A new fully loaded Herman Miller Aeron Office chair to read the OPE forums.

For this type of reading, I prefer the horizontal position Or a lazy boy armchair

A support/helper wheel for my little car trailer.
Been meaning to make one, but with the new to me property that ain't going to happen any time soon.
Time is money, You either find time or pay up!
Still need to find time to fit this thing to my trailer though.

A top link bar, the red one.
The grey one is a much better & heavier build, true old school.


Corn for my mom's chicken.

Arthroscopic carpel tunnel surgery on the left hand.

 

[Wilhelm]

The top link bar was 28€, 1 liter of SAE90/GL5 for the mulchers transmission box was 8€.

Kinda crazy considering best scenario the bar will never be changed, yet the oil will require regular changing throughout the machines lifetime.

And this was the cheapest oil, brand name oils this grade are more expensive.

Got spare tips for my flux core welder.

jbl - I've hand both hands done and in both cases it completely resolved my issues. I did not heed the Doctor's advice on the first one and tried starting a recently acquired Homelite Super Wiz 55...popped the stitches...took 6-8 weeks for the wound to close including multiple visits to the wound center for treatments.

Be careful for a few weeks.

Sometimes the doctors are in a CYA mode, sometimes they really do mean it.

No stitches with the arthroscopic procedure. They go in through the wrist with some little stick thing with a saw on the end of it and cut it from the inside. No open wound other than a small incision. It’s been 42ish hrs since surgery and it is sore but all things considered feels great. The doctor said there are no restrictions of any kind as far as messing up the surgery but things will be sore and tender for a while until the stuff they moved around stops being pissed off from being moved around. His exact words lol.

Picked up this MS290 off Facebook marketplace.
$90 with bar oil, new stihl chain, and 2 different sharpeners.
Gave it a service and a muffler mods and it runs sweet.

Bought my 3rd pop-up piston from LiL Red Barn for the 550xp i got off eBay for dirt cheep. It supposedly didn't run but does without issues. The LRB pistons have all been great so far with OEM pin and clips along with Caber rings. I do wish they would have a bit more of an aggressive pop-up. IMO they could likely double the thickness on the 550xp piston top without issue.
