Shop Report: Hank welded up the Mustang clutch pedal

Posted on April 26, 2022 by Ceg

Shop Report: Last Friday Hank welded up the clutch pedal and got it put back in the Mustang just in time for the Car Show.

The piece on the clutch pedal that pushes the master cylinder broke off. We rigged it and then broke the rod to the master cylinder. Hank pulled out the pedals and welled the piece back on. He then put a new master cylinder in and put the pedals back. Doc bled the system and it was good to go. Lisa took the Mustang to the Central Washington Ag Museum and entered it into the Old Steel Car Show.

New 2022 Free Personal Use Firewood Program on the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest

Wenatchee, WA (April 26, 2022)—Starting May 2, woodcutters will be able to obtain a free permit to cut firewood on the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. Those who receive free use firewood permits may use the firewood for cutting, manufacturing, or other processing, but not for resale.

“We are pleased to be able to offer free personal use firewood across the National Forest. This change will benefit people who rely on firewood as their primary heat source and allows us to dispose of material that otherwise would have a cost to burn or remove,” said Regional Forester Glenn Casamassa.

Woodcutters will still need to obtain a permit, firewood tags, map, and also have a copy of the regulations on hand when cutting and transporting firewood. The free use firewood permits, and tags will be available at Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest Ranger District offices beginning May 2 and are valid through December 31. Permits will also be available at local vendors in the Methow Valley and Ellensburg; vendors will charge a $2.00 administrative fee per permit.

Procedures for issuing free personal-use or commercial use permits will vary by office, so please check to verify hours and permit purchase options for each location. People will need to provide their driver’s license to obtain a permit and the permit holder must be present during firewood gathering on the National Forest.

To streamline to permitting process, Individuals can visit the Forest f irewood webpage to fill out the electronic request form: http://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/firewood.

Requests will be received by collection officers at the ranger district office that you select. That person will prepare the permit, and then contact the requester to set up a time to pick-up the permit.

Free personal use firewood collection is allowed in all designated areas authorized for firewood collection on the forest which are marked on the woodcutting map, which will be provided when firewood tags are distributed.

Generally, woodcutters may cut wood lying on the forest floor and standing dead trees, except wildlife habitat trees. Be aware that western larch, also known as tamarack, drops its needles and may look dead, but isn’t. No woodcutting is allowed in Congressionally designated Wilderness areas.

Firewood permit requirements for the Naches Ranger District are different from the rest of the forest. Special rules and conditions exist which limit the dates of the firewood cutting season on the Naches Ranger District. Please visit the Naches Firewood information page for details.

Around 5:30 PM on Saturday April 23th, 2022 we set up our EWE Chuckwagon booth at the Central Washington Agriculture Museum in Union Gap for the 25th Annual Old Steel Car Show. We stay the night in the camper so we could start the coffee at 6 AM. This was our third year vending at this great event. We served coffee, snacks, and shaved ice.

On Sunday April 24 the cars stared rolling in around 8 AM. Lisa entered her 2008 Mustang GT just for fun. It was one of the newest cars in the show. The show started at 10 AM and run to about 3 PM.

This was a free family fun event.
