How'd it go today?

Miniloader sprung a leak yesterday after doing the bulk of the work.

Brought the micro-x for the second half of a small clearing job of 26 trees.

 

[cory]

I didn't know you have a micro ex

 

[SeanKroll]

It's a toy/ experiment/ light- duty tool.

I'm going fir a different daily driver 4wd work truck/ van before a real mini-x.

It's light- weight and small. Can barely swing over the dump trailer wall when at max reach. A flatbed trailer would load over the side better (lower).


A hydraulic thumb is nothing compared to a rotating grapple.

As a tip, 3 Benjamins and...



6 packs of fish: Blue fin tuna, coho salmon, ling cod.


I've got a bunch of last year's beef and berries to eat up. The calves are growing and going to slaughter in s month.


If you've ever heard of Eberhardt blueberries from California, they started spitting distance from my house, later to move south. Free picking. I may go prune some there tonight. It's overgrown.

Hauling off the cottonwood. Too long, cut off the tail and drop it on the front.



Got this from a friend customer. Big euc we dropped a whole back.



These guys were super lucky I decided to go dump at the brush pile. They backed into the leaf pit.

Wrapped up a day and half gig, nothing big or particularly note worthy just a lot of a lot of little stuff and a creek clearing. Storms washed in a lot of crap and blocked the culvert. So it comes time to collect and she asked how I want to be paid. I say cash, check, or puppy. She has the cutest sweetest 6 month old female Rottweiler. This little gear thief ganked my 1/2” loopie and mini block, prancing around like she knows who killed Kennedy. But I left with a check.

 

[Kaveman]

I'd have probably left with the rotty, but I'm a silver tongued idiot...

 

[flushcut]

Believe me I tried. I even offered a weeks worth of extra work. No dice.

Sawmill quit in the middle of making a casket log yesterday. This project started a year ago, but I didn't know exactly what it was. Yesterday he tells me it's for his wife, who died last week.

I have two makes two cuts, one on the bottom di it sits level, and one on the top for a lid.

 

[flushcut]

That's cool! Better than a pine box.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Yeah. I'm not in favor of fancy caskets, or burial at all, for that matter.

 

[flushcut]

Burn me up and scatter my ashes to the four winds. No urn, no place to visit, just back to nature is all I ask.

“Gold, silver, guns, ammo…” 😁

 

[flushcut]

“Gold, silver, guns, ammo…” 😁

I really wanted the puppy.

That looks expensive, @davidwyby...

 

[Dave Shepard]

Did you pull that termination off the line?

 

[davidwyby]

Some solar co declined advice from
The American sand association

Now they pay

There are two more semis out there

I think I got it. Maybe needs set more

5,000 lb welding table with a big vise should do it …
