It's mine. One of our favorite places to take a walk with the pups. Didn't matter what time of year. It's beautiful if you ever make it up this way!!

BTW:
If you see one of these, give it a shot!

 

Goodnight everyone, sleep well

 

Morning all
Have a great day
Gonna be making sausage today. Jalapeño cheddar brats and regular brats

 

Good morning everyone, have a great and blessed day.

 

Good morning everyone

I hope you have a nice start to the week.

 

First day back after a week off and the kid has an appointment that I need to leave work early for.

Gotta ease back into it.

 

Bit of a powerlifting session this morning.

 

The day is actually getting better, if you can believe that for a Monday.

Someone brought in donuts.
Free employee appreciation lunch today.
Going through my emails, free lunch on Wednesday from the contractor working on the new building.
And lunch next Wednesday from a furniture dealer.

 

Those should burn good.

 

55 lb of sausage cased , done

 

Welp, I guess it's break time.

 

Hmm, maybe try a wooden handle next time...

 

*broke

-J

 

You think wood would be stronger? I'm going to look at this one, but it's 8lbs. I liked the heft of the 6lb one I just broke, so 8 sounds tiring, lol.

Good evening guys. One of those Monday were I was on the go early and never slowed down till now. Hope it was a good weekend and Monday for you.

Looks like a good time, even if Mother Nature wouldn’t cooperate.

 

I could be wrong, so don't take my answer as gospel. But I think the wood tends to be more flexible and and take more abuse. Especially if you put a good rubber overstrike handle protector on it. I bought a 10#sledge similar to your axe. One bad strike and it tore open the handle. I would clean up the axe head and go buy a new wooden handle, they only cost a few bucks before I bought the Fiskars.

 

MMMmmmmmm

 

Well, the day had kind of a ragged start, woke up and felt like ...

Got moving finally and got to the garage to work on the ZT - the parts arrived.
Turned on the AC first thing.

I got some "mentions" about how loud this thing is from one snooty neighbor so I fitted this custom exhaust quite a while ago.



It did tone it down some - not as much as you might expect for so large of a muffler. Fortunately I built it to be just a slip fit so it came off easy.

Now I can get a better angle on the vocabulary improving tensioner pulley from last week...
