Not So Pro 3

[GCJenks204]

Morning / Evening All. Was election day around here yesterday, will have a new government once sworn in. We’re going from an incompetent racist to a spouse beating drunk. We’re still screwed, just a different type of screwed…

@full chizel Dave’s not here man… But he’ll get through this, do you best to support your mom as her focus will be him and she’ll forget to look after herself.

Good morning folks, et all. We got a good drenching again overnight of 3ish inches. 61 to 64 today with a cooldown starting tonite getting temps back into the more expected range before the weekend.

 

[Loony661]

Good morning fellas, 63 now topping off at 72 today. Then like Nbbt said, cooling off tonight.
Planning to repack the dozer cylinders for the skidder today. Never repacked cylinders before, but looking at the kits, it can’t be that bad.

Good morning. 66°F/ 19°C going up to 84°F/ 29°C

This. All of it.

Fella got killed today on my daughter's boyfriend's framing crew. Crane got into the powerline while he was holding the cable. Bad deal. Killed him instantly.

Electricity is no joke. Always made me nervous whenever I was aloft doing tree work..

That’ll do it. Cooks you from the inside out.

You should see how lax our service manager and The Prodigy are when it comes to the high voltage in the EV stuff.
Our, or I guess the Prodigy says they are his, gloves for use in the batteries are to be recertified every 6 months. They are dated Dec 2020...
He says you don't need to wear them much anyway.
I don't do the EV stuff. I got one pushed to me once, I asked where my gloves and such were and then said I'm not touching it until I have the proper equipment, I'm not chancing it.
Haven't been given one since.
That's fine because I have plenty of diesel and transmission crap nobody wants to do.

Electricity is not something to screw around with, when even people that know better have accidents, you know uneducated will fare worse. I know too many that don’t understand ohms law, let alone anything else. Hell, most, Randy excepted, don’t even know the difference between AC&DC. Be careful with that chit!

Most of our family tested positive for Covid yesterday. I've got a sore throat.

It made its way around our area here again about a month ago. Feel better Randy.

I feel ok. Like a mild cold. Not even gonna go to the doctor.

See if this helps or makes it worse Joe.
Voltage is the size of the bucket you fill with water.
Current is how fast you can dump it on Dallas' head...
Reactance is how fast he can kick you in the sack.
Impedance is how hard you are laughing while trying to run away....
And capacitance is how hard he saves up to kick you in the sack next time he sees you.

I had to go a little more in depth on it, but that's actually a great analogy.

I hate when people say things like "It's not the voltage that's dangerous, it's the amperage." Because really it's a combination of both. If you think about in terms of your analogy, if I dump a small bucket of water on you very fast, did you really get soaked? Likewise, if I dump a big bucket of water on you very slowly, your still getting soaked, but you won't jump in the same way as if I did it all at once.

We will for sure look after my mom. She’s supposed to retire next month so and this kind of dampens the joy of looking forward to that. 36 years as a nurse practitioner.

Lots of nurses in my family. My wife, sister, mom, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law are all nurses.

My grandson reassembled this one from the crank up yesterday.

Need help with the test ?

This is the simplest way for me to understand it and also to show others who don’t under it.

Covid test results negative for me. Must just be a little cold or something.

Firewood womping this morning.
This came from one round.

There's a bunch if different stuff going around. I had covid, my younger sister was sick with similar symptoms but wasn't covid. Neither of us was sick for more than 10 days. Just mild cold symptoms.

I am seeing $4 to $6 pound hanging plus processing in this area now. Sold one a couple weeks ago for $3 to someone on my route. Gave them a bit back for the half they kept since they have been pretty good to me. For the last couple years or so you have set up your slots almost a year early because there are not enough processing places local. Used to be able to call a couple months out and get an appointment. I think in the next few years I will begin to run 10 or so head for sell hanging instead of the one or two that I currently do. Overall I can make more money off one rather than running them through the local sell barn.

If you are seeing as high as $6 then maybe $7 isn't highway robbery up here. I guess the bottom line is food is freaking expensive but I bet the people who grow it aren't the ones reaping the profits

Morning, 28 and clear, no northern lights last night but sure got a beautiful view of the stars cause it is DARK out here
