many valuable things before in the past and this is just one more time, I guess....
I'll certainly move on....
After all,
I've never seen a "U-Haul" trailer behind a hearse. Dig?

Story #1 about Top.
Early one morning after 0500 formation, he declared "Barracks Inspection."
This included buffed floors.
Well, there was only one buffer available for the whole barracks and once I got to my room,
I opened the window and shouted, "TOP SUCKS!"
He quickly looked up and saw me retreat to the shadows.
He then commanded everyone from the room to post in his office.
While he began the interrogation of who shouted the statement,
I told Top that every one else could leave; It was me.
About then, my Platoon Sargent came in and saved me.
He said, "Top, I heard that you suck. Is it true?"
Top was pissed and said, "Both of you, get the f*ck out of here!"
I then owed my Sargent a night of CQ, but it was worth it!

Top story #2...
After being injured in duty,
I was assigned to "Special Forces."
(Purple Heart? Maybe...)
This included "light" duty around the barracks.
One day, I was assigned to dig outside of the mess hall to the problem of the sanitation.
So, After morning formation I was told by Top to "Dig Here, under this window to the sewage pipe."
Well, by noon, I had dug 4 foot down and still hadn't reached the pipe.
He came out and surveyed my progress and said,
"I thought it was here, but I guess not. Move your hole over 4 feet to the left."
I Climbed out of the hole I dug, threw my shovel at his feet and said,
"I dug this hole, you dig the next."
That was the beginning of my Honorable Discharge.
Scott
According to the UCMJ,
"No order is to be given that a superior officer giving that order is not willing to carry out themself."
Told ya that I studied the UCMJ....
Next;
I dissed a Colonel!
My meeting with a Colonel at Battalion HQ in Heilbronn.
I was sure that I was screwed....
But...
Scotty knows his sh*t!
Yeah, THAT Colonel...
Remember him? I do....
Ah, Crap!
Certainly he has cleaned himself of mud by now.....
Small world, huh?
The meetings details might be posted....probably not...
Certainly enough posting tonight....
I'll check into further postings....
Security and such....Dig?
And how would you act as an 18 year old kid in front of a Colonel you almost killed?
How 'bout with brass balls?
