    I've been putting extra stuff up for sale on line. Bauer SDS MAX rotary hammer from my dad's stuff sold for a fair price. Lots of people wanted
    it, "screw you cheap," but a local handyman was happy to get it for the
    price I was asking. I have a heavier Milwaukee spline drive, and a
    lighter Makita SDS plus for my own rotary hammer needs. There is also a
    Bosch Bulldog in my dad's stuff, but I haven't figured out the asking
    price on it yet.

    The "no name" mill drill has been up for a little while and I have had a
    few low ballers ask about it (screw you lowballers), but I recently had somebody make a fair offer. The thing is he lives 180 miles away in a
    much larger city/metro. Doesn't make any sense to me. I'm sure he can
    find something there that would cost less than the price of this one
    plus fuel and time to come get it. If he shows up with a fist full of
    money (by appointment only) I won't send him away.

    Just sold the 2000 Ranger pickup a couple days ago. Had a couple low
    ballers of course, but sun damage, cracked windshield, a bullet hole in
    a rear wing door, and no idea where the transmission is I didn't expect
    much. I had six people asking about it, abnd one guy trying to sell me
    a Ranger with a blown engine to use the transmission in the one I was
    sell. One guy made a fair offer and brought me cash the same day I
    listed it. Trucks sell fast if you ask a fair price it seems. This is
    the 4th truck I have sold online in the last year or year and a half. Fortunately two of them were in my mom's name so I don't need to run out
    and get a broker's license just yet.

    I finished a mold for a customer last weekend and forgot to test it
    before I shipped it. I was a little worried about it, but the customer
    told me it worked perfectly first try, so that's a relief. I have
    another mold designed for him ready to go on the machine, but we've been having inclement weather off and on. I don't like to run my CNC
    machines if there is risk of power failure or lightning, and I just
    haven't felt like it.

    Yesterday, swapped the bucket and forks on the tractor a couple times
    hauling trash out to the dumpster. A loveseat fits, but a loveseat with
    drink holders and a center storage compartment has to be stood on end.
    I guess when I pitch the matching couch I'll have to spend some time on
    it with the Sawzall (technically Super Sawzall).

    A few weeks ago the AC on my truck failed on the way back from fishing.

    When You Just Have A few Minutes To Fish https://www.yumabassman.com/2025/09/05/when-you-just-have-a-few-minutes-to-fish/


    I dropped it off at the dealer the following Monday. I've been without
    a truck for almost two weeks, and NO, the dealer did not give me a
    loaner even though it was a warranty repair. Recall actually.

    Nothing to make you want to go fishing more than not having your truck
    to go.

    Fortunately Saturday a buddy of mine texted and invited me out before I
    lost all my sanity and ordered a bag of minnows to put in the bathtub.

    Saturday Afternoon on the River (9/13/2025) https://www.yumabassman.com/2025/09/14/saturday-afternoon-on-the-river-9-13-2025/

    I got a text this morning letting me know me truck was fixed. Not only
    was it warranty it turns out Ford FINALLY did the right thing and issued
    a recall on the AC. Trucks from the Kentucky truck plant air
    conditioners have been failing left and right since early 2024. Last
    time I looked there was no recall shown on my truck, but the service
    writer said when they looked it up there was a recall.

    SherCOs Back rCo 2024 F250 AC Fail (recall) https://www.yumabassman.com/2025/09/18/shes-back-2024-f250-ac-fail-recall/

    I have a soft spot (maybe in my head) for H&R firearms. I've kinda
    wanted a .223 Handi Rifle for a while. I've got some other H&R stuff,
    and except for some pre-1900 proverbial "2 dollar pistols" I have fun
    shooting the stuff. I found one on Gunbroker and for the first time in
    a long time nobody outbid me at the last second. Since its not 50 years
    old I couldn't have it shipped direct on my 03 collector license. I had
    it shipped to Ken at Fiveshot Firearms. He's good and does transfers
    cheap. While I was there somebody was disposing of some guns from an
    estate. There was a Savage 311 12ga double in mediocre condition. Ken
    didn't act like he really wanted it. I asked, and he said not really.
    I made an offer, paid the fees, finished the transfers, and left with
    two guns instead of one.

    .223 Double Barrel Shotgun (It will make sense in a minute) https://www.yumabassman.com/2025/09/18/223-double-barrel-shotgun-it-will-make-sense-in-a-minute/

    Not sure how I'll spend the rest oy my day. Was planning to replace the
    seat on my tractor, and maybe start working on a little Honda twin 200cc
    I thought might be fun to turn into a scrambler, but now I'm torn
    between taking the new bang sticks to the range IN MY TRUCK WITH WORKING
    AIR CONDITIONING, or maybe grabbing a couple fishing rods and hitting
    the canal bank IN MY TRUCK WITH WORKING AIR CONDITIONING.



    Okay, Jim. Lots of tangents there you can spin anecdotes off of. Yeah
    I'm okay. Just been screwing with lots of piddly ass things. How are
    you doing?

    I shoulda snipped more ... but anyway . All I've gotten done this
    week is finish processing a couple of cords of firewood and get most of
    the 'lectrics working on my 50 year old tractor . Oh and got the rest of
    the main level siding on my house . Still got the eaves and battens but
    right now firewood is the priority . I've got 4 1/2 cords put up , would
    like to add about 2 1/2 more before the snow flies . We're right on the boundary for "extra cold winter" and "extra wet winter" and predictions
    are we'll get both . I plan to be ready with stockpiles of food and
    likker and I've got 2 tractors now that are capable of snow removal ,
    chains for all four wheels of both the truck and the 4Runner in case we
    run out of TP or milk . Several 5 gallon gas cans that will be filled
    and stabilized as cold weather arrives . I do need a second can for
    diesel now that I have a machine that uses it .

    This is a COMMON scam, been going on for over a year. Not just
    trucks, but motorcycles and trailers too. Up here in Ontario Canada we
    are getting calls from CALIFORNIA, MICHIGAN, UTAH, and elsewhere.
    One of the crooks was too stupid to know that a Norco Dirt-jumper was
    a BICYCLE, not a motorcycle and offered twice what I was asking if I
    could get the report for him, and he would come fromTexas to pick it
    up. (I was aking $350)

    Yesterday, swapped the bucket and forks on the tractor a couple times hauling trash out to the dumpster. A loveseat fits, but a loveseat with drink holders and a center storage compartment has to be stood on end.
    I guess when I pitch the matching couch I'll have to spend some time on
    it with the Sawzall (technically Super Sawzall).

    A few weeks ago the AC on my truck failed on the way back from fishing.

    I dropped it off at the dealer the following Monday. I've been without
    a truck for almost two weeks, and NO, the dealer did not give me a
    loaner even though it was a warranty repair. Recall actually.

    Nothing to make you want to go fishing more than not having your truck
    to go.

    Fortunately Saturday a buddy of mine texted and invited me out before I
    lost all my sanity and ordered a bag of minnows to put in the bathtub.

    I got a text this morning letting me know me truck was fixed. Not only
    was it warranty it turns out Ford FINALLY did the right thing and issued
    a recall on the AC. Trucks from the Kentucky truck plant air
    conditioners have been failing left and right since early 2024. Last
    time I looked there was no recall shown on my truck, but the service
    writer said when they looked it up there was a recall.

    I have a soft spot (maybe in my head) for H&R firearms. I've kinda
    wanted a .223 Handi Rifle for a while. I've got some other H&R stuff,
    and except for some pre-1900 proverbial "2 dollar pistols" I have fun shooting the stuff.

    Sentimental at least


    I found one on Gunbroker and for the first time in
    a long time nobody outbid me at the last second. Since its not 50 years
    old I couldn't have it shipped direct on my 03 collector license. I had
    it shipped to Ken at Fiveshot Firearms. He's good and does transfers
    cheap. While I was there somebody was disposing of some guns from an estate. There was a Savage 311 12ga double in mediocre condition. Ken didn't act like he really wanted it. I asked, and he said not really.
    I made an offer, paid the fees, finished the transfers, and left with
    two guns instead of one.

    Not sure how I'll spend the rest oy my day. Was planning to replace the seat on my tractor, and maybe start working on a little Honda twin 200cc
    I thought might be fun to turn into a scrambler, but now I'm torn
    between taking the new bang sticks to the range IN MY TRUCK WITH WORKING
    AIR CONDITIONING, or maybe grabbing a couple fishing rods and hitting
    the canal bank IN MY TRUCK WITH WORKING AIR CONDITIONING.



    Okay, Jim. Lots of tangents there you can spin anecdotes off of. Yeah
    I'm okay. Just been screwing with lots of piddly ass things. How are
    you doing?
