32 headed to 55 today.
Mostly I have no idea which utility the hole diggers belong to, or why they dig the holes.
I have never unloaded or loaded a tank at my local TSC, they do it every time. All I do is call the store when I get there if there isn’t anyone in the fence. Same at the local gas company where it’s really cheap.
Maybe I look like the frail old man I am some days.
Going to finish a small job in the shop and might start a bigger one, not sure yet.
Looks like my NC trip is on for two weeks from now. It’ll be my first trip in a small twin turboprop.
Have a safe trip pop.
Have a hood day all.

Good morning! 36˚F heading to the mid 70s. FireWise today we are cleaning up our neighborhood's main park that has a lot of limbs broken from the ice and snow. Then I'll need to start clearing out the garden getting it ready for potatoes and onions.
Bird your 45˚ this morning does seem a bit warm. You are usually a few degrees cooler than me.
Drew, a wheel chair carrier would carry the bottle, roll on and off, but I think you would need a trailer hitch.

A “small” twin turboprop is still a comfy pressurized ride, hopefully you will enjoy it.

Randy and Don thank you. In the winter they don't like to stand out there, so no matter what I go in and ask for help.
I'll try asking them for a hand getting the bottle in and out of my car, see what their response is.
though the local gas station offers the convenience of driving up to charging area, opening hatch, the kid takes it out, fills it, puts it back in
and off I go.
Last time it was 23 bucks at TSC vs gas station flat rate of $30 for 30 pounder. Flat rate better if you get your tank fully empty.
Now I have a 40 pounder. 40 bucks sounds right but I'm guessing.
Think I'll head out in a bit to get that done. Very grey and cloudy out.

Good Morning!!!! 55F @ 5:00AM. Plenty of sunshine. High 72F. Winds NNW at 10 to 15 mph.
Looks like it's gonna be a nice day, except for the wind. Might have to water down that burn pile if the wind gets too strong.
Maybe something like this would help with that heavy tank, Drew. And other heavy things as well?
Made some more changes to the claim yesterday, and will check it again this morning. The website does some sort of processing on the form that seems to take a few hours, and from what I've seen what you put on the form doesn't always find its way into the finished product.
Two days in a row now I've gotten delivery notices from the post office and then no package shows up. Then when I check status they show as being delayed or still in transit. More software screw ups. And I bet somehow they'll try to blame it on CV19!
The electric company cut a steep trail along the power line right of way, and the tree crew piled a bunch of slash near the bottom when they were out last month. The idea of all that fuel below the house kept nagging me, so yesterday I put the new grapple on the tractor and moved it to a burn pile. Everything was going pretty well until I got the tractor stuck, then spun the front wheels enough to wallow out a hole and got really stuck. Soft ground and mud. Tried to row it out with the FEL, but the grapple kept slipping. Ended up getting enough of a run at it to pop it out, but the trail is pretty narrow and the drop off on one side is steep and long, so it was an adrenaline enriched process.
There was maybe a 5 MPH breeze when I fired up the pile, which I lit on the down wind side so it wouldn't take off too quickly. But between all the sap in the pine branches, and all the plastic pieces I cut out of the firewood pallets, the flames got pretty big anyway. And there was some pretty black smoke for a while, too, the kind that attracts the wrong kind of attention. I guess nobody was watching, and by noon as I was piling on slash from another pile, the flames had moderated, and the smoke was back to the usual white. The feeder pile was grayhound bus size, and I was surprised at how fast I was able to get through it all. The grapple works a lot better for that kind of work than the 4in1 bucket ever did. Also found four or five good sized tree trunks in there that'll make some nice firewood. That was the first real work I've gotten out of the new-to-me tractor, and I feel like I'm getting used to the controls and feel of it on the slopes, so I'm not as nervous. Still very slow going when it comes to moving heavy stuff though, and a couple of those oak trunks definitely qualified as heavy. Nice not to hear the popping and groaning coming out of the FEL like it did on the old tractor.
I had to limb up one of the trees I found, and started off with the Makita chainsaw. Somehow the chain jumped off the bar, and when I tried to get it back on, the part that goes in the slot in the bar got bent or burrs, so the chain wouldn't move. I already had an 18" bar on hand so I could use the same chains as the small Stihl saw, so just ended up putting it on instead of trying to fix the 14" chain the saw came with. FWIW, this is the bar I ended up with, and it seems to work pretty well.

If it’s a private plane like a King Air or Cheyenne it will be much quieter than a commuter, but still bordering on hearing protectors.

I bought the 1 ton HF Hoist, back when they were orange, but have always wished I'd bought the 2 ton version.
One of these would be ideal to lift something heavy, out of a car trunk, as long as the trunk lid doesn't get in the way.
