Hey another day at the ALC. During devotions one of the staff members told me that they hear a loud banging on the train. Well the first that came to me head was the wheel is coming off. So I went over and looked, that is a big 10/4. If you look you can see three studs are not there any more. So the other three studs were holding the wheel on. I left and drove to the Fasteners and Bolt Place, on Ballfour. She had the right bolts and nuts. While there I tried to get some castle nuts too. For the tie rods on the trolley. But she didn't have them. Got back just in time. The reason was I asked Teca what time do you need the train? She by 11:00am. It was 9:45am when I left for the studs. Got back and mean while Dr. Bob got the old studs out. There was one that was really stuck. So put the bolts in place and it was 11:03 am. Pretty close?
Now Mr Bob has been cleaning and re fiber glassing the covers for the trolley. He has a lot of sanding to still do. But moving forward.
Dr. Bob has been working on putting in the springs and bolts to hold them in place. There is some custom work needed to raise them up a little. You can see the large fender washers he is using to make it happen.
Mean while I have another project to fix. the large lawn mower has a broken drive belt. The reason is broke. There was a new guy trying to cut the grass and the blades were to low. Mean while he hit like a root or something and broke the belt. All up and repaired
Okay over at the Camp, the Judson Collage students are still painting away. I noticed a couple of days ago, looking it over. I missed a couple of spots. So I bought more paint and touched it up during their lunch time. Okay the bus is looking great. Just take a look below.
Sorry about not having get anything on my blog this morning. The inter net was coming and going. But tonight it is back up.
