So what did you do today?

[Bill G]

Last night while I was mowing my little brother let my string trimmer (2620) roll into a lagoon while idling. I pressure washed it and cleaned the water off the plug and air filter and it runs again! That trimmer's been through a lot--been driven over, had a tank of straight gas run through it and heat seized, etc.

Must be a Stihl

It wasn’t built properly. The walls were on top of the basement floor. All the treated wood and plywood were in great shape

Many years ago folks here saved old houses and put new foundations under them. Now sadly they are practice for the volunteer fire department. It is sickening to see it happen. In the 6 miles of highway to the bluff I have seen 9 homes burned 4 in one mile alone.

My old farmhouse was missing an entire cellar wall, maybe 15-20 feet. I dont recall exactly. I jacked the thing up with old screw jacks and laid in cinderblock. When I asked the backhoe operator helping me excavate he suggested $10 of gasoline and a match to solve my problem. I did not take his advice and I now live in a very comfortable and inexpensive old farmhouse on a hill.
That wall may be the only truly plumb wall in the place, though.

I have been working on counter tops today for an in-law suite in the back of the house.

I spy a Ford tractor in that pic. I am guessing a 2000 or 3000 model.

Impeller in the comfort air bed pump came loose from the shaft and ground of some of the vanes. Some milk jug plastic and JB weld and we're back in business... cleaned it up with the rotary grinder and made sure there was no interference in the housing.

The 8000 and 8600 are really, really rough

Got a set of Wesco's from @Semotony today and slathered a can of Huberd's shoe grease on them, I'll let them soak up the sun tomorrow and also soak up all that nice gooey grease.

Glad ups wasn't in error about delivery, packed in some wiping cloths you put to good use. They will serve you well.

hubers is good chit....i usuall put my boots in the oven on zero heat setting for 10 minutes and then rub that on them and they soak it up like a sponge. three rounds of that keeps them good for six to eight months of rain then repeat

I like your choice in boots. Wescos were the only boot without Gore-Tex that could keep my feet halfway dry in the winter and, maybe not those, but at least the Jobmaster was lighter and more nimber than a pair of Smokejumpers or Nicks.

Put up a few flags.

Nice, is that your driveway or the road you live on?

 

[Bill G]

It is the dead end road coming in.

Taking on the painful task of cutting back this white/hawthorn.
I am about 2/3rds done and I am all nervous & angry from all the thorn punctures.
The heat and bugs don't help either.
I am going to finish this today, no excuses!

At this point I just wanna douse the hedge in gasoline, light it & watch it burn.

There's no more left

AC wall socket power rules!
Battery power would never have made it through this torture.
Still need to collect all that crap, the ducks don't know better and already walk over it!



For evey couple dozen thorn punctures I went deeper into the Hawthorn old growth.
I even utilized my little Makita and depleted a whole battery charge.



I am going to be sick tonight/tomorrow!
Not a single cloud.
