    I think you will be happy with a TSC splitter. Get one of the fast cycle ones. We got the 30 ton in '18, it's 3 times faster than our 25 ton yard machine brand.

    I worked with our electrician running new wires to upstairs bathroom. I removed the old medicine cabinet, probably from the 1950's. It had fluorescent lights on both sides, just time to change it.

    The cabinet is metal and had two slots on the back panel. When I took the cabinet out, there was a pile of old double edge shaving razor blades that the prior residents disposed through the slots, probably not ever worrying about them accumulating. Must have been close to 50 of them. There is a gap in the wall, so I expect to find more. Glad I didn't stick my hand down the wall cavity. Project moving along slowly.

    When dildo was named, dildo had a different meaning. No way they'll change the name now, brings too much tourism, from within NL and from all over, when we're not in pandemic mode

    I have the 25 ton county line from Tractor Supply. It doesnt have a super fast cycle time, but I have never really cursed its speed.

    Otter box co was not doing that we'll for a good number of years. There was some split of the company after inception. Hard to say what would've happened.

    The other brands of cases work great, and somepsome of the phones are extremely durable now. When water proof phones were readily available, that too a big chunk out of otter boxes and life proofs business.

    The willow tree is no longer there, so no, it wouldn't hurt it :D. But I can tell you that root is huge (about 2-3 feet from the stump of a tree that was 80' tall). I would have to dig 1/2 way to China to get the saw in there (assuming I didn't hit a big rock and need to dig all the way to China) . I already have one stump that I tried that with a couple of years back (cutting the roots with a sawzall), and that root is still there there, cut about 1/2 way thru. That was a smaller tree.

    Another reason to stop at the big root is that I planted a maple beside the willow stump, and I'm starting to cut thru its roots. Tree is still small enough, and young enough to need what it has - especially during this drought (only planted late summer 2017).

    I wasn't just going to come out and say that - but since you are taking responsibility, yeah, you did :D

    I was going through dildo yesterday, a dodge Dakota pulled out of a side road onto the main road in front of me. Tailgate was down and something slid out of the truck as she made the turn. I couldn't tell what it was from further back but when I drove by the spilled load, it was their fresh caught fish in the middle of the road [​IMG]

    Mark, most are good but you always need to check to be sure a good job of assembly was done. Some have got one with problems but all seem to stand behind them well.

    For us, 30+ years ago I did not know much about them but bought a cheap MTD (foreruner of country line, huskee and others). We decided to go with 20 ton. Most seem to think you need lots of tonnage, but you don't. The lighter ones take less gas and oil, are usually more quiet and if slower,it is only slightly and ours is actually faster than most 35 ton. So we saved hundreds of dollars and are happy. And we''ve split over 300 cord.
