    "New" saw

    I remember when you got that 200. Maybe Milwaukee will make a rear handle version of my top handle so I won't get so much crap for using it on the ground. :lol: Not that that stops me.:/:

    Wild. And sad, really.

    How'd it go today?

    Thanks Burnham. I get things done, but I think Al has me beat by a good bit. I'm just not smart enough to ask myself if I can actually do what I'm about to do. I just jump in and figure out the details later.

    I finally got to work on my stuff today. Oil change and hoses on my backhoe. Pulled my dump truck out of the weeds in preparation for getting it running. First trail hike in months.

    I was officially 6' 2 5/8" at the oncologist last December. Imma chalk that up to hair loss, I've been claiming 6'3" for decades.

    Many of our vintage Internationals, 656, 826, 1256, have 6 volt in series, and most are 3E/4E. It works, but 31S batteries from Fleetpride, or any truck store, are cheap and available.

    Stikine's guiding thread

    I see plenty of black bears. Usually no trouble from them, exception being their affinity for trash cans. There was a bear vehicle incident yesterday on the other road to my lawn mower client, but that is very rare.

    You can start here. They will put different ends on, or even Anderson connectors. Real battery cables are not cheap...

    When you grow up as a poor farmer, you learn how to fix a lot of things. This mobile mechanic thing is growing, there is a definite need.

    Fixed a couple of neglected lawn mower today. Both would have been very expensive JDs when new. Happy custy with more work. Helped jump start a stranded guy at the grocery store. I was happy to help. My friend's uncle Jeremy was reluctant. He doesn't believe in Karma, I guess. I have to...

    I would love to see some big bears someday.

    I think my laptop has finally given up on life. After several restarts, finally have a home screen, Win10, but it won't load a browser. I only use it for YouTube. Is this Microsoft getting revenge, or is it just end of life shenanigans for a six year old laptop?

    How much trimming can a hedge take?

    They tend to not come back if you flush prune, then dig out the roots.

    There are several types, and they have invaded every industry now. The aviation link is probably the cause for the cost, but DMC is completely and totally out to lunch at this point.

    I was just searching for depinning tools for Deutsch connectors. DMC makes the best tools for working with these connectors. I watched a nice video on their pinning and depinning tools, which come in a nice foam-lined hard case, but in reality could all fit in a small coffee cup, volume-wise...

    How'd it go today?

    Drove an hour to diagnose and fix an electrical problem that many people had been working on for about a year. It had a no crank problem. I figured I'd jump the solenoid and see if it could start, then work my way back from there. I grabbed a dmm and checked the battery, a little low, but not...

    The Official Critter Thread

    I was driving on a very narrow woods road a couple hours ago when what I thought were two bear cubs ran out in front of me. Turns out it was a pair of very chubby black labs that had just taken a dip in a pond nearby. I think they were on a mission to get back to the front porch for some...

    I'm confused, are they trying to find the worst contestant?

    I had some trouble with white tailed hornets last year. I tried to live and let live, but they declared war. As per usual, I won. The long video wouldn't load.
