Morning all. Need to finish the yard clean up this weekend. New fence is going up on Monday. I suppose I need get move that bank job plan ahead a little faster. I’ve bought cars for less than this lumber costs...

I have been trying to get a couple hundred 1x6x10 to build a catch pen with. Seems everyone now is buying sawmill lumber rather than dressed. The mill is a couple of months behind.

Not 100% but getting close. Managed a decent sleep so that helps a lot. Thanks for asking.

I tried getting some cedar from a smaller supplier that has good connections with a mill in BC and they are months away from delivery. Even with what we are getting it is our 3rd choice supplier, only 1 step above HD or Lowes. We just can't wait any longer on this job.

I've got 5 critters that I soon will have to catch and move. Things are getting tight on that front.

The 90 year old has been clearing fence line on a hillside
He was waiting on me when I got home from work he brought me the 250 I gave him
And said it quit working
He needs it tommorowView attachment 294530
It was all kind of fuk'd up
That's a new bar the second one I've put on it he wore the first one out.
I asked if he fell over the hill
Hell no he says.

He stripped the rear bar stud
I put trimmer line in the whole and forced the stud back in.
You can see the cracked rear handle
And the fuel cap is barely holding
I just changed the oil cap last month
It fell apart.View attachment 294533
Here's the hill he clearly fell off of
The chainbrake was tripped that's why he brought it to me.
I got everything fixed and the bar straightened out for him tommorow.
He needs more mix fuel I got him 2 gallons last week.
Good job fixing the bar. I wouldn’t have thought it was salvageable

Anything give relief? Meds or what not? Glad you got some sleep at least.

There some things on the market that say they help I have never tried. From my few experiences nothing helps but time and lots of fluids. Ginger ale seems to give some immediate relief of some of the stock cramps but really just need to flush everything out of the system as fast as possible. Yesterday was a scheduled work from home day for me or I would have had to call in.

The old fella is lucky to have you for a neighbor.

What's his issue Dave? You fall, you fall. Why go all denial?

Older men like this guy never want to appear weak. I get it.

Morning boss.

Morning Pat.

Thankfully you were at home indeed. Not fun. Hope you fush it out soon!
