My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Probably two pieces of 50# test fishing line to support a piece that only weighs 5-10 pounds? Sounds good to me. I usually use heavy steel wire to make hooks to hang stuff I'm painting. Of course, now I've moved to a property with no trees.

The original discussion has disappeared. IDK.

We need some positive news. What did you do to your Ranger taday?
Went to the junkyard and got a 3G alternator off of a E-250 van and an air box from a 2nd gen Ranger to modify and put on my 89.

lucky!

Is junior enjoying it?
I think so, I don't know if he really gets a lot of it yet. We did come back to the house to keep him out of the heat today. Apparently Friday night is not the night to pick out a spot, all the good shady spots were taken.

Eh, I like it. I even saw a shooting star last night.

The big rv beside us, they went inside at 7 last night. the satellite dish went up shortly thereafter and I haven't seen them since. Darn camper people anyway...
