So what did you do today?

[jacktheripper]

Yesterday I started drinking not planning to go anywhere. Wife is mad we don’t have a snow shovel and I said I’m not going anywhere to get one. Yesterday afternoon the neighbor calls that she can’t get anybody to clear her driveway. We go up and the skid loader won’t move, the mini and tractor both have dead batteries. Go get a jump pack and get the tractor started. Drive the cabless tractor 3/4 of a mile to my house for fuel, almost roll the tractor because I’m too drunk and frozen to be doing anything, drive the tractor back. I get the skid loader moving and drive that home to do my driveway so I don’t have to buy a shovel, get four other driveways done on the way home. Spent five hours doing driveways, my wife and neighbor think I’m in jail or dead. Somehow got my wife to take me to pick up a Stromboli after all this. It snowed again this morning so I ended up having to buy a shovel anyway. I realized why I don’t drink anymore but I found my 365 Special I though was gone forever digging the snowblower out.

That was a wild read. Take care of yourself, man!

Congrats on finding your lost saw!! Congrats on not dying in the process (or ending up in jail)!!

Chicken pooooooooooooop harvest day !!


It’s -15f right now and a bit chilly. Pile it up and store it to be spread later.

Good morning! I put way to much wood in the stove this morning. Now my bedroom feels good which means the rest of the house is 80+

You can always let some fresh air in.

If I load it up with bone dry ash and let er rip it would be so hot you'd have two old folks sitting arouund in their skivies---and that isn't a pretty sight .

I don’t drink because every time something goes wrong and bad ideas start to make sense. Luckily the neighbors are used to the nonsense. Fifteen years ago there was a lot more chaos going on

The story was giving me Willie vibes

Shower drain leak….

 

[stretch5881]

Might not be the approved way, but clean it the best you can, wipe it down with alcohol, then use a good grade of silicone. That will stop the leak.

My brother used some kind of plastic epoxy on it. There wasn’t enough room to slide the pipe apart.

No need to slide the pipe apart. Just clean what you can see and wipe silicone around it.

I mean there wasn’t room to slide it apart and glue it properly. It was repaired as you described, but with epoxy instead of silicone.

Like Billy says, get the gullet!

 

[jacktheripper]

Milled some weeping birch for my buddy. Beautiful piece with spalting, interesting grain patterns. Used the 394xp, which pulled the 50” .404 setup like a hoss. Biggest width was only about 36” though.

Finally got the whole chain sharpened.
Filed out the gullets with a 7/32 round file and took three strokes off the rakers.

Some cutters are longer than others as I fcuked some of them up and had to redo them. One cutter is filed away completely.

My shower drain leaked and the only access was to pull the shower or tear out the ceiling. The was a 10” access to the water lines that I could get my arm in. I took handfuls of dynaflex and smeared it on. That was probably 2010. We sold the house a few years ago and no leaks yet.

I took the buggy on a ride with a real feel of -5. The roads are terrible and a good 15mph breeze is blowing everything off my roof onto me plus all the snow coming down. Time for a cab.
