Did you trade in the cummins?

No I still have it for now. Gonna sell it. don’t use my Cummins as much now that I have semis to haul the heavy stuff with.

I'm really out of the loop on new vehicles. Are 8 speed transmissions fairly common? I remember when 6 speed was considered a lot of gears. Looks nice regardless!

Yea the 8spd is common anymore. This is the same trans as the hellcats have just a little light version of it. Several of the new vehicles out now have 10spd trans in them

Morning everybody.

I was contacted earlier this year wanting my land for a solar farm and I told them to stick it. They got to the point of calling my parents even 3 or 4 times a day when I wouldn't answer their phone calls when I was working. I sent them an e-mail telling them to not contact any of us again. Supposed to be some veteran backed company, but it seemed to be more of a taxpayer funded lavish lifestyle for the company heads. Put them in the towns on top of the buildings that use the most electricity anyway.

Exactly!!

The thought of covering up productive ground makes my head hurt..

Dumb bastards..

On city roofs it shadows sun from heating same. Can be set up to shade walls for less call for cooling units.

No sawmilling this weekend. I did do some planing. 2" 2.5" cherry and 1.5 whit oak" Cherry pieces are going to be made into step treads.

 

[Hedgerow]

After all the sweating today, time for a cold frosty.

 

[Hedgerow]

Still working on the exploded oak tree.
2 cords delivered today.

On another note..

I’m nearing 50 tanks or so on this little *s-word..

Been through 2 chains already. Gotta say, it’s been a solid performer. Don’t weigh anything. And unlike the MS 170, it has an adjustable carb and the Oiler works always. Good truck saw.

I've been killing cedars with one of those little guys for about two years now, pretty good saws actually.
Definitely better than my 180, (as long as the wood is really little) good av and really light weight, but no torque.

My first one died of stupid carburetor syndrome, but Home Depot gave me a new saw after about 11 months of hard use.....free.

They can’t weigh but 8 pounds or so.

And run forever on a tank of gas.

8 and a little bit I think it is.
Yeah it don't burn much fuel at all.

My biggest gripe is the front handle just doesn't feel right in my hands.....to far back, and not enough of that good Husqvarna angle stuff.... been thinking about heating it up with a heat gun and customizing it a bit.....if I can ever find my heat gun in the disaster we call a shop.

I thought I was the only one with a shop like that.
I walk around like an Ostrich in mine.

Morning midlanders!

Soggy in the Blacksnake Hills.

Wing dykes still showing above water in the River.

 

[WoodAbuser]

Morning all, we got a little over 3 inches of rain over 4 days ending last night. Maybe the lawn will dry out enough to mow the dandelions by Wednesday.

 

[Hedgerow]

Port it…

Naaa...
It's muffler has been opened, and I may advance the timing just a tick, but other than that, I'll just keep whipping on it.

Redonkerous weather here, Saturday & yesterday it was mid 80’s with 70% humidity; lots of coolant being leaked so I turned the a/c on. Took a nap with a grand daughter late yesterday afternoon & got to go outside it was 62* with a north wind. Today it’s 55* & rainy with a bit of north wind.

I had to get a sweatshirt back out.

We had .23” rain Friday night & 1.05” overnight last night.

I was hoping we would be done planting before haying started but it’s not looking that way with the guessers extended forecast. At least the beefs will have some grub to eat.

I talked to a guy yesterday that said cornstalk bales are selling for $95 - $145 each & his buyer told him he would buy all his alfalfa for $220 a bale this year.
