Ponders starting an oil thread

Enough already fix the post!!!

1 Break old post off completely
2 Make new mold with a piece of hardwood. Mold should fit into recess where post will be and stay there by itself to ensure no movement during hardening (plus less burns to fingers)
3 make 2 pins by screwing fine guage screws into whats left of old post. Ensure pins will not be in area of bolt hole you will need to drill later.
4 Get wifes best soup ladle and hide it behind your back then run outside
5 Remove caps from battery cells, fill to max with water then burn off excess gases as I described earlier (the Hindenburg was huge, this is a battery

)
6 Melt wifes fishing sinkers etc in borrowed soup ladle if wife wont let you use hers borrow (steal) your neighbors and blame him

7 Pour lead into mold, have a smoke and reminisce about the old days when we changed hooves on camels in the middle of the Sahara with nothing but a six inch crescent and a flat bladed screwdriver. (men was men back then sonny)
8 Remove mold, drill hole, and as they say in Chinese "walk away"

Last time I saw him, he had no hair

Yeah drilled & put a screw thru the post on an angle. I tried putting heat on it but only succeeded in melting the plastic a bit. Sorry no blowups.

It seems steady enough. More imprtantly I found out how it happened to break. The cable is set on right angles, was hitting the side of the battery & was twisting the post as I tightened the post bolt. Oh well a bit of entertainment for a while

Apologies from all you doubters on the back of a postcard to the usual address
