Got the bike taped off and paint touched up where the new welds are. I hate masking anything for paint, apparantely I just don't have the patience. Reassembled, gone over quickly with some spray detailer, and a couple mile shakedown ride. All is well again. Now, if it would just get above 40...

There's a 70 acre field across the road from my dad's house, and somebody sprayed it last year with a drone and similar setup you are going after. It was very impressive to watch.

Glad I'm not the only one that had no idea what that meant :LOL:

I don't think I mentioned it, but you are spot on! A 2016. Bought it new, rode it for a couple years as is, then started tinkering. It's been a fun little machine, not a lot of power, but so light. Scrapping the emissions and having the ecu remapped did help though. Pictured as new (not...

Also applies to marriage :LOL:

Picked up a battery at my local battery shop. Maybe a little pricier than online, but I got it same day and the guy that runs the place is always nice and helpful. I don't mind spending a little more in those scenarios when it's putting food on his table. Fabbed up my shifter link. Used the...

They definitely kinda ****, but I have one I got from somebody years ago (probably a grandfather that hated them), and honestly I use them more than I'd probably like to admit ha. Always for simple things that don't require much torque, but I do catch myself grabbing them out of my box every...

That's how I look at it. My dad has most stuff if I don't, but I hate borrowing from people. And I rarely let anyone borrow from me. If I borrow something of his more than once, I'll usually just pick it up for myself if I can see myself using it again. I know HF catches some **** from...

Got my mower straightened out. Carb was full of gunk as I suspected. Took if off cleaned it inside and out and now it runs like a top. New air filter, new drive belt, and new spark plug. The old plug actually looked decent, but I had a new one so I threw it in. After that, I pulled my...

Gave a quick google search on my mower, and it looks like a common problem. Usually gunk or varnish in the carb. Probably from this crappy overpriced gas we have. I'll tear into the carb this weekend and clean it up and hope for the best. New drive belt, air filter, spark plug, and fuel...

I spoke too soon. Tried to run my trusty pushmower today and it wouldn't run longer than 3 seconds. Cut the whole side yard just fine, was running low so I filled with brand new gas, and nothing. Finished the lawn with the ol man's tractor for now. Maybe I have something plugged somewhere or...

It looked familiar when I saw your post haha. It's been a good machine for my little 1/4 acre. I think I bought it like 15 years ago for around $200 new. I've only replaced the drive cable on it, and changed the oil and sharpened blades. Usually starts on the first or second pull, tops...

Got some stuff crossed off my list this weekend. Instead of scrapping the old oven from the remodel, I kept it. Mounted it on an old tool cart I had (cut down for the oven). Going to use it hopefully to get into some powdercoating and hopefully some pre and post heat needs for welding. Just...

Completely agree with that logic. Mine and my dads are both ac/dc and mine is stick (I don't believe his is). I want to think when I got my lotos it was sub $600. I did get up and downslope, a/c balance, all that stuff, just no pulse. In hindsight, I should have spent more just for that...

I did 3' metal wainscot on the bottom of the wall. Made to order from my local Amish guy. He charged me $3 a linear foot. I used 1x3 firring strips to get everything straight, then .20' luan plywood over that after insulation. Then covered the seams in 1x3 strips. This was all after raising...

Looks like you already ordered, but the Primeweld guys online seem to love that machine. I think you'll be happy. I bought a Lotos 200 from home depot years ago, and It's been a very decent startup machine for me. Just wish it had pulse, but oh well. I may make a step up purchase here in the...

Looks like it didn't photograph the best, but I got one of my concrete countertops almost done. Polished to about 1,000 grit, pinholes filled with non-sanded grout, the finished out to 8,000 grit. Two coats of high gloss sealer so far. First coat really sucked into the concrete. Second coat...

The only benefit of a small garage, I guess. Less cleanup time. Can't complain though, I've put a lot of time in it, and it suits my needs fine for now. I'd love to jackhammer out the old busted up floor and pour a new one, but the Mrs.'s kitchen was higher on the budget priority.

Found time to clean the garage a little. Looked like a bomb went off in there. Kitchen remodel, recycling overflow, hockey equipment for myself and 2 kids everywhere :LOL: . Still gotta wash all the hockey equipment and hang dry, but it's start. My daughter turns 10 on Saturday and she...

No experience with Bauer cordless ( I do have a couple corded d/a polishers), but I have a lot of Ryobi cordless stuff. I like that they continue to expand the tool line, and that one battery runs all. I would think either brand would suit you well for seldom use. I would lean ryobi just for...
