How'd it go today?

[Dave Shepard]

I've been watching a lot of marine and food truck wiring YouTubes lately. I might have to buy a boat just so I can rewire it.

Ah yes the good word of Barf! He’s a Mawg.

after stripping trailer light wire (the non flexible stuff, not the fine stranded wire) cutting a strand of copper, and running it all the way through my thumb when I wired the dump truck tail lights, I will let you wire as much of my stuff as you want

and yes, it hurt for about a week after, and also, a box cutter blade will cut the copper almost as easy as it cuts the insulation, who'da thought?

@flushcut I have a nice RG50 for sale if he's interested

 

[flushcut]

I can pass that along for you.

Board edger is not happy. I'm not sure of the key switch is bad, or if there is another problem. Tomorrow is another day.

I did get a few minutes to consolidate some of my electrical tools. I'm trying to get everything in a Packout for fast deployment and reduced searching. I don't have a 3D printer, so I just attacked the original box with the multi-tool, and hot glued it into the Packout. I'm not proud.

Some five-sided posts to cut this week.

RE the stump grinder flip: it was secured before the crash, there are still two chains hooked at the front and and a binder lays on the trailer's back. Something may have broken.

I admire your optimism but he never chains it down fully. I called him out on it a few times but he laughed it off. “Never had and issue before” lol

yeah the 292 is a VERY light grinder, I can lift the back end of my buddies 292 with one hand, it wouldn't be possible to break anything bigger than a 1 inch ratchet strap from walmart

I get so much shit for spending time putting chains on my investments, I just call it job security, can't go to work if im in prison or if I don't have a machine to work with anymore

You just have to call the shots from the inside...

yup, my machine will get hauled how I say it will, or it won't get hauled, pretty straightforward

lifted the box on the dump trailer loading that SVL the other day, pretty normal, been a while since I loaded a skid and the ramps were wet so I wanted to minimize the breakover, especially with a grinder that I can't push against the ramps to tilt he machine, as the machine backed into the trailer the box sat down, at first I thought the cylinders bypassed, nope, it was the trailer frame leaving the chat, FML

and I just paid if off about 2 months ago 🤦‍♂️
on a good note, the hydraulics did bypass a little and I think I can straighten it back out, on a bad note that takes effort and I'm lazy
