    How'd it go today?

    I can send you that one if you like. I don't need it. I'd have to inspect it to be sure it's good enough, but it's yours if you want it.

    How'd it go today?

    Hauled some spruce logs to the backyard in the jetsled. They've been in the driveway since I brought them back from the dead spruce job Mike and I worked on. I'd have used the wheelbarrow, but that would've cut deep grooves in the squishy ground. I built Spot's sunview/wind shelter. It's too...

    Before August? I hope it's significantly sooner than that.

    You could also do classic listerine, or better yet, one of the cheapo clones. The alcohol will numb your mouth a bit, but it's also antibacterial, along with the thymol and eucalyptol which are also antibacterial.

    Depends on exactly what kind of toothache I think. Clove oil is supposed to help. If you have whole cloves, you could gently chew some of those.

    Had to unload the locust I cut a couple years ago, and I got started stripping bark... Broke my sappie handle banging on logs to free them, but it's still useable... The reason we did that was to load logs I cut last year. Some cedar for me, and some 16' locust for the boss to build a pole...

    If anyone cares... It appears there's no such thing as a "thickness gauge" in this context. I guess it's just a peculiarity of being translated from a foreign language. The different colored stars are to show which rotation of the crank the various valves get adjusted at. I found a video online...

    Is there anything to do on the train; food? Drink? or do you just wait?

    How'd it go today?

    I thought I'd review the valve adjustment procedure. I haven't done this stuff since my air cooled Vdubs, and I'm not familiar with a "thickness gauge". Anybody know what that is? They specify a feeler gauge and a thickness gauge. I've only used a feeler gauge.

    Fallston Tree Service. They're more into lot clearing than arborist type work, but I think they do everything. The sparker definitely isn't sparking, and I'm hoping the igniter fixes that. One of the pins that never should pass current was passing current, so I'm thinking there's a short in the...

    Bastards charged my $29 tax :^D Oh well. Coming from Germany, and it'll hopefully be here by Friday. If not, it'll be early next week.

    ...Worst case is it puts me about even money with the expensive one, but I have to wait to see if the chipper works. I want to install the part and see 3 cylinders firing, or at least not have doubt in my head about why 3 cylinders *aren't* firing. I think I'm talking myself into the expensive one.

    How'd it go today?

    Worked at our tree service client today. Nice pile of logs... Big boy stump grinder... Finished up, ate lunch, then fooled with the chipper. It appears to be an igniter problem, though in reality, I'm probably on the 'part at a time' plan, and this time next year I'll have a brand new...

    Looks good! What did you put on the handle?

    How'd it go today?

    Worked with Mike on a silver maple prune. Mike climbed. Everything went really well, but the chipper's running like shit. I swear I lost another cylinder there for awhile. Shut it off, start it again, and it's just loping along at ~900rpm at full throttle, and won't take off. Shut it down for a...

    The polypro filled with fluff? I hate those lines. Unfit for almost any purpose.

    Last rope in the list is this 1.25" 3strand with a working load of 4232# https://www.homedepot.com/p/T-W-Evans-Cordage-1-1-4-in-X-600-ft-Twisted-Polydac-Poly-Dacron-Combo-Rope-Reel-1852/207048314

    How'd it go today?

    For kicks I looked up rope on home depot. Looks like the same junk I remembered. They list rope strength as working load. Anyone know what ratio they use? That's annoying. It doesn't say much about the rope. Give me the break strength, and I'll decide what the working load is.

    Looks like a decent piece of locust. How'd you get it down(presumably not on the shed)?

    How'd it go today?

    From riding a bus with a bunch of little pestilence vectors. Heat was probably too high also, so the germs could ferment nicely.
