I'm still on the job doing some work for a customer friend, yesterday my nephew and me, split a LOT of wood for him, we also helped him put a bridge over a creek.
We had to snake some long heavy I-beams back through the woods and here's how I did it,
It was a long day but at least we got a lot done.

Was thinking about you last night heading to and leaving Freemont.
I'm thinking of building a shed on 6x6s to avoid taxes on a platform similar to your deck. Are those 2x8 joists? What's the span of the 6x6s? Mine will be for lawnmowers and garden equipment.
Find some black locust to build it on. Depending on the size 2x6 with a 3/4" OSB floor is fine. I used 2x8 with 3/4 tongue and groove OSB for a 10x12 with the 2x8 spanning the 10', it's held up great even with my zero-turn mowers in it.
I'm getting ready to build a chicken coop, 7-8 or 8x10. I already have 4 locust logs vertical in the ground from the current coop, I'll probably use those to build off of, but I'll probably add two more further out as the current coop is 4x8. I'll be using all 2x6 for the base as it will not have any weight in it.
25-06 is a fantastic choice. I really liked mine
I thought it was a crack in the concrete!
I saw Bernoulli's principal mentioned. Although not a mathematician not do I play one on tv, there is a formula for octave and pitch. A local man who is a mathematician had us build an instrument based on a Bernoulli involute. I cut it on the water jet and the lads machined it on the bridge mill. That was a few years ago. Yesterday we were making a different design for the same guy but based on Bernoulli's math. Except instead of aluminum, this one was highly valuable.... Yup. Black walnut.

Don’t forget to close the rear hatch on the topper before pulling out of the garage
Took two weeks to get the replacement . Needed the whole window and frame . Wasn’t cheap

Can’t wait for 5 o’clock!!!
What a day!
Assistants uncle passed in the early morning, good tech and great guy- his father in-law has a stroke around 9am, shuttle driver gets rear ended and taken away in a ambulance around 10:30, three angry customers-two are from techs being lazy. One the lady is just a miserable person…..
GM announces that NY state is mandating that by 2026, 35% of our new vehicles sales need to be electric or they will hold back our allocation of ICE vehicles
Techs don’t want to do the electric car training because they don’t want to work on them. Boss says, but they wear electric safety rubber gloves. Lead teach says, if there is a absolute gorgeous girl that wants to have sex, but she is HIV positive, I don’t care if I’m wearing a rubber, I’m not sticking my d1ck in her. I gotta agree with him, big boss nods cause he understands.
Dunno how I’m going to get 15 guys 100% EV certified in a year, when it was hell convincing the three I do have certified to get certified. (They still don’t wanna work on them, but did the training outta respect for me)
I think I just heard Jimmy Buffet say, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere…..

Days like this suck Matt. Hope your beer(s) are cold. Only thing I'll say about the mandate is there's a new sheriff in town.
Thinking NY and Cali are going to back off on the EV mandates . Washington will no longer have their backs . Not being political just saying .

I hear you bud. I took on a management position out of necessity this spring and it can be exhausting. I'm still labor force, but I get to make the lions share of the unpopular decisions that have to be made for a business to keep moving forward.
I feel your pain Matt! We've all had the days that suck. I hope things turn around at work for ya. Remember you have your beautiful family to come home to, don't drag the work stuff home. Personally I struggle with that. My wife will remind me that I'm not at work.
The EV thing is unfortunate. Does GM pay extra for EV certification? Sounds like they need to step up and pay the piper since they're shoving it down your throat.
Thankfully, here in the independent world we're a few years away from working on EVs beyond tires and brakes.
I had fun today...we had a 2019 Jeep with a head gasket failure. I'm usually the one to get these kind of jobs. Started at 4 yesterday and it looked like this at 3.
Here's all the parts to get to this point...
Unfortunately the customer must've been driving it like this for awhile and the hot combustion gasses burned away the deck surface on the block. Both intake camshafts had wiped lobes so it would need both @ $500 ea.(Local dealer stocks them.) Now the bill will go from $2500 to 5-9k depending on what the customer chooses for an engine.
It's a shame that we're even doing this, it only has 100k on it.
Taken "somewhere in MI" by my buddies kids friends dad, he won't say much more, but lives here in town.
