Probably a Standard O ring you can get at the hardware store. for 50 cents... I would so replace those with harley master cylinders. but thats just me.

I wonder what material those o-rings are made of and if they are compatible with the oil you're using.
$4.50 for two o-rings.....are they coming from a hospital??

Got my parts to replace the damn brake. I'll be out Saturday noonish at the hangar if you guys wanna drop by. Gordon if you could make it that would certainly help. Thank you.

let me know if ya need my brake bleeder?

See you around noon!!

K thanks.

Double rainbow this morning

Lucky Stan wasn't there when you took the first shot.... that squirrel would have been toast

Cool rainbows, you should have gone after them

What rainbow? All I see is a squirrel!

These are Australian squirrels..... much bigger over here

AKA Kangaroos.... these are just down from my house.... they are used to me, just sit there and gawk at me

One is just outside my laundry door.... sometimes I go outside at night and they are there and I didn't see them, scares the poop out of me sometimes when they take off and I wasn't expecting them to be there in the dark

Wow! Big squirrels. Best not use my .22 bullets, but break out the Civil War 6 pounder cannon.

Whats funny, is that is the dad on the left.... he is a red, the one on the right is the mum.... she is a gray Usually the reds and grays don't mix? The 2 in the middle are the baby from the year before and the baby from this year......

Goes to show, no one cares who bonks what at my joint

Yep....the red and grey squirrels are cross breeding in my woods . I love fix squirrels...some are as bug as cats almost. The greys are 2/3 their size and jump around three times as much. But...they all are delicious.

Back when I was a maintenance planner sometimes vendors have what is called a "minimum order."
You may only want two o-rings but the vendor won't ship less than 100.

Some state and federal taxes on stored inventory is as high as 35%.
So in the third year if 98 of them are still on your shelf you will have lost money on the two you sold...... some items after just two years.
Another benefit for voting for tax and spend democrats.

I had to control the stock level of gearboxes. motors, bearings and such to the tune of almost $2.5 million of local inventory.
Some items that are hard to get must be stocked but not in South Carolina where the tax is 35%.
So we store the big ticket items in Wisconsin where the tax is a lot lower. Especially "slow moving inventory."

Sometimes we are willing to take the downtime for a machine waiting on the part to get here from Wisconsin. That's when we depend on Delta (and Elwood) to air freight it to us quickly. And we use Delta a lot!!!

Flight day

Very nice Gabs, love that color (annoying orange? ... I know, I know.... tangerine scream!)

How come you haven't stuck a wolverine sticker on it yet?

The inventory tax was put into state laws by total idiots!
This stupid tax law ruined research and development divisions and companies in every state with "representatives" dumb enough to past these laws.
Our company had around 2M in inventory in corporate and state branches.
It was cheaper for the companies to have the new inventory dumped into landfills.....it made me sick!

Trees, not scrubs, real trees.....Muz, I see big trees in your neck of the woods.....and perhaps even a creek!
Looks like something knocked those power lines down.....

Gabor...

With that double rainbow... you may well have good luck with your new brakes on the Behemoth!

Jeff taking Gordon for a few patterns around the new runway. Touch and gos.

I have heard stories those Australian squirrels are meaner than the junkyard dog...

Do they get used to you and become distant pets... or is it like a bear in the woods... respect with distance?
