I'm ready to farm out the J-Red to someone smarter and more experienced than I. But, to whom?

That fellow in Stewertsville, Mo. any good with repairs?

Presently makeing a starter adaptor for my 1/2" drill motor. Save stress on my hemroids............................................

Darn you! I spewed out some coffee on that one!

Every day is Saturday here.........................................................

Got a frog strangler this a.m. Rain predicted for every day for a week.

Yup, they be barkin' when I spend too much time on my feet or pulling over some old mag. turd. Humping a 40# rucksack thru the boonies in S.E.A. didn't help I suppose.

What I need for a work bench is a big office desk so I can sit and tinker.

The Lombard's frame (magnesium) is broke in two places.

Happy Lil 142 came in tonight for new bar chain n muffler.

Took a lickin' and kept on tickin'.

It is my Friday so it is good.

I work 9 hour days and get every other Friday off. However, we have mandatory OT so I am working OT tomorrow, my normal day off

 

[Oliver1655]

I normally do 4 - 10 hour days. Then I end up doing wiring & building jobs on the side on weekends as time permits. I have to back off on helping others for the summer so I can get some stuff done at home.

I was blessed yesterday, picked up an assortment of steel drops, approximately 5,000 lbs, for .06 cents a pound. (a 6' long cutting edge, channel, angle, square & rectangular tubing.) I will be building a land grader this next week.

Howdy gentlemen,
One more half day at work, and then I get to decompress for a while then tackle the huge list of projects on my plate.
Hope everybody has a good Friday.

I plan to put a new piston ring in my early 12mm 044. Compression is down to 125, though it was still cutting like a champ when I last ran it. Any tips on where to get a Caber piston ring set? Or should I hold out for a Stihl ring?

got er home and 15 min I was splitting! Its powerful slow! 27sec cycle but the auto split and return allows you to take away from and haul to it!

 

[Oliver1655]

Your spoiled from having use of Alex's splitter.

27 cycle time? I have a 4" cylinder with a 16 gpm 2 stage pump & cycle time is 8.8 sec. Your 8 hp should run a 16 gpm pump. You can find the 16 gpm 2 stage pumps priced from $120 http://internationalhydraulicsus.com/hydraulic-components/hydraulic-pumps/2-stage-pumps.html on up.

Hi John, yes Alex has spoiled me!

Thus splitter from what I understand is the economy model single stage 12 ton capacity. I think it'll work just fine for me. It definitely is NOT. Charity cut splitter!!

Mine is the 26EK30

Morning fellas

Morning fellas

Hey, get a chance to scope out the Strunk? Heavy fellow huh?

Half way thru my little pot of Folgers Black Silk.

 

[Oliver1655]

Morning Mike & Carl.

Mike that splitter has potential. Raise it up to waist height, Get a 16 gpm pump & add an out feed table. Around $200 & it would be a charity cut splitter.

After using the log bucking trailer you saw how handy having the rounds at waist height is. So when you & the Hoskey brothers are cutting wood, consider using the forks of the tractor to hold the logs over a trailer when you are bucking them. This way you won't have to pick them back up off the ground & will be able to work standing up.

 

[Hinerman]

Morning Mike, John, Carl, and all the rest of you good folk. Have a good one today. TGIF. Carry on...
