The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VI.. Stop In!!!

[Running Bear]

Went to my fathers place earlier today to talk to him about this tree related problem I have and what if anything will be done regarding the party most responsible for it. So far the defense is that I didn't do enough to make sure he remembered to do it. What?! Reminding him four times a week for six months isn't sufficient? That's a load of bull crap! Another is why couldn't you do it? I think the answer to that should be obvious. I had trouble balancing a three pound box to say nothing of something as dangerous as a chain saw. I still can't handle one as my balance is terrible. I tried getting someone to come and cut it down for me but the cheapest of those wanted a minimum of $40 and that was just for making the trip! Using the saw was extra. Shows what kind of people we have around here. Now that it's fallen and the damage is done everyone's like 'Too bad' and 'I wish I could have done something'. And these were many of the same people who told me to take a hike. And they wonder why I have no use for them.

I asked my father to take me to Lowe's so I could get some 'Great Stuff' foam sealant. I got two cans, all I could afford. Before I use it I'm going to stuff the gap with bags, paper, pieces of cardboard, rags, anything I can find that'll take up space.

Here's a short video of the test run of the old Varney loco I was working on yesterday.
