I think I was 5 when that saw was made! It is normally a 2-pull start, but between sitting so long and a week of single digit temps, it needed some help. In August, I replaced the pull start mechanism (bought a complete cover) because it is such a good saw. Not a high rev unit, but has decent torque, and a great backup when I get the bar of my Dolmar 7300 pinchedGood evening all. 41ºF for the start, partly cloudy, windy. Very windy, sky became mostly cloudy, and high temp was 69ºF. Men's meeting to start day, then putter and trip to bike shop. Gas was $2.63 / gal. Nap after getting home.
Randy(wag) glad vine is now trimmed. Sorry about the forgotten tool.
Drew hope coffee was good, have been trying to reduce sugar myself, it is in so many processed food, condiments, etc makes it more of a challenge. Who certifies gas?
Ron glad plan worked yesterday. Sounds like good plan for today. nice pic.
Kilroy I take it fire went out. I use a few drops of gas or premix to help start reluctant engines. I was at bike shop, they said most stuff coming in better now, but they have back orders with Oct, '23 expected fill date. Hope honey-do list not too long.

Mark good to see you are warming up.
Kyle software has really changed sine I was working win CAM programs. Looks like TCPC is accomplished on machine control. Most of the readily available CAM packages like MastercCam were 2 1/2 axis, and many of the Machine controls were 2 1/2 axis. (mid'80's). Used NCL by NCCS which is still around, gets used in a lot of aircraft work.

Frits Peking Duck is nice surprise. Glad no serious damage.

No cats here, except occasional strays, but the hawks try.our bird baths finally thawed yesterday enough to dump the ice and refill with fresh water...many birds immediately jumped in and had pool parties.
Do the cats get busted for hunting over the bait?

Good morning! 63˚F heading only to 69˚ with cloudy skies. The South wind becomes North wind tonight expecting low 50s tomorrow.
Yesterdays was the warmest day this week at 72˚. The only reason for my jacket during seat time was the wind which made a few dust storms when it gusted, made me think of RNG's roof.
At the "Farm" they are constructing a food court with the base of 4 trailers, the same trailer base that I pull behind the tractor. They are pouring piers about 15' high to set them on with a crane to get them out of the flood plane. I'll have to get a pic next time I go to work. It seems like a waste of trailers to me. The plan was to just pull them out if it stared flooding but after they pulled the giga beer keg trailer they realized it could collapse easily because of the uneven ground, so this is plan "B".
The reindeer left the farm yesterday. One reindeer lost one of it's magnificent antlers making it look lopsided. Both male and female Reindeer have antlers and the males loose their antlers in November/early December. The females keep their smaller antlers so Santa's reindeer should have been named with female names.
The event this week is a goat in the petting zoo is expecting twins or triplets at any time now and the "Watch" is on.

Top of the morning to everyone,
Presently 35F after an overnight low of 29 under sunny skies, forecast high of 54. Should be the last sub freezing night for a week or so.
One item on the 'honey do' list now. Wife (Liz) was outside with the dog yesterday and noticed a broken tree hung up in another tree. It is a 60ft tall pine that I'm guessing broke in the storm last week. The break is about 30 ft up with the top 30 hung up in a neighboring tree. It is right above the area where the dog does her 'business' so Liz wants it taken down before it falls down on the dog. A broken tree, hung up in another tree, this is going to take some studying to make sure I can get it down safely.
Ronjhall- it takes quality equipment, a good eye and skill to get the pictures you do. Thank you for posting them.
Let's be careful out there and have a good day.

Good Morning
It’s 27 and going to 45 today.
Yesterday was an energy conservation day, didn’t accomplish much. Rigged up another UPS with a dead battery to one of the spare 12ah batteries I had sitting around. They are too big to fit inside, so I extended the battery wires outside the case and run the battery externally. I connected it to an audio rack with a digital mixer and a pair of 24 track hard drive recorders, none of which is happy when the power is interrupted while recording.
Today, I noticed I’ve got a pine tree down across a lane on the backside of a pasture. Doesn’t look like the fence is damaged. I’ll take a good look at it and likely swap the snow plow for a grapple on the tractor and move it to the brush pile with little or no cutting. But I’ll have to do it soon while the ground is still frozen.
Not much else planned, this puppy is a full time job!
