What Did You Do Today?

Must have been one of those "match the number to number, and color to color kits.  And he had to get his tractor with the stick shift.  He knows his numbers from 1-8, but has yet to learn what Reverse, and Forwards mean.

I got the branch line running down hill but still couldn't clear it, cut 16' out of it to check and see where the plug was, every inch of the 16' foot section was plugged, replaced the whole line with new. Now if I can only get this Rube Goldberg, sink piping abomination I am having to install around stuff to work, and tie into my new branch line, this fix might actually come out OK.

@ Eric - Good luck with your project. My house was built in the 60s near as we can tell. Got a slab foundation and we do have drainage issues from time to time. Usually have to open the septic tank and run something up the pipe to clear it. Glad mine was not as bad as yours.

Done, it drains much better than before, no leaks and looks better than I had hoped.
Got one heck of a mess to clean up tomorrow, 5 gallon buckets never catch all that vomit like stuff that cascades out of out of stopped up drain lines when you cut them.

I went up to an older(78) friends house to bush hog his back forty, he just had back surgery and can't do it himself. As I pulled into his place to unload my tractor I noticed I had a slow leak on one of my trailer tires. Well, maybe not so slow on the leakage part.



Good thing is is a tandem axle trailer.

I was just looking at my old dry rotted trailer tires the other day and thought "I really need to replace these". I buy used tires for my utility trailers which often last me 7 or 8 years. looks like I will be buying at least one today.

Went to an auction on Sunday. got lots of nice tools including to copper soldering irons and a folding draw knife. Took pics with my wife's camera and couldn't do anything with them on the home computer so will take the work camera home and re-take them.

I brought in my pick of the day items and took pics at work. Here are the two soldering irons and the Drawknife.

Hate to have bad news on a holiday but me and my brothers lost our mother to cancer this morning .
The doctors gavels six months at the beginning of July but the cancer was so aggressive that it took her from us sooner than the doctors thought .
I was by her side when she passed this morning .
Have had family and friends around all day and had to step away for a breather .

[bubby]

sorry for your loss

A friend called yesterday and said he had a seasoned elm stave and a HHB stave for me.  He also said he has some HHB on his property we can cut.  I said I would be there in 45 minutes.  We jumped on his tractor and headed out in the woods. It doesn't get much easier than this. Cut two HHB trees that I got 11 staves out of.  I am really looking forward to working these in a year.

sorry to hear the bad news Poggins.
