"Ziegenstall Motorenschmiede" presents The Vale Special 1st bump in 1-1/2 years

[Bansil]

So family reunion this past weekend, other than mocking up steering, I turned this

And this





Into this



Waiting on Amazon order

Looks like good all-natural ingredients to make a dinner there. Just like the poop that follows.

 

[Bansil]

We normally can 100 jars a year, pizza, pasta bread eat all things with tomato based pasta sauce

We use alot of yellow ones and orange to cut the acid down

 

[madprofessor]

yellow ones and orange to cut the acid down

Seriously? Lower acid? Nobody told me about that, and the acidity is a problem for me. People come by at the church and give me bags full of stuff (Men Of All Saints' commercial Kitchen Manager) to use feeding the church, including lately a bunch of yellow and orange with not much red. Didn't know what to do with it all, but next time (I told her I'd take all of her surplus harvest) they'll all go into my big blender as prep.

 

[Bansil]

Big difference in acid levels, definitely need to experiment with them

 

[Bansil]

Worked on engine lift kit tonight, got it tacked together




Then test fit


Lined up!!!



3/4 spacers will be removed after welding in mounting studs, this should give me side to side and up and down chain adjustments.

I still need to make a couple crush sleeves for tightening down front to back bolts

Unsupported side near sprocket will be mount for sprocket skid plate.....fingers crossed

 

[Functional Artist]

I love it!

Looks 'O so very medieval
...whilst also, being functional

 

[Bansil]

Had to work today for 6 hrs or so, came home and some ..ugh...random mail dude shows up and I have parts.


I will have to trim them down after mockup

 

[Bansil]

So after dumpster diving for an eternity....I found a holy grail......WWWWwwwweAaaAaa....

A good 12v battery from a computer backup

[Functional Artist]

Do you mean a UPS? Uninterruptable Power Supply for computers? I'm so confused about how that could be a holy grail for these projects, what would you do with it? I can't even guess what the output potential of a battery powered inverter for 120vac would translate to in terms of cold cranking amps or other terminology that I'm familiar with. I threw out at least 6 UPS units along with some monitors, a couple hundred connectors and adapters, couple dozen mouse pads and half dozen mice, etc. a few years ago, because they were worthless for anything but holding a computer's memory up and alive.

That’s kind of their whole purpose in life, to keep computers alive when the power goes out.

Kevin, I don’t think he loves us anymore. Atleast I hope that’s it and not the “Rona” got him.

 

[Bansil]

Nope....still luv ya'll, no homo... ...ancient bump, been a weird last couple years.
Plan to start back on it in a month or so.

 

[Bansil]

1st shed, minibikes,porch cover, and plant trees n flowers....start of my orchid I've wanted for 25 years, just never had time.

Been playing with RC trucks, alot has changed in 45 years


Apples, pears, peaches and plums

 

[BaconBitRacing]

Wow, beautiful landscape, an orchid is exciting! And I love you too, and I love this forum. It's like I found my (strange) people. Keep us updated, and have fun.

 

[Bansil]

Thank you, the land is great...I will do an overview once we get the bikes going

 

[BaconBitRacing]

Great, maybe a ride through video? I Amy do one of those sometime, but there isn't going to be that much to see.
