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 😬😆

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

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.

I was told at 5 am to hold off and then another message at 7 am saying it was a rain out today. Almost broke my heart😭 getting a day off. I finished winterizing the camper, straightened up the garage, and filled gas cans and propane tanks by lunch. Went with the wife to the store and got the backs cut to size for two book shelves for the girls. They got them painted while I cooked dinner. Now I’m at basket ball with the boy. Tiny gym with 30 kids trying to dribble. I was good until now. Needless to say I have a pounding headache and a half hour to go

Got a call yesterday morning from the owner of Arizona Custom Railings, he's a friend of a friend, and had two of his guys pull a no call-no show. Well, he does a lot more than railings, and I spent yesterday on a roof, as well as half of today. Then I did some siding, and another small shed roof. Tomorrow I throw more shingles. With any luck, I'll get another dirt bike ride in with the boys on Saturday, before I catch the train Sunday night.
While I do hope this fellow has work for me when I get back, it's not what I want to do, and he don't pay near enough for me to want to do it. Nice guy, provides all tools, transportation, drinks and lunch, but I'm valuable.

Kind of a shit day. Overcast and rainy. Chipper didn’t want to start because for some reason we still use distributor caps in 2024. Got it going and back to the job before lunch. I cleaned up the mess while two others were supposed to be pruning in the back. They couldn’t seem to get a line set in over two hours. I left after the front was done. I had enough for the week by then. Needless to say I’m not in the best mood. Also patiently waiting to watch an old man and young smart ass pound each others heads in.

Crappy weather here today but I took some lads out for some hazard tree training in a campground. Nothing overly complex but they cut a leaner hemlock and a good size spruce down. Sorry, no pictures taken since I can't upload anyway. Did I say it was crappy weather? Better than being in the office though!

We hauled the "easy" spruce rounds back to the compound for eventual cabin firewood supply. Thank goodness for a stakebed truck with a lift!

So, I finished out the roof I was working, got paid a little extra. I've definitely got my foot in the door when I get back. Seems Ivy (my new boss?) has had issues with employee quality, and attendance (don't we all know that song?) apparently I'm already his best employee... seems I've sung this song recently too...
Ivy comes very well recommended, and I've talked with his crew, and folks around town. Looks like I may have stumbled into a bit of good work. We spoke today about exploiting his connections for some potential tree work.
I catch the train for California on Sunday night, and I feel really good about my back trail. I've got a job and a place to be, and a brighter future ahead of me.
Oh, Gertrude blew a mainseal and is down, again, but since I'm no longer stuck in the woods, I couldn't care less right now. I'll deal with that when i get back. For now, Dave has loaned be one of his dirt bikes, a 1980 Honda XL 500S. Rides really plush, and humms along at 80 as happily as she does 8.
Speaking of, Dawson, Dave's little brother and I are going riding tomorrow. Dave may join us ĝafter work. Daws and I are gonna go burn some dino juice in the woods. I belive we're going to ride the Water Canyon trail, outside of Springerville, if anyone cares lolz.
