What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

I only have the small stuff, but love it. I have the larger ones by Chraftman but seldom ever use them. Too heavy for my arthritic hands.

 

I help out when Mom is very busy with kids. It could be left for her to do later but it is nice to get it done and have stalls be cleaned sooner. Not sure about anything else living in there yet. There have been some discussions about chickens, goats, Doberman goats (I'll have to call wildwest or Grizzly Adam about these), and we have a new bat house that we haven't even hung yet lukem , I think that is a good idea you passed along.

 

Caffeine going in, time for some cereal, shower and see what we can get done on barn. We think we will start batten boards today.

 

Sitting here drinking coffee and watching it snow, it don't get better than that!

 

I recently sent our new Milwaukee Fuel cordless drill back for warranty work...it started acting all kinds of crazy. It would speed up and slow down despite what you were doing with the trigger...go forward or reverse despite how you had it set...it would even work when you had it set it "neutral", and the light would stay on as long or as short a time as it wanted. Oh, and the chuck would lock onto your bit and you could NOT get it loose without a large wrench. No surprise they just sent us a new one...it works fine for now, but it has done the chuck locking thing a time or so already...that's how it started with the other one. They have a good warranty...good thing!
Never had these problems with the old Milwaukee cordless drill, it basically died of old age and hard use...heck, we haven't even used the new one that much yet...

 

Monin all... ... we've decided to sell the "beast" (King Quad on tracks)... we just don't use it that much and the JD tractor will do all I need. I posted an ad to the Classifieds here. Have a good day...

 

We just had the chuck locking thing repaired on one of the drills.

 

Nice! That's a great toy AND worker. I need to post my 210C here as well. Now that I have this particular job done I am going back to a tractor with a removable backhoe so I can do three point hitch work and only have one machine to care for.

 

Nice afternoon yesterday to get a truck load of mix-locust-ash-maple. Only took myself and my good friend murphy's law about 1.5hrs to get done. It was almost embarrassing how bad I was yesterday!

 

Don't worry bout that. We ALL have those days our friend!

 

There is a thread here with shepherdsome in title started a goat farm... ummm fuzzy need more

 

My busy season went from ballztothewall to a screeching halt last week. It usually drops off slowly from mid Oct to Xmas then falls flat on its face .
DOT physical was Monday . Passed but Dr said lay off the caffeine .Miffed cuz it was my Gogo juice. Placebo goin in now.
Sitting here watching a squirrel trying to get into a bird feeder I built this fall LMAO ! Good BP therapy .
I got some equipment shopping to do the next week. My main haulers are going in for major surgery next Monday so I'll have the week to get shopping and I'll get at the maintenance on the support equipment.
Lil woman's taking her oldest into the Dr today ,,,,,,,, looks like I may be a gramp !!! I've defied aging and the last year has knocked me down a couple notches . Haven't been taking it well. I keep telling myself , it is what it is.
Merry Xmas everyone!

 

They asked me 1 time about why so much.. apparently road commissioner is close by... after tornado I was giving away ice apparently he came and got some so he knows my drive.. I have taken tons.. his response he pays taxes.. we give residents sand for driveways but for 40 dollars he can do it! for 200 I will make it work...

 

I hate it when people paint nice looking wood, so I like either of your ideas. I am partial to the clear coat myself, but staining would look good too.

 

You will like that! I have a couple of Ryobi 1+ tools; UPS just delivered a reconditioned brad nailer - no more hauling the air compressor to the main floor for little jobs . Also got a weed wacker (don't use one often and it is lighter and I can start it) as well as a saw for cutting down saplings. Extra batteries go on sale at HD on a regular basis.
