What are you doing today?

[Chuck White]

Somehow, I'm in between sawjobs right now, so I figured I'd go and look at a new one, the guy said he has 9 logs from trees that were taken down in a neighbors yard!

I did tell him about the contract and explained the quickest way to find metal in a log!

He said he wants them sawed and will pay any damages.

Best thing is it's only 5 miles from home.

Going to get back on a small siding order, had a nice day yesterday, brought pizza up for my uncle Jess, 90 years old!  He's is a Navy vet, not sure they  make them like they use to, these ole timers are some tuff nuts!

[clww]

Got myself way too hot working the previous two days (94 Tuesday and 97 Wednesday), so I'm taking today OFF. ;D It was still 84 at 11:00 last night when we headed off to sleep.

Big storm last night a farmer was given a lot in town with big cotton wood trees now 3 are down and he don't have a chain saw and he knows I have two big saws.

[Jeff]

Today my goal is to rid my property of some obvious widow makers in the area around where I intend to eventually build the cabin. There are several I have noticed that makes me nervous having other people walk around the site.

[Magicman]

I am off today and have a date with my bride.   

[Raider Bill]

I've got everything packed and ready to pull out in the morning!!!!! Today is going to drag.

[Mooseherder]

I cut, split and delivered a load of wood from downed trees for my brother's garage stove.  Just saw Moose #4 cross the road on my way back.

[pineywoods]

Finished splitting next winters supply of red oak firewood, thanks to help from neighbor and his hired hand. We had two 25 ton splitters running non-stop from 7 am till noon. It's piled out in the open sun and breeze, should be plenty dry by fall, then it gets stacked in the barn. All this from 2 trees and one punky log from my sawmill log pile.

Nice looking pile of wood.

I will only show a picture if anyone wants to see.  But the wife,(said she did not hit it that hard) broke the bracing  on the steering front end of the  mower, so I have it tore apart.  It started with the 5 cent fix on the steering arm, and now I have it all apart.  Hot and humid as you would expect.  Just got to love it!  I still believe that many times the high carbon sheet metal is not the answer for high vibration applications, it seems to be prone to breaking, regardless if you hit a large rock.

it seems to be prone to breaking, regardless if you hit a large rock.

You got rocks too?  I hit a couple every single round.  Last Monday one of the three blades stop cutting so I dropped the deck.  Simple problem, the pulley on that shaft had stripped cogs.  But than I noticed that spindle had some end play so I pressed the shaft out and discovered a bad seat.  So than I checked the next spindle and the mount for it was cracked.  Oh well, might as well order three new spindles.  Than I happened to notice big chucks missing out of the belt.  Since I can't do grass until parts get here, might as well sharpen the blades.  Surprised they would even cut.  Than I noticed one of the height wheels with a really bad wobble.

Good thing for the internet and Jacks Small Engines.  I beamed $200 off to Jack last Tuesday and he promised to have new parts on my doorstep Monday evening.  And the grass don't care a lick.

[hackberry jake]

They just dont seem to make lawn mowers that will mow sandstone do they larry?  Maybe a couple of those delta HD shaper spindles would fix your problem.

[drobertson]

Larry, not sure which one she hit, but am thinking it's the big one that fell of the disk. Either way, it did the damage.  All said, a good overhaul never hurts anything, just another opportunity to learn a lil more.

[clww]

Best thing may be to invest in some goats. ;)

[isawlogs]

   This....

 

[LeeB]

That looks a whole lot like work. At least you have a nice spot for it.

[isawlogs]

 Yes it is Lee, shade all day only a small window of sun and that is when we break for lunch. 

[drobertson]

here is the mower, with a view of the broken front arm.  Looks like some minor body work in the morning.

This is probably the best part on the machine,  hope this works the yard is growing pretty fast,

[WDH]

Like Larry said in another thread, the grass won't care.
