Already it's the second half of the month. 🍁 September is rapidly fading into October, with lots of color and cooler weather for the coming weeks and months. I'm so busy these days, but look forward to many adventures in changing seasons.

Absolute genius automatic lubricator

Very few things impress me as much as this did. It has taken a clever idea to the next level of simplicity. I was expecting something similar to the one AvE took apart, but this one is completely different.

I'm not sure if the cells are custom made or if they are standard zinc air cells, but the way they've been used is extraordinary. Do standard zinc air cells liberate gas when discharged slowly without a ready source of oxygen?

Amsterdam Mall (Amsterdam Riverfront Center) – Raw & Real Retail

|

his is our walkthrough of the former Amsterdam Mall, now called the Amsterdam Riverfront Center in Amsterdam, NY from April 17, 2019. This is a vintage property that is stuck in time. It is a slice of what a local mall from the early 1970s looked like, complete with gaudy orange carpeting, dark tiled floors, big globe lights, vaulted ceilings, and wood-grain touches throughout. This space is not used as a retail mall anymore, rather it has been repurposed into a local business center with a few services and eateries sprinkled throughout.

how they work, maintenance, operation, and making good bales

New Holland made many different models of square balers through the 1960's, and they all had similar components. In fact, modern square balers share many of the same general components. Using my New Holland 269 square baler as an example, I explain how the baler works, from incoming power through the PTO all the way to throwing a completed bale into the wagon, including the operation of the knotters. I also give maintenance tips and how to adjust the baler to make good bales.
