Good morning!!!!

[kenmbz]

Here is Zoe on a good day with no distractions.

The opposite of my dog, whichever way you want to go, she will go the other or just stop and try to hold me back.
Zoe looks to be having fun and is getting big, nice dog.

Great video PopG

Zoe, so well behaved

I’ll repeat-
No distractions……
She has the ability, but…..

Thanks for sharing PopG. Boyo would be in the next county. In a couple of weeks We will be going to a new Vet and Vet clinic for the first time. I've only been in a Vet's office once in the +2 years We've had him due to our former clinic's Covid 19 "drop off-wait-pick up" policy. This should be "interesting."

Here is another. This was from a “down”. Admittedly I didn’t tell her to come, only told her that she was free.
She did come when called at the end, but I thought it was pretty funny.

84F and Fair @ 14:30, HI 86F, heading up to around 86F for the day's high.

Spent the night in the garage planting winter squash and pumpkin seeds with the overhead door open, getting those watered in - it was very relaxing and quite pleasant ...

Seemed like a better way to go (as opposed to sharpening blades), given the hand cramping.

Got 5 seeds planted in pots (one seed per pot) for each of the following:

Winter Squash:
Hubbard Golden
Hubbard Blue
Guatemalan Blue
Pink Banana Jumbo
Sweet Meat

Pumpkins:
Big Max
Mammoth Gold
Kentucky Field
Small Sugar

Limited it to 5 seeds per variety to minimize the watering burden until they can be gotten in the ground. Will probably plant more eventually, as the existing ones get planted. Still have several varieties I haven't gotten to yet.

Plant order from Burgess finally arrived, haven't inspected it yet.

Woman out doing purchase returns and laying in a stock of cat food for the beasts before her departure in a couple of days.

First item on my agenda for the rest of the afternoon is to water plants in pots around back.

Then probably work on getting decking boards cut for shelving.

If I can get enough done for another shelf, maybe load the pots in garage and get those moved around back and set out.

Beyond that see what else comes up.

Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday ...

She took you literally ...

Thanks for posting that ...

I thought I needed to paint a realistic picture. She is far from a well behaved dog, but she loves people, and we are constantly working on manners. Ask Dennis,Drew or Ken. It it doesn’t matter if they love her, she is going to fawn over them.

From what I can make out in their parts lists, there isn’t any. The stapler can fire 2 staples per second, so they aren’t driven by air, nor does it exhaust any. I’m guessing that they are mechanically loading a piston in a captive gas cylinder and using that stored energy to drive the staple like a spring.
It’s also very frugal with power consumption. May Frits will put his analytical engineering abilities to work and give us his thoughts.
Bu regardless HOW it does it, it really does it well.

That is surprising, because in my mind the difference would be having an outlet on the cylinder vs no outlet - so the motor and reciprocating mechanism could be, but then again people with engineering degrees and marketing degrees get to make those decisions, not us normal people!

Reminds me of the dog in funny farm, only Zoe at least comes back.

Gas spring like in a shock absorber?

 

[Popgadget]

Yes. I’m only guessing but I could envision the motor compressing the gas spring (accumulator) and then that energy is released to drive the staple.

It has been a cold spring here in east coast canada but now we are blasted with 27 degree Celsius and very dry. Due to recent forest fires we are restricted from going in the woods. Withdrawal from the woods is going to be hard on me.

Well my trip was uneventful, except for a few 'creative detours'. Seems a Day and Ross semi caught fire and exploded right at the bottom of the big hill (hwy 11) going north out of North Bay at 02:30 this morning. Driver and tractor O.K. Trailer not so good. Took the FD 4 minutes to get there.
Transport explodes on Algonquin Avenue
I am guessing the driver saw the fire and parked it, pulled the pin and air lines and light cord then got out of Dodge. Sure drop the trailer on its' nose. It is a write off anyway.

Tomorrow morning first thing (7 A.M.)I will cut the grass, front and back. Also a dump run is on the list for tomorrow.

Here is a parts diagram for the Dewalt fence staple gun. Suspect it may be similar to the Milwaukee

Tested the fence staple gun. Works as advertised. Fast, drives them flush or can adjust for standoff. Good security features, lockout slide and large well lit on off button.
I may skip and staple the ends instead of wrapping and staple flush as I go

Looks like a big solenoid, has a motor and smaller solenoid too.
Spring return

We gave Victoria this Paddington Bear some time ago. Apparently she gets him all tucked in and situated next to her before settling in every night.

View attachment 802942

Wife explained to Victoria that Paddington the bear was homeless and he needed a mother to take care of him and it would be great if you would be his mother and be nice to him. Victoria has lived up to her role and she is really taking good care of the bear

I would say that it’s nothing like the Milwaukee. The Milwaukee motor is perpendicular to the driver.
