If I may offer one piece of advice which I hope you take, but I'm afraid you won't. When your mouth digs you into a hole, the very first rule is to STOP DIGGING!

The joke didn't go over my head. Your perception of yourself as my peer gets under my skin.
You are a child, ignorant and naive. Own that.
how many years has it been now? you would think I woulda took the advice a looooong time ago
what I really gotta do is just delete all social media and go read a damn book

There's an idea.

When can we look forward to this deletion you speak of? The book part I care less about.

If I can line up babysitting, can I join you? It’s a long shot but a possibility. Wife working this weekend.
I use them for non critical rigging. Usually ground stuff for redirects and things like that for hauling logs. Any place failure is merely a nuisance, and not a disaster. I figure it saves wear/tear on my good stuff. And of course towstraps :^D
I've had that. More times than not it's a thorn as Mick noted, but sometimes it's a mystery. Maybe something punctured in, and pulled out. Perhaps a cable strand? Mine always get better after a day or two.

From yesterday. Ford is so nice to include this wonderful tool tray.
Any idea what it is from- old injury, overuse, old age?
Do you do anything in particular to battle it- meds, cold water, exercise?
Which joints, if you don't mind my asking....asking for a friend
Off today, so I went grocery shopping. Didn't get a chance over the weekend. I registered to bid on the chipper online. I'd prefer going in person, but I have jobs I have to be at the next couple days. If anyone has a few minutes to kill, could you look over the auction pics to see if anything jumps out as being a deal breaker?

Theres a trick or two you can use .First on the old Cats is getting the pony motor started .Roll it over first on decomp then on fuel off .Use a torch over the intake to heat up the air then kick in the fuel .It will moan,groan,fart and finally fire up on two while blowing smoke rings for half an hour until the other two cylinders finally decide to run . Actually these days the only one I have in running condition is an Oliver OC-6 with a gasoline engine .It always starts .It's tarped down up on rail road ties in case it decides to snow deep as the azz on a tall Indian .It's been years since that .

Cory,
It’s mostly age-related-changes. My Mother had bad, disfiguring osteo-arthritis and I seem to have her genes more than my Dad’s as far as that goes. My brothers seem to have my Dad’s phenotype: all lost their hair, are taller, and none of the arthritis or heart issues. My head of hair, heart issues, and lesser height are reminiscent of my Mother’s side of the family tree.
Warmth and gentle exercise to start the day helps. Worse in the cold.

I recognize these osteo-arthritis symptoms well, Pat. It's no fun.

Mike,
I may have to fit them in on Thursday or Friday. It turns out my Primary Care Physician is retiring and I’ll be at his farewell party Saturday morning, followed by the annual holiday get-together for the First State Woodturners at noon, and then another holiday party at 6pm!!?!!
(I really need to make a habit of looking ahead at the calendar 🤣)

Saturday cleanup that funded today's delivery. Logs are heavier than drywall but I was glad they craned the sheets into the garage. It took less than 20 min from the moment they parked to them leaving the driveway.

I’ve never seen a hitch like that. I’ve never hauled anything besides a 3000lb trailer either.

That’s a bulldog coupler I believe. Have one on my tow behind stump grinder. Never given me an issue

I received an unexpected refund from American Express today. They mailed me a check for $1.00 !!!
Pat, dang those dang genes
B, are your issues osteoarthritis like Pat mentions? Age related more than old injury related?
