How'd it go today?

[NeTree]

Rain, rain and more rain here, starting to flood now. Only 5 days this month that it has not rained. Getting hard to get work done, my guys are geting a bit salty too.

Have you considered mounting the chipper on pontoons?

 

[Rborist1]

No payments here, if I can't pay for it up front, I don't buy it............it just means that it's time to save. I don't like owing anything to anyone, debt is slavery IMHO.

If this keeps up I am gonna have to consider it.

I could pay off a third of it right now, but at 5%, I'll let it ride.

AT 5% that is a decent rate to leverage. Nice job on your credit Carl. I am just starting to try and re-establish some credit at age 50. I have used cash for so long, I seem to have been dropped off the credit map

Day got off to a rough start so all I ended up doing today was running errands and lining things up for the rest of the week. Think I'll go climb a tree out back and make myself feel better.

What amount of interest will you pay term of the loan? Is 5% a fixed rate?

 

[lumberjack]

Paying it off 2 years early would save $4.5k. Last year I was paying up to 30% interest, now that is slavery!

Fixed 5%, yes. I would pay $12.5k in interest over 6 years.

$4.5K would put some nice gold bling around your neck!

Or pay for some of the rubber it all runs on..

Not very civic minded attitude, though . If all the reasonably practical people finagle their way out of jury duty, then you get stupid decisions...obviously that's happening too much as it is.

I actually knew the judge trying the case, and I knew the defendant for the case. That is the trouble with living in a relatively rural area. In short, I had a conflict of interest in the case by knowing the people involved.


I got home about 7:00 this evening. They were late releasing him from the local hospital, and it took a while to get him admitted and settled in.

I will say though, trying to slip a medium glove onto my hands made for my laugh of the day, seeing as I use a Lg/XL glove. I just needed it for a minute while we transferred him into the bed.

 

[NeTree]

Jay, these are what I use for gloves- in XL, of course:

I babysat my grand daughter today. Took her for about a one hour walk. LJ, my Dad did pretty good borrowing money to finance a business and to buy property.

 

[cybergeek23851]

Erik, I could use those, but be ready with epinephrine. and if it gets worse after that, an airway.



Like I said, it was just for that one thing, and since they didn't have a box on hand , I didn't panic, I just made it work for the single task(picking him up, not really needing that much dexterity finger-wise). Had I been doing anything else, not that I would have had to, I would have found at least a large pair to put on.

For shop work, I just usually grab these from my Napa Store, but they are just utility grade(not for medical use...obviously)

So you're allergic to latex....


Nah... nevermind...

 

[Paul B]

Could be a good line " but I am allergic to latex, honest ......'

 

[CurSedVoyce]

OMG I gotta pee............

 

[Fiddler]

ran through a tank with the string trimmer & drug some brush I cut earlier back "rough". Started online econ class and got a couple chapter discussions out of the way. Now kickin' back a watching a the collector on hulu.

 

[Paul B]

did some work, hit the walk in clinic about my chest cough and got some prescrips, picked up jr at daycare and home to make supper.

 

[Old Monkey]

Today was long. Second Monday in a row that my main employee called in sick. He may be sick and he may be reliving his stupid younger years now he is off parole. I don't know. Either way, I think I am going to go looking a for a new guy.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Damn! Why do people have such shitty work ethics nowadays?

 

[Al Smith]

What they don't seem to understand with bad work ethics their tale will go before them for some time to come unless they mend their ways .

 

[Al Smith]

So far today is going okay .I reinstalled the formica top on the kitchen island that I screwed up somehow .This time it was over industrial partical board which is over 3/4" plywood .Needless to say you could probabley support a truck on that top .

I did notice something though .I had reglued the top on my tablesaw extension at the same time I originally did the island and that glue failed also . That leads me to believe there was something wrong with the contact cement .Weldwood gelled type .This time I used the original formula which has been around forever .

Took out a leaning box elder and a small cottonweed this afternoon along with assorted brush. Going to bust out the old house foundation in this area and make some more yard.

Guess I timed it right....first thunder as I was stowing climb line...first raindrop as I closed the garage door...we are no getting slammed hard, been awhile since I've seen it rain so much at once with constant thunder & lightning

 

[MasterBlaster]

Perfect timing, eh!
