So what did you do today?

[Mastermind]

You OK there Randy?

Oh yeah. Just been making hay, and fighting breakdowns. I'm tired.

Rest is always good.
Going to take Dad on a ride today like almost every Tuesday. His birthday is today and he is 91. Will enjoy whatever time he has left. Sure is lonely for him since Mom passed five years ago.
Hope y’all have a good day too.

Happens to all of us ... and more frequently as we get older!

I just don't get done what I used to get done every day ... frustrating!

I managed to get my squish band/base cut for my 372 without screwing up to bad, I ended up with a little ledge that was catching my piston but I fixed it with a wood chisel and sand paper. Also got the ports laid out, EX 102, TR 120/124, IN 78.

Finished up the 372 cylinder except for going around the outside of the band with a tiny diamond ball to clean it up, I can't see it in real life but the pics make it look a little rough.

I've had that same Ozark Trail flashlight about 3 years now.
It's been through hell & still works great!

Nice job on the 372!

I am mowing my yard, 1/3rd done, the slower area where I collect the grass.
All the remaining area I just leave the cut grass on the lawn.

 

[Wilhelm]

Backyard is done too now.
Our ducks love picking the cut grass out of the water, and they aren't stumbling through the previously higher grass no more.

Those old "war wounds " will come back to haunt you later in life .I can certainly to attest to that . When that happens as it will you have to learn to use what you sit your hat on rather than your now aching back .Things will still get done it just takes longer .My problem is part of me thinks I'm still 30 but my bod reminds me to add another 40 plus years to that .

 

[Wilhelm]

Also cut the driveways hedge and debarked some split firewood after having mowed the yard.

I am sunburned and tired!

Groundi unboxed a Milwaukee battery powered chainsaw today. I was there observing but have a bandaged hand. We're charging the ginormous battery. (12 amp hour). Got this for two reasons, she has a hard time starting gas powered saws sometimes and we also sometimes need a saw on remodeling jobs that we go to in a vehicle with no trunk. So the ability to have a chainsaw without the fuel fumes is going to be a big plus. We'll give it a good workout and report back. It was $500 from Home Depot and came with an extra 6 amp hour battery. (mail order with free shipping). The chain looks pretty lame but we'll see. (16" bar)

My brother has the DeWalt and is very happy with it. Same reasons ... he is (among other things) a licensed surveyor and uses it quite a bit while doing that work.

I am right behind you and agree with your comments completely. I do exercises for my back every morning, which seem to help me a lot. I'll do anything I think I'm strong enough to do, but I have difficulty going a full day at a good pace. (I'm used to going far longer than a full day at a high pace).

I take more breaks during the day, and try to avoid long days.

As Rondeau (the Adirondack Mtn Man) once said "Father time keeps picking my pocket, and I can't seem to get him to stop."
