What are y'all working on today?

Roger, the battery should be good for 10+ years. This is a Boston Scientific unit that apparently has resistors that will allow me to run saws and use a welder.

I have been a runner for over 40 years, so my heart take has always been low. I was hospitalized in 1988 or 89 and it dropped below 35 and the alarms went off and the staff ran into my room in a panic.

I hope it will give me more energy and help my mental acuity.

 

Maybe your just in that good of shape

Didnt lance arm string have a really low rate?

You ought to have more energy now!!!

 

Peanut butter works, a lot of the time you don't need any bait. Sit the trap with baited side right against the wall.

Here is what I use for pest control.

 

I think it will be a huge improvement Gary. Especially in the energy department.

I am glad to hear that they have now made improvements so that you can continue on with your hobbies and other interests. I did not know this. That is great news.

 

That was my first question to the electrophysiologist when he recommended a pacemaker. I do not cut much wood now, but plan to buy another sawmill in the future and would need to be able use a saw.

 

You also have been known to run a saw at a GTG or two!

 

I really liked your 5200 bow saw Gary at the GTG.

 

my dad just had that done for the same reason. His heart couldnt pump enough blood to keep him stable. He would walk around for 1min (nothing strenuous) and be completely worn out. He said the pace maker gave him alot more energy once he was post opp for a week. He said the extra blood flow really helps and has also helped with his Oedema (water retention problems) too. He used to take water pills all the time and now he is getting back to normal.

Hope the pacemaker help keep you young!

Modded the muffler on the MS 192T this morning and adjusted the H & L jets. It starts better and has improved throttle response.

 

Put a picco set up on the echo 4500 that I just bought. New to me saw that came with NLA coil. I just happen to have a parts saw with good coil and ignition module.

That 20" LP picco set fit perfect on the 4500 with 70dl.

 

Cutting up storm damage trees.

And I havent even got into the big stuff yet!

I cut up and got all the easy stuff that the cherry pickers usually get first. Will come back later for the trunk. Most are too lazy or dont have a saw big enough to cut that part. Its probably 24"+ diameter. Just a couple big crotches to cut out.

Easy to get except the fact its on the side of a highway so the truck sits on a big slant while loading and keeps me from being able to move however I want due to the curve.

 

got the ol' 6800i makita out today and cut some trees down for gtg.


Got the wood chips spread for the cutting area for gtg.

 

Way too nice of a night to be inside. So I puttered a bit with the three point hitch on the farmall m. I got the tabs welded in that will hold the lower links, stabilizers and lift cylinders. Probably going to start on the mount for the hydraulic controls.

Smoked my first blade on the dewalt dw872 dry saw. No teeth missing, just dull. It can be sharpened. Still, this sucker rocks. If I had it to do again, I would have bought this sucker long before I bought my plasma cutter.

No pictures, phone is being a duck weed.

 

Cleaned up a few parts for the Mac 805 and making a list of what I need to bring her back to life.

 

Went picking at one of my secret hot spots. Got two full boxes of random chain off rolls, tons of master links including some 1/2" pitch I think, also a tin Oregon chain sign, 4x homelite chainsaw file holder/handles, and some other stuff...

 

I need to go pic some of the places I have found in the past. Some of the saw shops I have been too

 

Yea I travel the state for work so I usually look around or ask about any small engine shops in the area and slowly work my way in. After a few hints about unloading old stuff in the way I can segway into getting some good stuff.

 

I get tired of seeing homeowner huskies and poulan wood sharks and wild things though!

 

Why hate on the WT's, those are usually the easiest to swap fuel lines on and have fully adjustable carbs. Easy money to fix with little breakdown time. Anything over $25 fix and I tell them to go buy a new one. Now would I want one to actually run? Hell no!

I did have a guy with a thick accent call me and ask for a $50 saw which I have none of in my shop, at all. He then proceeds to tell me that he needs to cut down 50-60 big trees with it. I actually laughed out loud on the phone and had to tell him 6x I had nothing for him.
