Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

May as well fix that 488 for my co worker tonight, he better remember to use the thinner bar oil in the cold cause these oiler drives can`t stand any abuse. Regular bar oil is much too stiff when the saw is cold and first starts up, takes 5 mins of run tie to heat and thin the summer grade reg bar oil in the tank.

Went to the NAPA store here in town a couple days ago......needed a gal of bar oil....goofy looking kid asks..."You want summah or winta grade?" I blinked, looked outside, looked back at the kid and said "I think it's still winta out.....take winta grade" "Gotta ask" he says....."Nevah know"......

This is not a good winter for the skiddah crowd around here......glad I'm not running the mill full tilt.......this is the kinda winter you go through boxes of bits and 2 or 3 filecards.........when sawing, I like to start sharp...saw 'till noon (1000 BFT) lunch, oil up, sharpen and mill until the end of the day ( 'nuther 1000BFT)....clean up, sharpen and go the fek home. This is the kinda year you would have to add 3 more sharpening to the day.......bits are $1.20@ these daze....54 tooth saw...do the math....but a mere drop in the bucket compared to a band mill in the same dirty wood......that would really suck!! You must have sawn just about enough now to realize just how important keeping your logs really clean actually is.........LOL!!!

Dam right I have! They all get debarked now before going on the mill. All in all I love my band mill and the ease of use compared to a chainsaw mill, but I have learned that if it's not tuned right then you might as well try to free hand boards out of logs with a sawzall.

I have had many surprising chats with the real smart peoples over on the West side, some of the conversations really make me smile!!
However the ,Alaskans ,really surprised me with how much they knew about Canada and lil ole Nova Scotia in general.

Yep it is....I got zero here this AM and just a very, very thin sliver of sunshine off on the eastern horizon.......I think that I should enjoy it....gonna be the last I see for the next few days!!!!

 

[Cantdog]

Geeeze.......I was right.....In ten minutes time, Danny sucked the sunbeams back to Nova Scotia and has been replaced with gently falling snow!!!!

 

[pioneerguy600]

Dan set up a high wall of those slat blinds, he is gonna shut the sun off till he gets paid for all the moon beams he let you have for free, see ,he`s nice!!
