"Blunieresque"... yeah, and his name suits that suffex quite well, methinks! (isn't that a flavor of Ben 'n Jerry's?)
Yeah, you're right- I was thinkin' 1x9, seein's how I don't have a 1x50 yet
...
But I did do some pretty aggressive shuttle-shifting yesterday afternoon- that deluge sequence we recieved here while I was gone last week pushed lots of driveway gravel into the street here, and I hooked up the front blade and made a trip up to the far end, pushing gravel back up the aprons at each location.
Had one spot (just by the spot where they installed the new road to the highway) where a whole bunch'a mud and construction debris oozed across the road... Suffice to say that freshly rebuilt 10hp had about 12 running hours on it before I attacked that slime, and I'm sure the rings are seating nicely, but I was being extra-viscious with the speed-ratio control... with slick mud in the turf-treads, it sure didn't have the usual tire-barking 'whammo-skid' response... it just left everything (including me) covered with baby-fistfuls of mud...
Alas, dawn is here, time to go get on another airplane, but at least this one will have me back home by Wednesday morning, and I'll have a few days to get the rest of the loader bracketry done! I'll post pix once I get settled-in at the Marriot...
