Good morning!!!!

I got the new saw unloaded by myself with help from the tractor. I was able to rock it back and forth moving it the direction I wanted without too much effort. Got it on a pallet on the forks on the tractor, moved it in shop, rocked it off pallets.. took 3 trips back and forth to truck to get all the accessories (fence, miter gauge, guard, extra blades, etc).. The fence is a fancy Besmeyer or something like that.. Guy bought it and was only able to use it a few times before his health made it too much. He was glad to see it go somewhere it might get used. They are having to sell their house and much of what they have to be able to manage (healthwise). I paid more than I wanted to, but they will put the money to good use and I had it budgeted, so win win.

Another good day. Was able to stand with a walker. Stood 2 min, maybe 1 min without holding with hands. Able to lift one foot at a time.
So they said, can you stand with only 1 hand on walker? And i did.

I hope by friday to walk some with walker.

They fit me to wheelchair tomorrow.

Congrats on the saw. Sounds like a nice one.

I brought home a free commercial copier once, before forks. I dropped it unloading from truck, but it still worked. Had it in garage, then moved to basement. Then sometime aftef it stopped working. Now takes up space in barn, needs to go to dump.

Yeah, we engage in that same battle every year here, too. We alternate between pulling, propane torching, and spraying. Most of the time, it's just spraying.

Paul, is your table built from pressure treated wood? We have a conventional picnic table that we'd like to paint.

You must need a rest after all that PT and test.

That's great, but you really also need to work on your upper body and arm strength. We can't land so we will have to throw out out the rope ladder on the 23rd.

Kind of late posting today. Been a long day, was on the road at 4AM to go back to the problem child machine.

I hope some people enjoy eating crow. Got the troubleshooting right on this one. New diesel engines should not have too many tie wraps pulled too tight on wire harnesses. New Diesel engine wire harnesses should not have crappy electrical tape sealing backsides of electrical connectors. Oil, lime dust, and moisture takes advantage of silly mistakes caused by tie wraps and electrical tape and cause intermittent shorts on a CAN bus. This one is gonna cost someone some warranty expense, there is about 6 man days in figuring this one out.

Hate it when I am right......

Toppop, good luck tomorrow. Thoughts to everyone else who needs them

I am going to bed.....long day....
