I am pleased to hear that there are administrators in government paid positions that actually have some common sense. :D
Bandit, thanks for the pictures and happy sawing in the park.

My mill was acting up and after looking at all the wiring I knew it was the cat that was acting up.
So a trip to Milton Cat, Never been at the new home.


  

  

 
Put the meter on it and It showed a bad fuel pump. Check the hi and low RPMs Good to go. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
I did ask if we can fit the 1000 Horse on the mill.


  

  
It's as big as a VW bug. :o







Was flying home on 93 at 70 when I get a bang. :o :o :o
Pieces of tire fling all over, oil from the hoses that sheared off.


 
So I pulled down to the tree line so No one would hit me.
Put the spare on and tie up the loader legs. with no hydro IT won't stay up. :D :D


  

 
Got home and had to drill and tap where the fitting snapped off.
Having some supper, Then go out to take off the hoses, Get new ones in the morning.
  But there's a gizmo that was on the hose that's on 93 somewhere.
Maine is sending me one for tomorrow

Did you retap the holes to the same size I'ma guessin so that the new fittings fit?


What was it the lift pump or the injector pump?  You'd know if it was the injector pump cause they'd give you a bill that burns lol


Welp hopefully you get her all squared away before too long!  Now you gotta make sure you fix that other tire so you have a spare again.  And it's a good thing you brought a spare..which reminds me I need to put some tire black on the tires to protect them from the uv they're getting pounded on by that sun. 
Boy, back in my day..

Wait... I thought you cut a tire. Was it a wooden tire? Or was the hose wood?
(Some of us are easily confused).

Glad that tail didn't manage to wag the dog! You're safer with the bears and logs and spinning blades. Now, quit joyriding and get back to work.

Was the fender beat up, too?
Find something to do that interests you.

When the cars went through the oil mist some hit there wipers. I don't think that was a good idea. :D :D

If you come this way sometime Logger, Stop in,[ 64 Burleigh Hill]. Just follow the road out past the greenhouse. The mill is in the woods.
If you don't see me, just follow the nose and I'll be standing there. :D :D

Peter--Seems to me you came out of a bad situation smelling like a rose ;D.  Glad it all worked out.  Have had to replace a broken velocity fuse--they don't give those away!!!
Loggah--with me it's usually two steps back, one forward....that's why everyone is so far ahead of me :D.  All the best, Rob.
If you have time, you win....

Should have it running this weekend.

Cutting long wood, sometimes you have to trim.


  

 
I run 40' of rollers to cut the side boards on, makes it easy to cut to length.


 


Then see it go. :D :D :D :D


  

 

Then more 26' show up. ::)


 

I ran out of 8' logs, so I cut 16' in ½


  
I go through the logs and pick the long ones, 16'8"+. That way I have at least 4" of trim on my lumber. What a pain.  ::) ::)

Bruno, I bet your wet too.  :D :D :D
I'm about sick of the rain.

Don't want to dead stack Pine for too long with all the rain.
I tell customers the wood won't wait for you to stick it to keep it from getting moldy ;D

With a sawmill you have to have a lot of logs in the yard. $$$$$$$$$ is all you need to start a lumber yard. And want to work 12 hour days.  :D :D
