L4N, loading wood with that conveyor looks like it will be good fun. I see a long rope running to an emergency stop, do you tie that to your ankle, or some other part ? :confused2:

There is an E-stop button on the near side to where I am loading it. No, I can get off the tractor quick enough to stop it IF I need to.

The conveyor is brand new, $7,000.oo CDN.

I was about to say, that thing looks brand new!
Bill always fantasized about having an insulated door near the fireplace and a trolley on tracks or a conveyor that would come from outside to inside, and sit right next to fireplace until
it was ready to go out for another load. Now I bet Ted could build one of those...:thumbsup:

took me way too long to build the birdhouse, waiting for glue to dry and then I'll take some pics.
I can shave a lot of time off if I don't make a peaked roof and just have a single roof board on an angle.
Legs and back hurt, I'm definitely done for the day. UPS brought some boxes, need to go see what they are and
then maybe a nap.

Eric.
"While it was under warranty I had it serviced by the dealer and the lad that came last time had a lot of muscle, unfortunately it looks like he may have used some of that in over tightening the filter. My filter strap which uses a 1/2" ratchet wrench for leverage couldn't move it, it started to crease the can. Local auto store said normally they could get me a socket cup removal tool in by this morning, but this stupid "Black Friday" concept could be clogging deliveries for days to come. Deep breath and remind myself I'm retired now, no need to rush anything, there is always another day..."
.........................................

I hear what your saying just about the same thing I was confronted years back but I use pipe wrench with teeth and slowly loosen filter.
That's another enjoyment about retirement you'll have plenty of time to think and do.

yes, hinge on one side, pin on other
this wood is a lot thicker than store bought for sure, I think it weighs five pounds...
I still have a little sanding to do to it on edges

thanks

It will be interesting to see how the starlink works out, for us rural customers. Hope you find something that works in the mean time. I still remember them saying they were going to offer internet through our electric wires, if they could, everybody would already be already networked.

The so called "smart" electricity meters are already communicating over the power lines back to the power companies. No idea what kind of data rates they have on them, but the amount of data being transmitted is pretty small. But since our local utility shuts off the electricity every time the wind blows and the humidity drops, I'll be darned if I would put any more eggs in their basket! Even if I were to find 4G internet that worked here, I'd still keep a satellite link active, but with a much lower data cap, because the cellular towers need electricity to work and they fail after their back up batteries or generators run out of juice in a day or two.
