    I just met with the guy with the deep cycle batteries. They are mine, I just have to haul them home. 24, 6 volt batteries from his off grid solar setup. Now I'm looking for a controller to use then as grid tied backup for the house.

    I made good progress on the tractor today, despite frozen fingers. One of the battery nuts was seized, I've never seen that before. Now the stud just spins in the battery.

    The Humboldt is primarily for speed of production

    I'm primarily cutting logs to make timbers. I've been burned many times by huge open face cuts. Pull an extra six inches of tape if you are going to do that. Humboldt eliminates that issue.

    Mulberry, Osage orange, a black locust all are fluorescent under a uv light. I think they share other properties as well.

    I haven't gotten them home yet, but I've been gifted 24, 12volt batteries grim an off grid solar system. They upgraded to lithium. Researching grid tied backup. Keep it topped off on the grid, then have backup during an outage. A day or two with no power would be very unusual. I have a propane...

    TIL: if you put your frozen pizza in the oven, then go to the basement to diagnose your oil burner, you can use the pizza to resole your work boots.

    Just got the text that the fall cleanups are done. So, I guess I'm done. It's BS, there's a week of work, but he doesn't care, I'm pretty sure he's dumping the lawns this winter. I'm relieved, I need to work on my tractor and run the sawmill. I am glad we ended on good terms. Hopefully I hear...

    Gaskets arrived at 2:00. I got the fuel system moved to the new head, then had other fires to put out. It's 30* and dropping, so no mechanicing by flashlight tonight. I'm pretty confident I can get it together tomorrow, but we all know about feeling confident.
