Good morning!!!!

FIL had property up on 601. Could the rocky cliffs have been Ravens Rock? We use to walk out the back door to the overlook (spectacular at moon rise) quite often when the kids were small. Now, there are nothing but houses and everything is private so people park on 7.

Progress....

Raven's Rock is on the north side of Snickers Gap (Rte 7). I've heard it's beautiful, and that's part of my next planned hike. Bear's Den is just a half mile south from the same Rte 7 parking lot. That's neat that you were able to go there years ago before so much development.

Save the fresnel lens if it's not cracked. They make an amazing solar oven. Outer screen is lenticular, fresnel is behind it.

There are 2 layers there.

What do you use solar oven for?

Ordered a $17 Amazon replacement battery for my 14.4v Dewalt to see if it will work. Has good reviews. I have 2 drills, circular saw, sawzall & flashlight that use them , mine won’t hold a charge. This is cheaper than a sawzall for my Bosch batteries.

Two parts...front up & down ridges is lenticular, you won't need. Behind has circular ridges...that's the fresnel.
Lot's of youtube videos, you can weld, braze, cook, etc.

A lot of old school lathe tools about to go to pasture.

Any way those taper adapters could find their way to Kalifornia?

 

[RedNeckGeek]

South Bend Nordic 15, built in France. This is a sister lathe to the one I have at home. They are actually a decent machine.

Decent, I'll say!

Do they all come with the coffee maker attachment?

Good eye. I had to go back and look

Good very late morn! Low was 29°, about 4" snow overnight, but that melted off with the rain that followed. Didn't check the gauge to see how much. I was just glad that the rain came.

Had to go into town this morning, bunch of errands, and a stop at the metal supplier. Going to make a couple more edge tamers for another member from TBN (neighbor a few miles away). Steel prices about 40% higher than 2 years ago. Not happy about that.....

For the dust collector systems, here is a link using a trash can. This is the setup that I used last year.

I did find a 'diy' dust collector that added some plywood diverters inside the trash can that separates the lower collection section from the upper suction section. They definitely helped.... couldn't find the video....

Here are some links for adaptors:

Not yet anyway...just the old lathe tooling for now.

BTW, I'm having trouble wrapping my head around you possibly moving. I have told countless people of your efforts to put the power company on a back shelf. It just seems that you have worked so hard, (and spent so much money) to make your place, your place. Did that wind damage make up your mind? You mentioned "safer"....are you talking from meth heads, cuz buddy, they are everywhere you go. OTOH, if you're just trying to cash in, and lower your grounds keeping efforts, I might could understand that.

Billy, glad you had a great hike. Keep up the hard work/fun. I take it you never damaged your knees on motorcycle wipe outs when you were young?

Got about half my corner braces before I got weathered out. Light rain and breezy, but we so do need the rain so no complaint.

So spending time updating my financial/budget spreadsheets. I keep everything in numerous interlinked spreadsheets, bank accounts, credit cards, etc. Have to properly close out the previous year in order to get proper starting balance for the new year.

Sears didn’t actually get the washer fixed. Being an intermittent problem it didn’t cooperate and show itself. Tech says it is a communication issue involving several locations and without an error code there was no way to figure which component. I did extend the protection agreement another 2 years. Not a big fan of extended warranties, but this plan has been worthwhile and I know as soon as I let it lapse everything will break down.
