How'd it go today?

Just did that on the one ton. Floor model though. Took 10 mins.

I need to air bath my saws too

Compressed air,... more compressed air, taking the covers off, blowing out around the cylinders, blowing out around the carb/filters, blowing out around the drive sprocket. A good cleaning in general.

I do that approx every 2 weeks to every saw that's been used, and for a 201 we blow off the whole outside of saw and air cleaner at every fueling. My saws generally last for decades.

They just have to keep reinventing the wheel. The heat - defroster used to be dead simple. Nothing to break and you could operate a strange vehicle in the dark no problem. Now you have all these vacuum or electric operated functions that do break and you have to study the dam thing to figure out what does what. Tail gates and hatches are electric release and operated. Just brilliant. Makes them cost more and harder to fix. The hatches you have to sit and wait for the thing. Should be an option. Pisses me off.

Katy now works at one of our auto body shops.
Spot on with more expensive. Between mfg and inflation, cars are horribly expensive tofix and more often totaled than repaired. Bad hit on that part of the industry. They only get a paperwork fee to total a car vs parts mark up and labor for fixing.

Drove to Baltimore for the expo today. Hopefully the show goes well. Not impressed with the parts of the city I’ve seen. Of course I don’t like most cities

Body work adds up pretty fast. Remember when you could get a car painted for a hundred or two? Now what is it, a thousand or two?

Well, my trip out to Stephen has been delayed. This is a special kind of irritating. I don't like letting people down or being in any way unreliable. That said, I'm kind of at the mercy of others and their own hectic schedules.

On the bright side, Dave and his brother Dawson have basically forced me to move in. So I have a room, and can stand up to put my pants on. Scrubbed the bathroom yesterday, and now have clean hot showers. Life could be worse. Now I've just got to hustle up some work in the area once I get back.

Worse ways to kill time in the holding pattern, but my feet itch, so all the while I'm trying to be there, rather than here.

Finally starting to cool off around here. I've been burning peg shavings and rejects to try and offset oil. That's working, for now, but I know what's coming.

I have lots of free wood if you want some 😬😆

 

[Dave Shepard]

I have plenty of wood, too, I just can't process it anymore.

We have a shop about an hour away that rebuilds in house, i love them. I've considered learning myself tho for the convenience, would be super handy to be able to fix that stuff correctly and then not have to bother anymore.

I think I our nearest "rebuild shop" is 3-6 hours depending.

Took the rifle for another walk today...nada. Saw a couple does driving back.

All of my Dutch barn restoration photos were on the farm computer from before I had a smart phone or a laptop. Several years ago my sister gave me a portable hard drive and emailed me the photos. Maybe three years ago I tried to access the photos, and there was nothing on it. I thought they were lost forever. An hour ago I tried, and succeeded, to find that email. An hour of downloading and unzipping, and I now have 5,565 photos to sort through and organize. It's nice to win once in a while!

Was heavenly out today relaxing in the desert.

Found a coyote den (not currently in use)

Oh! The black stick. I thought it first someone had burned the bush, but upon closer inspection. It looks like something killed it.
