Maybe they are cheaper by the dozen?

I think that's @unclemoustache dept.

That's real odd, but then again, my exmark that burned a very little each month, blew up last month, it was at least two quarts low . Okay, now I just need to think of someone to blame it on.
I wonder if that dude did it . When I first got mine I had all the lug nuts loosen up on the back left wheel, it ended up cracking the wheel and I loose the ballast out of it a bit now and then. I had a buddy "fix" it, but it still leaks a little sometimes. When I replace the tires on the back I'll probably repair it(weld it up) but also install a tube so when I want to drain the ballast all I have to do is hit the original air valve with a bit of air to push it out of the tube.


I made a redneck truss crane to lift my 32' trusses. Then I pulled the two gables back down and put the overhangs on them and rehung them, wish someone would have said something before I installed them @Honyuk96 .
Kinda hard to see, but it's a 5/8 rope tied off on a tree on one end, the other end was hooked to the back of the tractor, then the middle was running thru a pulley that was held up by another rope pulled up thru the crotch of another tree. On the 5/8 line I had a pulley with a lanyard to connect the trusses to, then another rope to pull that pulley/the truss across to where it needed to be. I had an hr or so setup into it, but it was very fast to use. It worked so well, when I dropped the gables down and re-installed them, it was just me and the boy doing it.

May be it was you I stole the idea from? I pretty clearly remember someone posting something similar but with a rope and pully system. I was thinking it was winch Controled... but yeah. Gotta do what you gotta do, right?

The sad part is that I know nothing about these cameras of any type of surveillance/security cameras.

I get cheap tail cameras, if they get stolen or vandalized, not much to cry about

Tractor supply has them

Walmart will have their cheap ones on sale near the end of hunting season. Def not the best quality, but I grabbed up a Tasco and Bushnell branded trail cams for sub$20.00 and around $28.00 for the Bushnell.

I'd like to find a pair of leather work gloves that don't get torn up by firewood the first day.

I like the goatskin ones (can get them at HD, but often have to order them online).

I find them to be both softer and more durable than the regular leather gloves, and no more expensive.

Yesterday I actually did some tree felling! My grandson got me involved in a volunteer project (through Scouts) to remove some apple trees from in front of a church.

I brought 4 saws and used them all! Two were ported by Randy, two by Dr. Al. (261-18"; 462-20"; 462-24"; and Hybrid 440-460-28"). All the felling was done with the Hybrid. The trees were not tall, but the trunks were wide and irregular, and one had a lot of rot. There were also a million limbs, some of them leaning towards the building. Some branches had to be shortened in advance so the tree could fall properly.

These were the first two, there are more to come.

With the help of some wedges, all went well!

Man, those are some ugly irregular trees.i wouldn't even try to figure how to fall one of 'em.

I like the 'nitrile' type cheap, thin, good feel for doing bar nuts, last longer than leather and can be patched with gorilla tape for extended life. Guy gave me a big box of new leather gloves and I haven't even opened it.

I may have posted a picture of one offline, my buddy has one. He also has a very beefy stump puller, but I wouldn't want to borrow anything from him, you'd have to return it looking like it just came from the powder coating shop .

Didn't know if I should post this here or in the 'Craig's List Laughs'.
https://stlouis.craigslist.org/grd/d/saint-clair-black-walnut-saw-log/7676826609.html
Seems excessive for one log, $600-$700. 20-22" x 10' log, approx. 160 BF. More importantly, one hour of sawing time... $600!

Drives me nuts, the gloves I like used to be $5 at tractor supply, now they’re freaking 15!!!

Bidenomics needs to end!

 

[MechanicMatt]

This one’s just for laughs, I told my wife I’d have them made into a purse for her…

She didn’t find it humorous
