How'd it go today?

[FireFighterZero]

Jenn's horse has repeated bouts with lameness....so new horse day.

Three year old gelding.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Young Daniel also needed a good horse.

His Shorty horse was getting wore out.

 

[Tree09]

Good run Jim!

 

[FireFighterZero]

Weirdly....or maybe not....horses are a business expense.

One nice thing is that I dont work on her 4 wheeler nearly as much now.

I aint a vet! Dont ask me!

Nice pics, Jim

Rich, those 26 estimates, how do you get em written? By hand, typing, secretary, voice to print? Thanks

 

[treebilly]

I write than up by hand and turn them in to the office where they type them up to make sense of my chicken scratch. Then they email or call.
most of these were simple
For example
Remove dead spruce to left of drive
- grind stump ( no clean up).

Do you use a form to standardize?

Thx Rich!

You might need to use more rod, Jim.

 

[Cobleskill]

Burned a few. What rod?

 

[FireFighterZero]

5/32nds 7018.

Speeds it up nicely.

Focused on the Horrible Freight bottle jack!

 

[Tree09]

That'll do!

 

[Burnham]

Indeed it will.

 

[Mellow]

How many years of wear was on that thing?

 

[flushcut]

Fine looking frankencobble!

 

[ruel]

Boat is off the mold! Filling screw holes from the inside, getting a bit more epoxy in the plank joints.

Structurally, only four "knees" horizontally at the topside corners, rub rails along the outside and the keel. Really looking like a boat now!

 

[cory]

Looking more n more seaworthy.

 

[FireFighterZero]

About 8000 hours or so. Late 90's tractor.


The other one I did turned out a bit better I thought.


I was better with the torch on that one. Not pleased with my torch work today. I am sicker than hell though!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Today I had Katy on my mistletoe job with the John Deere. Her first time driving it. Her daddy had tractors. So it was more a refresher course. Nice flat job up the street where I could just road it up. Nice day.

 

[Burnham]

Jim...hopefully no high fever, dry cough....

Stephen...fine piece of work. The lady does look worthy. You are a trooper, long term. We old friends know the hard trail you have traveled there...

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Me, well, I was up yonder.

 

[Merle Nelson]

Huh, have never seen that type of load keeper on a bucket, cool.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Yeah, Stehansen fabbed that up. It's a cut out bucket I reinforced and the tines off a harrow are a log grapple basically. Hydraulics.
