Morning y'all, the other leaf blower went down again seems to not get spark from time to time. Could be a switch or the ignition coil.
Then later in the day I broke a swivel tube. Thank goodness for the maintenance shop we Jerry rigged it up so I can use it today. New swivel tube will be here Saturday and will get replaced on Monday.
Y'all have a great day and be safe today .

 

I replaced those blade hub bearings on my mower not too long ago. They were already trashed! So i replaced hubs and blades today

 

Pics of the old ones?

 

I'll have to get them tomorrow they are in trash can on top

 

Well well well, so I told y'all about the second leaf blower going down the other day. So we went to the maintenance shop and got some really nice hose clamps and went out to the pipe debris field and found a piece of 2" gray conduit. Cut the bell off and used it as a sleeve worked great!!! New swivel tube will be here today I hope. So Monday morning we will switch out and keep the parts for emergency fix again.
On the other side I bought a reusable respirator and filters last night they should all be here next week sometime.
Y'all have a great weekend.

 

Gonna try to get some shop time in today.

 

Same.

 

Finally pulled the trigger on a new generator . Should be ready to pick up by the end of the week .

 

Morning y'all, the swivel tube came in on Saturday for the leaf blower so I'll put it on this morning.
Got my little Husqvarna I think it's a 455 out Saturday morning and cleaned up the electric company right of way trash they just tossed in my trail into the woods and along the creek.
Talked to the wife about getting a box blade and a wood chipper I've decided on the DR XL 575.
I took notice that mackissic makes them or at least they look identical even the specs are the same. Just need to wait until taxes are done to see if I owe anything.
Hope everyone has a good and safe day today.

 

Just how portable will that Westinghouse generator be? My 2800 watt Yamaha is all I can lift into the truck bed, that 15kw unit looks like a beast. Ramps for any height changes (trailer, truck etc). On my renewable energy forums Westinghouse has a good reputation.

Got the swivel tube replaced yesterday and I needed to use it for a bunch of 6 and 8" pipe. Today if the rain holds off we'll be doing 6" mostly all day today.
Y'all stay safe and have a good day today.

 

Still haven't been paid for working on this. He told me he would bring cash to the next breakfast he saw me at and I saw him Friday (31st), Saturday (1st), and Sunday (2nd) week before last. I saw him again last Friday (The 7th). He hasn't mentioned it.

I text him yesterday and said don't forget about me working on your blower, he said I had your money Friday. My bad. You have cashapp?

I said no but I do take cash. Bring it next Friday (21st)........ lesson learned with him


If he doesn't say anything about it next week I won't be doing anything else for him. If I owe someone for something, I make it a point to get them cash ASAP if I don't have it on me and don't wait for them to bring it up

 

I got the same thing going on for a trailer modification.

I hate having to reach out to remind them they got obligations.

 

I had 4 people who owed me money, 3 of them paid last week. 1 of them gave me a $30 tip on a $20 job. If I can just get paid for the blower that will be 1 of 3 people who owe me now, 2 of them won't ever pay me cause they passed away

 

You should tell that guy with the blower....
"Look at what happened to these other two guys who didn't pay . . ."

 

Gotta work smarter, not harder...
