    AdaLov. A CPE361, I think. Many choices. This one seemed to be well liked.

    After much YouTubing, I've ordered a 5km point to point bridge. I'll try it from house first, but I'm betting there is too much tree interference. If it doesn't work, then I'll put it on my parents house. If I stand at the corner of the building near the top of the yellow line, I have a very...

    Trying to figure out if a point to point wifi will work at the sawmill. They can have a range of 2 to 10 km. My house is about 520m to the building nearest the mill. I'm worried about trees, but interestingly, the straight line from my house is the least obstructed path. My parents house is...

    Did you know that a Zinger is just a Twinkie in a fur coat?

    I liked the 462 and 500i that I ran at work. They have their place, but for what I do, the 395XP is hard to beat. It's like a D8. Not the fastest thing around, but not much slows it down. The 462s were pretty bulletproof. The 500i, not so much.

    Some quick googling shows $3 for a 6' .6"x.6" (?) at TSC. 5' 1"x1" for $2 at Home Depot. I'm thinking I'll make mine heavier, probably 1 1/8", or 1 1/4". I know people don't like floppy tomatoes stakes. For the number I plan on selling, I can put any price I want on them and they will be gone.

    What are hardwood tomato stakes going for these days? I'm going to have some oak side lumber that I don't want to try to save, and some hemlock 2x that I think I'm going to build into a forklift-able roadside stand.

    Went through that a couple months ago. Brutal. I hope it clears up soon!

    Drove silage truck this weekend. Waiting on the next load of logs, which showed up this afternoon. Driving is kind of like a palate cleanser. I also like a little farming action now and then. Eight hours in a farm truck hurts more than 12 at the sawmill. We chopped some of the fields belonging...

    I just found point to point wireless bridges with 3 km range. If that would work, I could just use my fiber at my house.

    What are the power requirements? I desperately need internet/wifi calling at the sawmill. I could potentially install fiber, but that's not free install anymore, and it's $110/month.

    There were approximately 9,312 different arguments for, or against any process, including crimping, then soldering. :/: Pretty much, if you do any process correctly, you should be fine. Some people said their industry was crimp only (marine). Other said it was solder only (aerospace). I'm going...

    How'd it go today?

    I've been on YouTube for the last two hours watching people make arguments for or against crimping or soldering and I didn't realize how late it was and missed my wordle and ruined a 48 day steak. Oh well, first world problems. :lol:

    I'd really like to know why some bird needs to set up outside my window and start squawking at first light every morning. I get it. You are a bird. You want to get that worm. But why do you have to tell me about it?

    My favorite chainsaw model? 394XP/395XP. My favorite actual chainsaw? My Husky 66. It's great having this saw back in action.

    I have a small one, too small for the mill. Some of these Anderson connectors will be used to run a 12vdc fuel pump someday when I get my storage tank going. Also, I will be able to have hydraulics anywhere on the mill with a long connector cable to the tractor. If I did have a jump pack, I...

    My Sunday load of logs showed up a little while ago. This guy loves cutting trees! I'm glad I don't have to anymore.

    Looks like a good set of jumpers is going to cost$$$, although I'm not surprised. As you all know, because I won't stop talking about it, I have Anderson connectors on everything at the mill now. I do have 35' jumpers that will plug into any of these machines, but I want a cable with Andersons...

    The universe has a strange sense of humor. A screw fell out of my reading glasses, which I then needed to find and reinstall the screw in the reading glasses, that I needed to see to install the screw...
