View attachment 399757 The elm tree strikes back..

While wading through the treetop a branch managed to stab me right up the nose.

Now someone please tell me how that manages to happen.

when I first bought my house i was cleaning up and a small branch when between
my eye and corner of my eye lid and was stuck! i somehow got the branch cut off and
my mom called, she was gonna drive me to the ER, I got in the car and it just popped out, pain was gone!
i went to the eye DR and still had the branch with me, he said i was lucky it was green and smooth
or i probably would have lost my eye..... I hope your nose feel better soon!!!
BTW............. last year when i poked my eye, a had a sheild on and the stick went under my
sheild and glasses, some time you get the shaft with PPE

I don't post many pics,,,only of the GTGs. I needed some wood ID'd so I had the camera with me today. Sam, Isaac and I stacked a cord of oak today so I snapped a few pics:

The stacked cord:



10 cord of oak stacked for sale next year:




My helpers, best friends, and the greatest things this side of heaven. I only wished they loved spending as much time at the "woodlot" with me as I do with them. We went bowling afterward so it wasn't all work. Cheers......

Good morning all. Hoping for a dryer day today. I want to finish the honey locust and maybe scope out a few new spots.

Morning midlanders!

FWIW: the Chinasaw cost in parts and supplies comes to about $190 USD. Not too bad for a basically new 65cc homeowner saw.

Better margin of profit from the rest of the pile helps justify the time and expense.

 

[Brettl]

Should be a very nice profit margin. Last 390 I sold went for somewhere around 300 I think. Surprised me, I wasn't expecting that much.

Got about 2 inches of this white stuff and now its raining lightly could be a interesting trip south.

We have a winner---SteveSS nailed it. Western Soapberry is the wood. Anybody ever burned any? There is not a lot of info on Soapberry as firewood.

Nice!

We have mulberry sprout all around the yard but the Lawnboy keeps them in check. End of Augest the only green to be found. Those and the elms sprouting next to the foundation are troublesome to a homeowner.

 

[67L36Driver]

Snowing here. Look like about three inches so far. If it keeps up there may be no school Monday. Likely end up with two grandkids underfoot.

I have come down with a cold and bronchitis is fired up. Too many smokes. Caught it from Barbara who cought it from Toby. Wonderful.

Hey everybody,
Currently working on a mini mac for a friend. The original idle screw vibrated out, went to the flywheel, took out 3 fins on the flywheel, cracked the fuel tank then came out the top of the main body case like a bullet. I've replaced everything that was damaged and picked up a few new pieces for it. My question is, what would you recommend to keep the idle screw from coming out again? I've thought about loctite but am concerned about being able to make future adjustments. Any thoughts?

 

[Locust Cutter]

I was hoping for snow, but we only got rain. Still, I'm not going to complain about 1/2"... Lord knows we need a lot more than that, s l o w l y, to get back to where we should be.

 

[jetmd]

Workshop, loctite small screw thread locker Blue 242 this is made for just this type of application.

I use it on #6, #8 and #10 screws with no issues.

I'm sorry.......

 

[awol]

Steve, loctite may work if you can set it and not have to adjust it again. Try to carefully distort the threads in the carb by squeezing together to make it an interference fit. If that won't work, flatten a small portion of the threads on the screw itself. Coating the screw with silicone gasket sealer before installing may also provide enough resistance to keep it from backing out.

 

[jetmd]

Also you could try Loctite 222MS

Either should serve you well.
