R1234YF is ridiculously expensive. .6Kg, or about 1.3lbs charge for a typical vehicle runs about $350. I think my unit requires around 4lbs. That's more than the R410e

Who said anything about paying for it. I think you saw "Boots" rolling the machine out after work yesterday and "Lord of the Wrench" was helping him load it in the back of some meth head's truck.

Don’t forget you also need to find the leak. Unlike a high school party the refer didn’t just magically disappear. At about the 20 year mark condenser coils start developing pin hole leaks due to all the vibes from the compressor. Well that and the engineered obsolescence that the greedy ac companies bake into them with super thin tubes.

Brad told me there was no rest for your butt.
Someone is lying to me.

Good morning. Biscuits and sausage gravy to start the day.
Smoke is scheduled to roll on outta here this afternoon.
Just in the nick of time so I can wood test a saw and breathe at the same time.

How long after last call was this? You probably just misunderstood his famous pickup line "my butt doesn't take a day off, and you're on the clock cowboy".

Morning All, thanks for the laugh to start the day. Good to sleep in my own bed again last night.

Not a fan of returning to the smoky air, but damn it was hot in Southern Ontario this week. Had a great time on our trip, now a week to catch up and get used to the new puppy on Saturday then back to the office.

Good afternoon guys,
day three on the birch timber drive, as usual the timber claw and tractor do the job, and the 540mk3 has been perfect so far.

Tomorrow I need some diesel, and then I'll start bucking.

Father-in-law had a stroke a week ago, we don't know yet if she has to fly home to Singapore or not, and if so for how long.
Why I doing firewood instead of chainsaws.

Argh. Strokes are terrible. My mother had several, and couple of my friends had one. It's rough to see the effects.

To your last sentence, though: it's good to take time out from buying, selling, building and polishing chainsaws to actually use one now and then.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Sorry to hear of Mrs Tor’s family concerns. Hopefully they caught it in time and a good recovery is in the cards. Had a co-worker that suffered a stroke at the office. Thankfully the symptoms were recognized immediately and 911 got her the help she needed. Was off work for about 3 months and then returned before retiring at the beginning of Covid. Still kicking and living her best life.

Sorry to hear about your Father in law, Tor.

I work on things to avoid feelings. It's easier to have an immediate problem in front of me that I CAN solve, instead of having my mind wander with endless "What if..." questions revolving around loved ones and health issues.

For example, my father had another heart attack recently and has refused bypass surgery. He is now fading away while being bitter and mean to everyone around him. I bought an old truck to work on after he chased me away saying he just wants to die in peace.

Keeping the brain busy is a powerful coping mechanism, and healthier than most others I've tried.
