Random Thought Of The Day

[Bill G]

The seasonal pre buy from our supplier is $1.75/gal for leased tank, and $1.70/gal for customer owned tanks.

We are still at $1.50 but they seem to be dragging their tires getting here waiting on it to go up when all this wet corn starts coming out

Prepping for a job tomorrow I am looking through chains & bars as I need one to set my PS-7310 up with.

I have found 3 hardnose bars, D009 mount, two of which I don't or hardly remember owning.

I decided to go with my "variable" B&C setup, 23" hardnose with one each 3/8" & .325" Stihl RS to match including 8 pin 3/8" and 9 pin .325" drive sprocket.

I don't like using hardnose bars, so I rarely utilize the ones I have.

 

[Wilhelm]

Due to some unexpected fitment issues I am going with .404" on my PS-7310.

Should be fun to run it bucking beech logs.

 

[Wilhelm]

.404" chipper was not fun to run in gunpowder dry beech logs!

Damn, I forgot what a power hog .404" is!

It was 89 in my house Monday night.

Damn, u just want to save electricity/money or was it just that hot in ur area?

Yes it is damn hot. Yes I am cheap.
I do not see the use in wasting electricity. I pay a fraction of what others pay in electricity. The electricity runs from around $25-$65 a month and is on a flat budget of $42. I have to settle up once a year if I am over, which I am not. The power company gives me a $50 per year credit for having a cycling device on the AC. The funny thing is they do not realize I do not use the AC.

I have antennae TV so that has a cost of a whopping $0.

Since I am on the highest point in the county I get decent internet. I just checked the speed and it was 135.2 mbps download and 3.33 mbps upload. That costs $50 flat including all fees.

My "smart phone" cost $50 initially to buy upfront and was $16 to replace when I destroyed in the first time. The second time it was $35. It has unlimited text and talk and 15GB of data before it slows. I do not go over that. It is $33.10 per month with all fees.

I do not have a landline and in fact we cannot get landline phone service here anymore.

I dry my clothes the old fashioned way......on a clothesline.

I heat with wood by using a Central Boiler outdoor boiler.

I buy a little propane for the hot water heater. It is still at $1.49 per gallon so yesterday they filled the 1000 gallon tank. With 800 gallon in the tank I should have enough for 5-6 years.

I’m glad it’s not quite that hot here. We hang most of our laundry on the clothesline.

Cancel your gold membership and subscribe to the yearly membership.

 

[Wilhelm]

Cancel your gold membership and subscribe to the yearly membership.

Or pay for both for extra credit!

 

[Bill G]

The yearly came about awhile back because some, probably many of us were getting billing problems via paypal. It was no fault of management here and I can bet it was a pain in their arse. It was all fixed and seems to be smooth now.

Plus I want to pay for a year cause who the hell knows when I will croak. Some of my farm papers i used to pay for 5 year subscriptions.

 

[Wilhelm]

IIRC there were inquiries about annual subscriptions from the get go.

I will have to switch to it to reduce PayPal payments that get deducted every month from my PP bound card.

Yup. I haven't canceled the monthly membership yet. lol

 

[Bill G]

Hell extra credit was the only way I graduated high school........or was it? I heard a group of my teachers say "dammit just pass Bill G. Someone in that family needs to make it out of school" The funny thing is I went on to college to become a trades teacher and returned to teach with some of those folks.
