I’m so jelly right now, even if you have to rebuild all the guts it’s still a score! The flame control on those units is so nice, full on weed burner to single wood match. 👍
How'd it go today?

Neighbor Charlie's second cow had twins, so there are three fall calves.

Square peg, round world.
Stove is almost new, works perfectly. They went to an induction. (I thought that was when you'd been pregnant too long)

First day climbing in the rain. Spur job. Ezpz. Seemed like zero dust.
Micro drum chipper is very good for 2-3". 4" max. Feeds well. Mulch direct spray into bare soil on a steep slope.
Unchipped 3"+ limbs and trunk wood to be used for along-the-contour erosion control (soil catches, slowing rainwater, holding mulch).
10' drag compared to a 70- 100' drag to where she doesn't want mulch.

Worked on Widdle Skiddy a little today. I got the broken pipe nipple out and a new nipple/cap installed. Got it cranking, but the gas is old. I'm working on adapting a sawmill gas jug.

Tomorrow I will set the valves in my BR800C. I'm told they dint like being neglected. I ordered a genuine Stihl kit. BR800C is my favorite bpb, by far.

who here has had a silent heart attack? (and had a doctor agree that thats what it was), not trying to be rude or nosey but I'm now realizing I most likely had one at work last month, I've had heatstroke and heat exhaustion multiple times including fainting atleast once that I remember, then on the job last month I started feeling horrible, like heatstroke but not from heat, heartrate 156 in the bucket, dropped to around 120 after an hour lunch break (didn't eat more than 2 bites, couldn't choke food down) and it rocketed to 177 within 30 seconds of standing up, thought it was just the heat but since that job I've been basically unable to do any manual labor, getting weak quickly, sweating a lot, tiring easy, my HRV has been VERY low as long as I've been tracking it (6 months) and I've been experiencing heat exhaustion symptoms even when its not hot out, like today, 30 minutes at 66 degrees just fighting vines in this walnut and I had to come out of the tree because I couldn't physically pull myself around the tree anymore without feeling like I would pass out or lock up
and I quote from last month "Hey boss, just FYI I might have to dip out and go to the E.R because I feel like ass and my heartrate is almost 200 bpm"
shoulda listened to myself

for reference, started climbing at 9am today, 66 degrees and it just rained overnight so nothing is warm, actually quite chilly to me, by the time I got about 40 feet up the tree, MRS with a foot ascender and zigzag, I was so weak I could barely pull the slack out of my rope or start my saw, sweated through my shirt and literally had to take almost a 10 minute break before swinging back across the tree to rappel out and send another climber up to finish, I made like 6 cuts and was in the tree 30 minutes tops
this isn't how I used to be, for a while I was a total animal until the heat got me one time, then the heart thing last month has compounded the issues

I would highly recommend an appointment with a heart doctor. Sounds like what happened to me when I was diagnosed with AFIB. I had been very weak for a long time, always sweating profusely on jobs and never had any energy. When I finally went to the walk-in clinic on a Monday morning instead of going to work, the nurse took my vitals and walked out of the room. She walked back in and said "Mr Fresk, I am afraid I cannot let you go home. I have called an ambulance to take you to the hospital." My heart rate was 185 and she was truly afraid I was going to die.

Yes, 4.5 years ago. Doing great now.
thats very, very similar to what I've been experiencing, sweating more than I've ever sweat before, and no matter what I do for energy I become just useless when it comes to doing any amount of manual labor, sometimes its worse than others, always gets me when I feel like it'll be a good day and all the sudden I can barely even get out of the tree because its too much effort
I'd go see a doctor but medical bills aren't something I can deal with right now, I should probably get insurance, I have medical through the business but I don't want to put anything on my GL insurance if I can avoid it at all, especially since I don't think its work related, I never had a problem till I got my brain cooked from heat one afternoon and I've never been the same
