Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

IN April, 2000 we moved from city water, to a rural home with it's own well. We lost power 3 times in the first 4 months and the last time was for 4 days. No water to flush toilets or shower in late July.. Fortunately, the wife and 4 year old were in Madison, WI visiting her family, so I was the only stinky one home. The third day of that outage, I bought a generator and cord and back fed it thru the dryer outlet, which was on an outside wall next to a window...;)
I still have it and have used it numerous times over the years, but not as much since we moved 5 years ago. The local supplier seems better at keeping the lights and well pump on where we are now.

Heading to Rosemont tonight for the MCACN show. Anyone going there ?

Our whole generator kicks automatically every Tuesday and runs for 15 minutes. Then shuts down. Used it twice last summer.
Today I spent and hour with a PT working on my right shoulder. Nice gal but I can really feel it now.

Today I received a cosmetic trim part for my laptop as it's gettin' long in the tooth. I ordered this 3 days ago. Yesterday my coffee went into the keyboard of said laptop and it died. It's just not funny anymore :waah:

Got dropped spindles put on the 61 to get the nose down and tested fitted some steel wheels we had for the front. Found we had a pair of 14x6 disc brake steel wheels. They clear so gonna get some 14x7s ordered for the rear and a set of hubcaps to recreate the look of the photos of my grandfathers original 61.

Getting it back together slow but sure.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Flattening a rough sawn white oak slab that I milled a few years ago with my chainsaw mill. I usually bring them to a friend but his big drum sander is broken . Had to do it old school . This is going in where I took out the old range top.

My next project is to make a sled planer for my router .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Installed . When I redo the whole countertops I’ll make a coffee table out of it

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That's a mighty fine surface, for using a belt sander!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I used an electric hand planer . Much faster than a belt sander.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Another hour of PT today for my shoulder. It is getting better.
Have great turkey day!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Even more respect! I've done woodworking for decades and I wouldn't attempt that. I'd have gouges all over- assuming you did it free-hand. I do have a router sled I made from a 2' X 4' MDF sheet and 2" X 2" X 1/4" angle aluminum. It obviously wouldn't work for a large slab like yours.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

All free hand . It’s not that hard after you ruin a few pieces of wood . In reality I did a lot of practice pieces of scrap wood before attempting this but now it’s really not that hard at all to do . Just have to take small bites out of the wood .

We having fun yet . :)

Woke up to no water today . Cistern level was below the pump so I turned it off . The water from the spring house was running well and filled the cistern in a few minutes had my wife turn the pump on and the level dropped real fast . Pressure never built up in the house so I deduced that the line to the house must have sprung a leak since there’s no leak in the house .

My day today digging out the main line . Glad it’s not 10 degrees out have about 100 ft to go haven’t found a muddy spot yet . Going to just lay a new pipe next to the old one may change out the electrical too .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That's a dandy hydraulic shovel you've got there too. ;)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Adding insult to injury . Supposedly we were getting a dusting to an inch

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Today our granddaughter and grandson (19 and 12) came over. We decorated Christmas cookies, made 2024 ornaments, and decorated our tree. We dont get to see them at Christmas do to scheduling issues on their end. We set the channel to Classic Christmas for the background music and enjoyed the day.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Started laying down the pipe . And of course we have been in a drought for several months and the next three days it’s going to rain . But we need it desperately and I can live without running for a few more days . Glad I had a roll of pipe in the barn for years but no 12/2 direct burial wire man was a little set back at the price $ 178 for 250 feet . The old wire is still good as I can power the pump up . I’ll pull it out and use it somewhere in the future
