Stop in for a cup of coffee

I guess . The only other option since I have to cut the trees down anyway for the house, was to sell/give it away for firewood.

Yes... and most commercial outfits won't board cut what they consider "residential trees" out of fear that there are metals and such embedded.

A handy tool if you have the space for it.

These are coming from a stand of woods that has been in my family since 1886 and never logged. But yeah. That or they wanna pay like 35 bucks a tree and have free range to cut whatever they want
 
I went to one of the real early Hot Rod Reunions, 1,2, or 3. Just for grins I had a bunch of the brass timing tags that the SCTA used to do at El Mirage Dry Lake on a chain around my neck, from my Dad's El Mirage days.

These guys had a booth there in the pits and Joaquin Arnett their long time president was sitting there visiting with the passers by. I knew of him and the Bean Bandits from my old man. "Hey you! Get over here!" I hear, and Joaquin was pointing at me. :eek: I wandered over closer "Let me see those." and he started looking at the tags. "They were my Dad's hot rod." I said. "Yeah? What club was he with?". " L A Roadsters,". "Oh yeah. I remember those guys. They were baaad futher muckers." :lol: So we visited for a while :D.

Dang, I need some window shades. I can barely see the computer screen until about 9:30. I think some remote control shades would be fun.
 
So as some may recall, I’ve gotten bitten by a new project. I bought myself a portable lumber mill. It came in yesterday. I put it together last night and tried it out on a piece of cottonwood. It is slow going, about 8-10 minutes per 1x16x8ft. But being how I have a TON Of white ash , I’m going to make me enough boards to do a board and batten garage. I’ll still purchase the professionally made trusses and treated 8x8s, but I’ll save about 19,000 dollars in lumber and steel siding costs.
Check with a local outdoor power product dealer, you need ripping chain. I dont recall the difference but i sold a few in the past. May have to do with the angle they are sharpeened. And rakers may need to be taken down a little.
 
I'm starting to like to order parts online and avoid the hassle of going to a store and dealing with a dipshit kid who doesn't even know what cylinder honing stones are and going through being told they don't have the parts I'm looking for. Like what the hell are they stocking???

This way I can order online in the middle of the night or whenever get the online discount and I verify each part is what I need. Then a few short days later my parts are on my porch.

and you have all those saws and chains..
Yep. Only downside is I will have to get a bigger bar, which is why I put in the order for that one saw that will run up to a 52 inch bar. But it’s estimate ship date is late October.

the mill actually is for a 48 inch bar, so I’ll be putting that on the saw, but the way the mill attaches, reduces the max cut diameter to 42 inches and change. Some of these ash, popular and hickory’s are pushing that.

Yep yep. I got 4 sets coming from Oregon Chains. They’ve got like 10 degree different angle or something along that line. They’re not bad price wise. 4 for 67 shipped.

I actually have a few already in the stash from my grandfather. Not sure why he had them but he did. But they’re only 20 inches. So they’ll fit the biggest saw I have now as that’s what it’s got on it now. It’ll handle up to a 24 in bar.
 
Late breakfast today. Fresh sea scallops sauteed in butter and garlic. Bacon. Fresh peach.

A little skimpy on the bacon . Oh you ate some already.:poke:
Yeah, Lol. I only had 4 pieces left that I had precooked. Didn't feel like cooking more. I need two that are left for a nice Bacon Cheeseburger later today...:lol:

I'm liking that my go-to Advance is collocated with the Carquest/Advance area warehouse/distribution center so if they don't have it in the "store" they raid the warehouse.
 
My fargo has gauge and light. It is spliced in with my brake warning lamp circuit too. No oil pressure or no brakes are equally bad.
I ran my electric fuel pump relay thru the oil pressure light switch. Probably a waste of time but I did it...
 
Good morning all. Legs up time to offload equiment and head to Port. @$$ hats in the office changed crew change to a day late.
Easy decision for people that get to go home every night. :BangHead:

It was free... Kid brought some home when he worked at the dealership....

I ain't spraying no angry bees with dish soap... I need something that will kill them fast....
I use anything that sprays (windex, dawn etc) if its one critter and just hangin around. But always have some long shot and foaming stuff for hornets cause I usually go for the nest.

The adapters is brass. Brass tee. Has one male 1/8 pipe thread on the bottom,and the other two are 1/8 female 1/8 pipe thread. You can also use a 1/8 pipe thread tee with all female, and add a 1/8 pipe thread nipple to the bottom..hope that all makes sense...
He said nipple :rolleyes:

To chew? Sick of crayons egh?
Like getting chunky peanut butter instead of smooth

Need a good drying area with ventilation and lots of 'stickers'

Just sleep later.

Good Morning
