Good morning folks, I've got my priorities proper this morning. Stoves been stoked and a fresh cup of 's been poured.
A bit windy and cool at the out of town place, -8f currently and maybe +5 by early afternoon, or so they say!

Mornin'

A balmy 25 here, supposed to be 41 later.

Morning everybody.

Steve, is the 19th (tomorrow) still finish day?

Weather barkers are claiming another 2”-3” of snow tonight then back to the deep freeze after yesterday’s blistering temp of 24*, then 20’s & 30’s next week with rain

Tool recommendations? I need to split cases on an 036, maybe my 440, 200t and a few others. What brand and tool design have worked best for y'all?

Large plastic face hammer.

The 200t has roller bearings. No hammer needed.

I'd thought about that but was afraid of damaging a crankcase. I'll dig out my deadblow and see what I can do. Do you use plastic or soft wood wedges to get old gaskets to separate?

Yep. I plan on walking away no later than 1pm.

Anyone willing to walk across the Missouri River, the conditions at Joetown look do able.

Wear a wet suit and life jacket.

Haven’t seen ice like this in many years.

It probably depends on how much beer or whiskey is involved with the participants.

As low as the water is & slow moving it probably got a nice freeze ?

Remember the bearings are a light press fit to the crank and a shrink fit in the case.

Consequently, the bearing will remain in the case if hammered on correctly.

Heat up the case in the oven at 275 and the bearings will tap out. Mag expands farther and faster than steel.

 

[I saw a lot]

Looking at the cameras I would guess 2" here. Temperature is supposed to drop to -2f tonight with blowing snow. Supposed to leave for Des Moines at 6AM tomorrow morning. Not good with driving in the dark and even worse when weather does not corporate.

Any drive on I-80 with snow is a white knuckle experience, especially around Des Moines.

Drive safe.

 

[Hedgerow]

90% of the snow melted off today..

I think we’re on the down hill slidefinally.

 

[nbbt]

Good morning folks. Seems we have 1 more cold nite coming before a warmer period.
-1f (currently) to +3f today (Friday) and -15f for Friday night, then some warmer temps are expected.

Oh, and happy Friday toooooooo.

 

[WoodAbuser]

Good morning all y'all.

 

[I saw a lot]

-1 with 14MPH winds. Had 2" of white crap last night so happy days continue. Maybe +7 for a high today.

Good morning yall. Found this saw earlier in the week at a pawn shop. It's really clean for its age. Starts and idles. Cool old saw.
