WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY ?

Got in some seat time leveling out the area to be fenced for the future inhabitants of the chicken palace. Good thing is there is more to do. :confused2:

Went to the annual Maine Antique Tractor gathering in Farmington this morning. Had the luck to meet up with Haymaker and his son there. We chatted a bit. Fun to meet TBNer's in person.

My favorite tractor of the day was a 1958 John Deere 730, which must have been quite a tractor in it's day. It was running a 1904 rock crusher via an endless belt.

Watched a few tractor pulls and eyeballed all the old iron.

I could catch the antique tractor bug if I'm not careful

Mozart would be of a higher quality than me...

never sell yourself short....:thumbsup:

remember age and a little experience goes a very very long way in everything. And wines do get better with age!!!!

I have a friend who has a new co-worker, got all the same certs from Cisco he does with near zero experience... Came in saying he could do anyting my friend could even without the 15 years experience... Snowed management and one of the account managers.

We got a good laugh when a request from a customer should have been a 3 hour task, but it took him 2 and 1/2 days... Refused any help, even to be told how that network was configured for a background..

2 Weeks later when the AM got the bill to review before going to the customer, we really got a laugh with the stories he told to explain it.
My friend was asked what it would have taken him and how he would do it..

Funny part was the solution that was implemented was so unbelievable complex that it went around the block instead of turning left 1 door...


Moral of this whole story-- what we sometimes think is a Bach and is good someone else sees it much better--- Unless your the guy trying to show off and make the Mozark when a high school band will do....

right??

Made the final payment on this BX1500.

Paid it off a month early.

I was fixing what I neglected. My DeWalt planer stopped moving for thickness up or down and just casual spraying with Remoil didn't fix it. Guiding posts were rusty.

Took it apart, polished the guiding posts cleaned it all nicely and put back together; not a bad engineering.

Ended up with the cutting head out of synchro; one side was lower than the other. Used rifle bullets to calibrate for now, but I will have to measure the board thickness to be absolutely sure.

I think I will keep a thin film of remoil on it from now on, the shop is not heated and basically everything rusts over the time.
