There were approximately 9,312 different arguments for, or against any process, including crimping, then soldering. :/: Pretty much, if you do any process correctly, you should be fine. Some people said their industry was crimp only (marine). Other said it was solder only (aerospace). I'm going...

I've been on YouTube for the last two hours watching people make arguments for or against crimping or soldering and I didn't realize how late it was and missed my wordle and ruined a 48 day steak. Oh well, first world problems. :lol:

I'd really like to know why some bird needs to set up outside my window and start squawking at first light every morning. I get it. You are a bird. You want to get that worm. But why do you have to tell me about it?

The suspension is a joke, but it sure pulls hard!

My favorite chainsaw model? 394XP/395XP. My favorite actual chainsaw? My Husky 66. It's great having this saw back in action.

I have a small one, too small for the mill. Some of these Anderson connectors will be used to run a 12vdc fuel pump someday when I get my storage tank going. Also, I will be able to have hydraulics anywhere on the mill with a long connector cable to the tractor. If I did have a jump pack, I...

My Sunday load of logs showed up a little while ago. This guy loves cutting trees! I'm glad I don't have to anymore.

Looks like a good set of jumpers is going to cost$$$, although I'm not surprised. As you all know, because I won't stop talking about it, I have Anderson connectors on everything at the mill now. I do have 35' jumpers that will plug into any of these machines, but I want a cable with Andersons...

The universe has a strange sense of humor. A screw fell out of my reading glasses, which I then needed to find and reinstall the screw in the reading glasses, that I needed to see to install the screw...

I got the Anderson plug installed on the mill this evening. Jumping a Wood-Mizer is a real pita. Not anymore. I think I need to experiment with the different dies for the crimper. They sort of squeeze the edges of the lug out, and make an eccentric hexagon. Otherwise, very happy with everything...

The crimper does 1/8" cable up to 600 mcm, so definitely does 2/0. Temco is apparently the legit brand for these things, but the Amazon ones are half the money, and work just fine. You coukd probably find a 6 or 8 ton for $50 to $70 that would work well. Mine is a 16 ton, and overkill for my needs.

I've mowed three times in a year with a 7' field mower.

I did the lawn mowing thing last night for the first time. It's sort of a feel good thing that serves no other purpose than to make you look somewhat neighborly.

I found an empty organizer under the bench. Not full on perfectionist rated, but it's keeping some of the ocd at bay.

I have a bit of a battery cable obsession, which, as obsessions go, isn't the worst thing. I feel that there should only be one style of battery, the 31S, just in five different sizes. ATV, lawn and garden, automotive, truck, and large earthmover.:lol: I have been converting everything I own to...

The old 66 ran very well today. I'm glad I brought it out of retirement. I'd like to find the proper plastic handled brake housing for it. I was given an old metal loop handle when I broke the original, which isn't as nice. It may not have great anti-vibe, and it might not have the greatest...

I need a saw that I can leave at the mill for occasional use, and the only real candidate was my old Husky 66, which has never let me down. I had a nearly new 20" bar, and found a decent chain. Ten pulls and it fired up. After at least ten years under the bench. It doesn't have the snap off idle...

I haven't seen anything that jumps out at me. I think the one on the upper left was trimmed after the tree was felled.

More logs showed up today. Starting to look like a proper sawmill these days.

Got my first load of timber quality logs today. The logger is selecting for my timber list, and matching what the tree yields to the best use. I've been waiting for this for probably 15 years. It's going to allow me to be a sawyer and still know I'm getting what I want. (And nothing that I don't...
