Good Morning
53 outside now, and going to hover around that all day. Foggy this morning, supposed to see some sun this afternoon.
Yesterday was a busy and productive day. Started with a nice breakfast with the professor, then a few inside tasks before starting outside. Got pretty much all the sticks above my threshold (what I’m comfortable running over with a mower) picked up with my grandson’s help. We dumped two CarryAll loads. Had one tree with a batch of broken, dead limbs that we attacked with pole and chainsaws.
I really like the Makita cordless tools for these sort of tasks.
Got the hole drilled for the gate post and the post set and leveled.
Zoe helped clean off the auger.
Need to tidy up and expand my attachment storage area, I really should build shed over it.
I had lent my pole saw to a friend, and he told me that the chain adjuster pin that engages the bar broke, so I had to fix that before I started. I put the piece in the milling vice and centered up on it with a coaxial indicator and drilled the broken piece with a center drill.
Then drilled it to the OD of the new pin.
Turned a new pin and brazed it into place, good as new now.
Got everything cleaned up and put away by dinner time, Zoe got to race around outside and greet people, by all measures, a good day.
