Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

Another GREAT race, no serious wrecks, NO injuries, and it was an edge of your seat finale, shame that Truex had that rotor explode, he really is a GREAT driver and a really nice guy, was surprised to hear the 78 team is shut-down at the end of this season, hope Truex can find a new "ride" for next year, we need the "good ol boys" to keep the toughness in the sport, too many of the older drivers are leaving, I also miss Carl Edwards he was a fiesty bassturd when it was called for, the sport has changed dramatically since the the days of "Fireball Roberts'" when I first got into the Nascar scene, I'm glad things improved safety-wise but I miss the ol "Run Wut ya Brung" ... ALMOST off of the showroom floor cars, that the average guy could buy at a dealer and "trick" it out to run Nascar... just like parents ruined sports for kids, ( watch the movie The Sand-lot ) the factories and big business took over Nascar, .. AND a lot of other things .........:wink:

Yessirree......Fireball Roberts, Freddie Lorenzen, Junior Johnson, Neil Bonnett and the Allisons, Charlie Glotzback..............
Race 'em on Sunday; sell 'em on Monday..........

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

The hummers ore on their annual migration to Mexico
They travel south in daily increments of 15 miles or so down to the coast, stopping off to tank up on nectar and food then moving on to make the crossing...
For the nest few weeks we will have 4 feeders going and use about a gallon of sugar water a day keeping them fed.
We will be visited by 50 to 100 birds at a time, swarming the feeders and/or waiting their turn.
Their usual skittishness is pretty much absent at this time as food is the #1 priority.

Ron,

I have seen videos of that! It must be amazing! We hang a feeder right outside one of our windows and can stand with our face right in the window and they will still use the feeder as long as we don't move. However, they are very aggressive and pugnacious with each other! I can't imagine them queuing up and actually waiting their turn..

When Becky and I were traveling the USA and Canada, we spent some time in Alaska and at Hyder, there was a little post office that had hummer feeders hanging under the porch walkway roof. They were visited by dozens of Rufous-tailed hummingbirds. The only ones we see here in New England are the Ruby-throated ones. We had never seen so many hummers feeding at once, it must be like that at your place. Have you tried to feed them by hand? I have seen that in a video also.

I found this video on U-Tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUEZkwJulBY

Chuck, you dog you.... At least she seems to be headed in the right direction! (Although she's probably saying over her shoulder, "Not tonight dear, I have a head ache.")
