How'd it go today?

[cory]

What town?

 

[BeerGeek]

I imagine it's St. Petersberg, where Andrey is from.

I was fuggin around with the rust rot box that is the plow truck. Blown break lines and snow coming. Fix but not repaired. Salt is evil.

 

[Cobleskill]

You probably know about Cu-Ni lines. For anyone that does not they are the way to go in the salt belt. More money but you won't have to do it again.

Managed to hold the fiddle & get a few notes out of it today.
Elbow still hurt so put it back away...coming along slowly though.

Boss stopped over & paid me my last small check for the season.

Can you pet the dog wirh that arm?

 

[Fiddler]

Guess I could, but I'm normally a right-handed belly scrubber.

Winter storms are supposed to roar in over the weekend so I spent all afternoon moving trailers to a lower elevation (2000') so we have a fighting chance at working if we get hit with snow at our elevation (3200')

Good hustle

When you move your gear lower, where are you putting it?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

12 miles down the hill and centralized to our work area.

 

[lxskllr]

I guess what I mean, is it property you and/or Rob own, friend's place, side of the road... ?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

One of my buddy's has the chipper. And I left the lift and dingo at our gated club house.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I also have customers that will baby sit kit

Is it still drought by you, so lots of now will be a blessing?
Like the 27 feet in the Sequoias in 11, when me and rhe boys went climbing.
I remembee the Kern river was a raging monster.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Yeah, we need more snow pack than rain. Especially with regards to burned out areas. Rain = heavy erosion

 

[Maximalist]

Tonight, after work, I went to the Stihl store for a New Year's sale - I bought myself a few things -

 

[lxskllr]

I like the retro logo shirt. Bet they're expensive. I should make a road trip to the sawshop, and see if he has any of those, and what they cost.

 

[Nutball]

I like how it is all in english

 

[lxskllr]

English seems to be a default language most people will understand to some degree. I buy snus from Sweden, and many have English names and descriptions despite having no formal presence in any English speaking land.

I went up the 70’ poplar spar in my backyard to get the blood flowing. I wanted to see how the 395xp (28” bar) felt on the saddle. I kept thinking I was caught on something during ascent 😂. I was able to start it cold and manipulate it on spikes. The added weight made my instep hurt faster. It’s quite different than a 50cc saw! Next time John comes over we will chunk it down. Small drop zone would need to be cleared each time.

 

[lxskllr]

Been meaning to mention it you. You might want to consider dowel rods between the chunks. The idea is to cut straight through inserting the two rods as you go, then rolling the chunk off. Fishing swivels on the ends attached to throwline and your saddle to keep them with you. It isn't something I've done, but have read others doing it. Maybe someone can clarify if I got it wrong.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Used that on a big pine.
I drilled a small hole through two dowels to run throw line through. Long enough to tie a crab on each length of string and kept clipped to my d rings.
As I cut a curf, I would slide them in behind the saw. 3/8ths I believe.
Only needed two to roll the slab off. The dowels were about a foot long. Once the chunk rolled off, they would fall to my sides.
Tip: put some heat shrink on the throw line. Keeps it from tangling on something as easy.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I also have mini wedges set up that way to pop into the curf as needed.
