Tip of the day.

I make sure I wear a wide brimmed hat when blowing out my gutters.

I just use my logging helmet; comes with earmuffs and a face screen...

Another use for pallet forks. I use them to move my deck around and also found I can lean the deck back against the head ache rack to clean the deck and take the blades off for sharpening.

It’s a 2 series, a 2025r.

I have several different wood piles and racks. They all sit on a old dog kennel which is all concrete. My problem is I forget which pile was put up when. I want to use the oldest first. I started writing the year the wood was put up on the posts that held up the old kennel fencing. I’ve also written it on a piece of wood on top of the pile.

Beaded cable ties or beaded bungee. I had trouble even finding what these are called. Most beaded cable ties are much smaller and designed to hold smaller wires together for computers. These are more of a bungee. I mostly use them for binding up my tie downs but have found other uses.

Do those ratchets even work? Gee they are rusty!

 

[dodge man]

Yeah they work. They do have a nice patina on them don’t they. I have some nicer ones.

File cabinet drawers are the only ones big enough in my shop to hold my welding helmets. Keeps them relatively clean. Greens and gloves in the bottom one.

Guess what I found at the transfer station/dump while dropping off scrap!

I asked the attendant if I could grab it and he said "as long as you don't kill yourself - I'm going to go to the bathroom, I didn't see anything"

(Looks like concrete spatter; it's clean inside)

Every set of ratchet straps seems to have its own geometry for getting self-snug - this is just one example, but I've done this with a few different sets of straps.
