"reconditioned"
Going to attempt to repair a neighbor's generator that was bought on sale from Harbor Freight as a reconditioned unit. It stopped putting out any power after only 2 weeks of use. I am going to replace the AVR and brushes - but I think it has deeper problems. It runs fine - but rough, and I noticed that the center lug on the rotor isn't spinning true. If you look closely at the photo, you can see that it is off center. That can't be a good thing... 90,96,78,0,B

You've been warned...
We don’t like to dwell on warnings because we think they’ll get in the way of enjoying life (the pandemic is a perfect example), but it’s imperative to pay attention to them. For instance, Jesus gave us a clear warning while sending out His disciples to proclaim God’s coming kingdom (Matthew 10:7). He said, “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven” (vv. 32–33).
We have a choice. In love, God provided a Savior and a plan for us to be in His presence for eternity. But if we turn away from God and choose to reject His message of salvation and the real life He offers for both now and forever, we lose out on the opportunity to be with Him.
May we trust in Jesus, the One who chose to save us from being eternally separated from the One who loves and made us.

Pandemic Saturday
The evidence is overwhelming that the resurgence of the pandemic is the direct responsibility of Covid deniers and those who refuse to get vaccinated or practice any of the suggested safety guidelines. Unfortunately, the future outcome of coronavirus on the population falls on the backs of complete idiots who follow the plethora of internet misinformation and conspiracy theories, and/or have distorted views of what they believe are their "personal freedoms". If you express anything different in the comments - you obviously have no idea what you are talking about and you are part of the problem.

Pandemic Saturday
How bad will the global pandemic have to get before (1. everyone chooses to get vaccinated 2. governments mandate and strictly enforce vaccination 3. it simply kills off all the unvaccinated and ends there). Will any of these scenarios happen in time if need be? Is it already too late?

How's my road?
Sometimes it can be very unforgiving...even for 4WD vehicles. This is the second time this week someone has gotten stuck in this spot. 75, 90,76,T,B

Pattern prepped...
The pattern is a little rough straight from the 3D printer so I give it 10 light coats of spray putty to smooth it out and soften the hard edges so it will release easily from the molding sand leaving a good impression to cast from. 82,88,76,T,B

ye shall be free indeed...
John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

a good prayer...
Psalm 71:1 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. 2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. 3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress. 4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. 5 For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth.

Lost and Found
Luke 15:8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? 9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. 10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
