that's funny Lyle!

MikeZ · « **Reply #3 on:** February 26, 2014, 08:12:44 PM »

I know the feeling Lyle, that was me yesterday. Cut, split, and stacked a lot of firewood and even fired up the mill made some boards. Got some cherry and elm sliced up, first time since last fall to run sawmill. I don't think my restless legs even twitched last night!

Can relate to that, spent the morning climbing around in the fruit trees giving them their annual hair cut, had the brush on the burn pile by noon and finished the day out digging a 4'x4'x4 hole the old fashioned way. Oh the aches and pains of spring.

You mean you can still blink? Couldn't have been that bad then.

This ole man came in dragging his tail yesterday. Carpentering and roofing is tough.

I gotta get back to the sawmill so I can rest up.

I was running boards through a planer yesterday and sat down for a while. When I went to get up the back locked up again. I made it to the house for an ice pack and pain pill. Better today, but taking today off. Hoping by Monday it will be healed up. Like MagicMan, better to be milling.

chopperdr47 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 01, 2014, 07:51:52 PM »

I've been building my work platform for my mill using green rough cut red oak. I have to set my construction goals a little lower using that stuff. There wasn't enough advil in the house this morning.

Yeah...I saw that chair on your mill! You get to SIT DOWN when you saw! That ain't fair...you need to spread the wealth!
Speaking of worn out, you ought to try loading an 18' pine log on a manual mill with a cant hook and a manual winch.

It was actually harder to tote the 18' 2x10s off the mill to the stack than it was to load the log! It nearly killed me...I'm in the bed with my laptop trying to recover!

Planman, I'm trying to figure out how a laptop is going to help. But, hey, if it eases aches and pains, I'm gonna have to get me one!

Not only do I have a seat, I also have an umbrella. I replaced the umbrella cover today.

I paint them with Thompson's Water Seal and they last about 4 years.

I hate restless legs, they keep me up all the time. Worse when I've sat down driving or something all day.

Wow, other RLS sufferers. Been struggling with it for years. I think I'll start another post and see what others are doing about it ...
