Busy Day

Some days I work on a great variety of projects.

I started the day by replacing the rollers in the clutch from a Yamaha Grizzly

Then I replaced a compressor in a freezer at the local store.

Before lunch I had a little time to work on one of my own projects.  I bent a few pieces of stainless steel to make a holder for the anchor in my boat.

After lunch I worked on a boiler in a home heating system.

I then traveled to the nearby village of Teller to fix a toilet.

After working on the toilet I used my boat to haul a load of lumber to Brevig.

Yesterday I got out of the shop and spent the day using my boat to haul supplies for a construction project.  A contractor is repairing a few of the roads in town and installing some culverts.  The contractor hauled their supplies by road from Nome to Teller, then they hired me to boat everything across from Teller to Brevig.

This photo shows two 24" diameter by 20' long plastic culverts in the boat.  I made several other trips with the boat and hauled more pipe, shovels, compactors, ATV's, etc.  There is a protected bay on the Teller end of the trip where we loaded the boat and a sheltered lagoon in the Brevig, but the 10 mile crossing in between was rather rough.
