Camp run early tomorrow morning for me, don`t much like going up in the dark this time of year, boat ride is ok but unloading and carrying in supplies in the dark is not for me anymore.

He calculated the moments.......the C channel was stronger than the tubing. Tubing wall being thinner.

Daylight came earlier this morning, sky cleared up overnight and things are drying up nicely after all the rain we got over the last 24 hours.

Could use some down here...put a bunch of fertilizer and seed out this weekend. Can you send some south?

Most of the time we do but occasionally a little gets diverted down your way, we don`t want to keep it all.

We were mounting 10CY spreaders and plows today doing preseason inspections.

If it was within my powers I would send ya at least half of whatever we have coming, even if there was only one storm.

Got fooled this morning.......got back from the island last night and we forgot to set the bedroom clock back an hour....got up at 3:30 instead of 4:30 like I wanted....Oh well...
Good weather over the long weekend for working on various projects at camp. Replaced the old stairs down to the beach......I think the old ones had a few more trips left in them but Unc disagreed....called 'em...."Un-Safe".....bride sided with Unc....I was outvoted so had to comply. Pics were taken on this iphone thing.....getting used to it...sorta......it's the old dog new tricks thing....First pic...Old Stairs then a couple of the New stairs....but even though the stairs are NEW they were built from the OLD 2 X 12 pressure treated top boards from my OLD dump truck.....LOL!! You know what the little birdie says????? "Cheep Cheep Cheep"

Since this is actually a "Chain Saw" forum I'll mention a chain saw "work around" I came up with.....they always say "Necessity is the mother of invention" and so it was....
I had some tree abuse to do at camp so I selected my 1983 Jonsereds 490 for the operation....took mix and bar oil, scrench etc. Started cutting but she wasn't running right....a little to lean on both H & L....went for muh tuning screw driver.....dang!! Left it at the shop and couldn't find a driver small enough....could file down a larger screw driver to fit ...maybe...but on the 490 the "T" adjust is located behind the handle and accessed through a hole the size of a tuning screw driver.....the shank of the smallest driver I had was larger than the hole.....lot of filing just to ruin a good screw driver....what to do??? As I was having another cup of coffee and looking at my options I came up with a plan.. I selected a rusty, used up 3/16" saw file.....took the temper out of the tip of the handle tang by setting it in the wood stove until red and then pounded the tip flat on a vice anvil......then a few swipes with a flat file and I had a perfect tuning screw driver.....set the 490 up correctly and gave those little spruces "What for"!!! Any way....though I'd share an easy way to get around this problem if you are ever in need.....worked way better than burning my saw up or getting cut because the idle was so high the chain wouldn't stop... You might not have a tuning driver with you but generally will always have a file along......

 

[pioneerguy600]

Yep, been there before and have several tuning files now, some at the camp, one or more in my saw kit. Necessity is the mother of invention.
