Id mill threw it. Copper is pretty soft, may dull the chain a bit though.
Well, I wasn't allowed to take any pictures, but we started on my buddies logging truck last night. Bunks are off, trucks all blocked up level, suspension is more or less free from the cross member we're replacing. Started taking the cross member bolts out and ended up breaking the 3/4" to 1/2" adapter. Decided we were in a good place anyway. He's gonna get a 3/4" drive 1 1/8" and 15/16" sockets today.
Since it's by sons birthday tomorrow (a whopping 6 years old!) This weekend is going to be pretty full preparing for his birthday, plus it's the first weekend of archery so we won't get much work done on the truck till Monday. All good, and more or less part of the plan.

When I renovated the bathroom on our new old house, actually tore it off and put on a new one I got into the space above the small room next to it to run new line upstairs. Sitting on a rafter was a giant ball of electrical tape about the size of a softball and 6 or 7 wires going in and coming out. Not ideal.
Breakfast time , 
At 71 I didn't know if I could still do it. I never climbed for a living. It all started when I was around 50 and needed to drop trees in front of the farm house. I guess that I have been lucky by not having a fear of heights. I used to climb a tree at my childhood home when I was around 10 years old. I would go all the way up to the top and sit up there for a long time. My mother would come out and yell at me to come down from up there.
I fixed it. Good catch.
None of the above. They were sitting on feed piles the guy put out.
Haha, that was me too when I was young. Power Co. came and trimmed neighbors tree in the front yard running along the power lines. My Mom found me sitting on the uppermost branch stumps only feet from the power lines. A storm was coming and the tree was swaying. Man did I get a whooping.
I hate sharpening the 36" chains any more than I have to, so I will try to continue with my "dental surgery" to remove the offending wire.
It if gets too difficult, I'll just mill through it. A lot of boards in that Oak log!

Used to sell firewood for $5 a face cord, deliverd
For air, II rn Schedule 40 Pvc water pipe and fittings change to NPT at the ends. I put a T and a drop enging in a ball valve below each chuck, to catch water and drain it. If you have a nice drier ahead, you don't need that in theory.
I personally wouldn’t use pvc for compressed air . The pipe manufacturers don’t recommend it and here it’s a code violation .
Could really go for those right now fried up in the cast iron skillet on the camp stove! We’re without power or running water since 27 September with earliest possible availability 07 October. It’s bad but not as horrible as our neighbors just to the north of us in WNC
. Praying for everyone.
Not a good idea. PVC is too brittle, and compressed air works like a spring. I had an "I told you so" moment at work. We had PVC installed for water at one of my buildings, and it got converted to air. I said it was a bad idea, argued and argued, finally gave up. When it finally let go, nobody was in the building, but one of the shards busted a window in a truck. The guys I argued with cleaned up the mess, but never did admit that I was right.
Added Edit: I would be interested in how PEX would do as airline. I suspect it would be excellent, flexible, as far as I know it doesn't break, and I believe it is oil resistant. I only use copper fittings, I'm not impressed with compression fittings. I could see it being a good alternative.
I'm glad I followed my instincts! I had some success this morning!
Large brown insulator with a steel screw, and luckily, not as deep as I thought! I can still mill the full 8' for more than 1/2 the log!
That definitely would have ruined a milling chain!

Hope everything is OK my friend.Had one of the shottiest days at work in a long time
Got crap news from the Dr visit this morning, went into work and just dealt with BS after BS after BS
Day ended with me telling the used car manager, “one day I’m just gonna say fook his job and knock your teeth out so you learn to talk properly to people”. My boss was standing next to him. He actually didn’t discipline me, told the guy “Matt’s had a shotty day and you need to change your tone”
Then at dinner….
Actually had a nice refreshing conversation with the usda guy about governments being asinine and not knowing anything
Told me in 5 years the Ash tree will be nothing more than a memory
Great conversation about bow hunting
Our two wives were talking kid stuff
It’s amazing, after a **** day at work, God puts a guy you can connect with at different levels in your path to help you “reset” so your weekend isn’t ruined
A-holz like that need a good attitude adjustment! Glad your boss stood up for you!
Nailed it!
When my great uncles headed west to North Dakota to homestead, they told me they would circle the model T with a sisal/hemp rope to keep the snakes away while they slept under the car. Guess Ben an Elmer were hip back in da day.
You're assuming they had a roof.
