A quick look online showed some interesting uses for these motors belt Sander being one.

Anyhow I've had a lotta fun tearing that washing machine down and here's thinking i was just gunna throw it away!

Waste not want not I say....well that's what I've told the Mrs anyway lol!
 
Hops seen it on TV looks like alotta fun!
it really is! great excuse to play fetch with myself! Plus i get the pleasure of cursing when i drill a disc right into a tree and then have to hunt through the woods for it lol. its a great way to get a couple miles of walking in after work.

Took a walking in the forest this morning this is 15mins from where I live

Maybe 4km or so round trip to the Falls and a dip in the cool water hole devine!

That water is soo refreshing

A view down the valley out that way in the far distance is the Mary Valley start of the Mary River

Like i said to Mrs best thing about this view is no houses just pure nature!

These two are just small water falls along the way.

We didn't go down the bottom and take a snap of Kondalila falls they drop easy 100m or more down into that valley ...

Enjoy breath in the fresh forest air!

A nice day of wandering in the mountains. Wife and I headed up the mountain called Rigi. The views from here are always spectacular on a sunny day. One can take a gear driven train to the top, so it isn't like mountain climbing, more like a casual walk.

Wow! Stunning!
 
Both of those places are something else. Wow.
 
Bought a metal detector last year but have only been out a few times. Hurt my arm for a bit so its been sitting in my house dormant. I go back and forth thinking about selling it as I feel like I don't have as much time to get out and where I am in California there isn't as many unique places to detect apart from a local park, the beach or the desert an hour away. Enjoy the hobby but wonder If I should have waited until I retired haha!
