 When we ran out of thoughts we turned the ratchet from loosen to tighten and bolted the car together. With a mig welder borrowed from Phoenix we tried to make the two mcculloch halves stick. After struggling for hours, experimenting with voltage and wire speed, we finally showed Weldon, a third-generation chainsaw accessories ironworker, our progress. after several moments of silence, staring at 250 LbCapacity8inPneumaticCasters our atrocious splatter of weld, he said, "well, i hope you''re at least having fun." dealing with strangers first became a problem on a particular wednesday lunch at the phoenix iron works, a month before our departure. despite people''s interest, i found myself getting grouchy. an enthusiastic stranger who walked in off the streets managed to ask the same exact questions i had already answered twice that day. "wow," he said staring at the table, "where did you get the idea?" a button pressed inside my head and i launched into spiel #1. when i reached the end of my recording, i beeped and he asked, as if on cue, "what are you going to do when it rains?" without hesitation, i returned, "get wet," and mcculloch prepared chainsaw for the next assault. before he had even finished asking: "how are you going to get across the oceans?" i was screaming dementedly, kawasaki kle 250 "take a boat! take a boat!" * i use a 4.5-kilowatt portable welder with a kohler motor for backup power at the house. it''s not quiet, and it mcculloch and chainsaw uses too much fuel, but it works well.* i use a generac 4-kilowatt gas generator to run a freezer, refrigerator, lights and to energize a fence during power outages. it''s just big enough to power a 2-horsepower air 250 compressor.* i bought a 60-kilowatt diesel-powered automatic generator in 1994 when we put up new hog barns. previously i had a 40-kilowatt pto generator. trouble was, mcculloch it took 15 minutes to get a tractor chainsaw and 250 going and everything hooked up. and we didn''t have an alarm system, so if nobody was home we were in trouble. the automatic setup, including a 400-amp transfer switch and other wiring, cost $20,000.
