Wow! I knew they stoled your trailer, I didn't realize that they had turned it into a drug lab. Good luck dealing with the insurance company. We had an incident with our car this winter, our agent really went to bad for us.

Looking forward to hearing about the racing season. How far do you travel to go racing?

I'm learning to sharpen end mills, here's my first attempt at a 4 flute. It cuts well but the primary relieve is a little wide.


Here is the next one I need to work on.

Evening Tim. Good sharpening is almost an artform. I brought home another two truckloads of wood today. That makes 5 and I am aiming for 12. I like to have more that I need all ready to go.

Good Tuesday morning Washington, Tom, Steve and all the crew. I never was very good at sharpening bits much less trying to do End Mills! But it looks like you are getting there!

Yesterday was 76° and very sunny and today promises to be even warmer. Last night while setting out front I was serenaded by Spring frogs singing me the song of their people!

Good morning Ford Fans,

Steve, how many cords of firewood do you get in a truck load?

Rod, Glad to hear the first day back was a good one.

Ken, no rain out West, starting the day at 22° on its way to mid 40s.

Not sure what the day will bring today, the head cold has seemed to get worse. I was hoping to hold it off but nope, it's got me.

Evening Tim, sorry you have whatever is going around. Wasn't me that gave it to you. I stayed way back from the monitor and routinely washed my hands and wiped down the keyboard so I wouldn't pass it on!

Hope you feel better and DO NOT take the Stomach Bug!

Evening Tim. hope you are feeling better. I am hauling about 1 1/3 face cord of wood at a time. That is unsplit. Measuring a face chord at 4 ft high x 8ft long x 18 inches wide. There would be three of them in a full cord. I don't really pile it very high as the tires are sagging a bit and I am driving about 15 miles. I am driving a '93 F150 4x4. I plan on bringing home 12 loads so I should end up with over 16 face cord. It is a lot of work, but I am getting it for only the price of my gas to haul it and my labor and saws to cut it up. not a bad deal. When I first start cutting each year, I feel like a cripple but by the time I get it all home I am nearly used to it. Then it has to be split and stacked but I do have a decent splitter. I know I sure miss having the kids around for the help they use to give years ago! LOL

Happy Hump Day Washington, Tim, Ken, Steve and all the crew.
Jim, hope you feel better today and get back to doing whatever you do!
Rain set in last night and will last today and maybe into tomorrow. Started the day at 55° and will pretty much stay there today and tomorrow!

Best wishes on continued wellness, Tim!

Woke up to 19 degrees this morning and lots of frost. The clearing blue skies do lead to colder overnight temps. Looking for 50 today and nicer weather through the weekend. Might be time to start some yard work.
