With all this staying at home, I've started getting at those things that need to be done but never seem to make it to the top of the list. Just spend a couple hours filing the gullets out of a 25 inch chain (I know it is not, but it sure feels like it is 200 times longer than the 16 inch!) and then re-sharpening. That thing is throwing ribbons like a ticker-tape parade now! Dressed the edges of on of my splitting wedges. The second one is done for. It had a crack in it that I tried to grind out but by the time I got to the bottom of the crack, it was done for. If I had a bandsaw I'd just cut the top of it off and have a new face to work with. Must have been a defect in the steel. Anyone else getting to the important little jobs that never seem to make the top of the list?
I have been going thru a lot of papers that we don't need any more but need to be shredded. Trying to do some downsizing and organizing.
Nothing special here as this is just like normal for us. Every day is Saturday and we rarely go out anyway and much prefer staying at home. I remember the last time I held a job and how great it felt when that was done and now I could stay at home and didn't even have to answer a phone if I didn't want to. No more meetings either.
I am still working full time, but at home. I am getting a lot done at night. Got pictures of that chain you cleaned up?
Yesterday was my first day of retirement. My list of things to do is longer than my leg, and getting my saws all polished and sharpened is close to the top. I think I am going to get used to this pretty quick.
Same here, my family and I are such homebodies (if that's even a word) we prefer to stay home most of the time. We are not much for going out to dinner (special occasions) we'd rather cook at home, we do funs stuff at the house with the kids as well. My wife and I were just saying other day how we are not much affected like so many others by the lockdown. So many are going crazy trapped at home, we are making out pretty ok. I do missing see friends and family though but playing it safe. Mom was upset on Easter, was the 1st time she said that she didn't have easter with her kids.
comanche79p Congrats on your retirement. Now you will learn how it feels to start the day with nothing to do and by the end of the day you are only half done Now you get to work at your own pace without a lot of pressure.
Congratulations comanche79p! This morning, before I left work, they were saying that there was a lady with 35 years in the company being relocated to our department temporarily due to covid19. I couldn’t help but think to myself that if I had those years in and could retire, covid19 would be making the decision for me! Congratulations on this next step. I hope you adapt well and stay healthy! Let’s see some pics once you get those saws polished and sharpened so we can determine how bad a case of CAD you have
I think Covid19 will be making a lot of people retire. Not being facetious, because there's plenty that have died, but there's a lot of older people in the workforce, and they were working well past the day they could've retired. I know that I'll retire the first day that I'm able to.
This is before I took down a big dead elm. I don’t see any nails in the wood, but I saw plenty of sparks while I was cutting
