What is this and what is it used for

Not wanting to rush the game but if you have already figured out what Snowmule challenged us with (and I had to cheat to figure it out) I will offer another tool since tools seem popular.

it may not be clear but the working end has a hole in the center and another smaller one near the edge.

 

Old timers will know this one so no hints at this time.

 I would guess that it is some repair part for something Mike broke doing an outlandish stunt on some motorized vehicle that needs repair before the winter sets in.


:smirk:

 

Ben got it... with a little assistance. Smiley Tongue

Shift star from the motorcycle.  Neat looking part that that connects the shifter to the shift drum and provides the detents between gears.

I work with @RVallieu

Who (as I mentioned previously owns six motor cycles that he and his wife race. When he shows up at work riding his Ducati Elephant, everyone nows he is here. he recognized the part the second I pointed it out to him.

 

So if we are keeping score put a check mark in his collumn.

 

An archeological challenge is in the spoiler below. Warning! There are g-daughter pictures involved.

Speaking of keeping score now that snowmule has done the final reveal and Jeff answered my tool quesiton, I will post a couple of pictures that show what my granddaughters and I found last night. I have some ideas from my co-workers but I do not have a definate answer.

 

We climbed up a gulley last night ...

and found a cave. Inside the cave ...

... behind teh waterfall and to the right of Eden (my youngest now 2 years old) I noticed what looked like bricks. It was geting dark so I could not see well (old eyes) but I took a picture shown below.

 

DSCN0735.JPG

 

and one more picture to give you as much info as I have.

 

DSCN0736.JPG

 

The other side of the cave opening behind the waterfall does not look strange.

If you have ideas, I am willing to listen!

I am not sure what the bricks were put the for????

At one point, there was a DeLorean stored in that cave. Doc Brown added bricks to reinforce and make sure the cave didn't collapse before Marty could get to it.

Cheers

Perhaps the bricks could have been used to create a cold well for perishable food storage. Caves along with moisture tend to be cooler in warm/hot weather.

They would also keep most critters out (definitely not teddy bears, though).

 

Just a WAG on my part.

That is a good thought.

Two weeks ago my eldest G-duaghter made an entry in my log book...

 

"

We made a swing.

We went to my neighbors.

My siter cried.

She fell down.

I swang.

I got wet.

We found prints.

Maybe a panda bear.

Sometimes I still use such a tool. The electrical version from Gardner Denver. And the other way around tool.
