    Same idea, different word. Maybe I should keep a couple CARTONS on the shelf. I’ll check next trip to the grocery store, see what they have.

    True, I can buy regular milk by the pint too, I just generally don’t. I should on occasion though, or maybe I should keep a couple bottles of the high temp variety on the shelf for when I need it and don’t think of it at the store.

    I’ve heard of it, but haven’t tried it. Maybe I should. Is it still shelf stable a long time after it’s been opened?

    What do you do when someone gives you half a dozen cans of pineapple rings? Why make a pineapple upside down cake, of course! And if you’re lactose intolerant, you use a milk free recipe. (I can handle the amount of milk in a cake, but don’t keep any in the house because I can’t use it before it...

    I wish there was, unfortunately there aren’t anymore. Several local colleges had them, but they’re gone now. The state prison system here had a tree care training program and a horticultural program, but those are both gone here too. Closest thing left is landscape architecture, and that isn’t...

    Splicing Two Pieces of Ultrex Together?

    Appreciate the thoughts, I shall not attempt the splice. Making an eye and knot, or even tying the pieces together, won’t work because the whole length has to wind up on a winch drum. I’ll just keep the short pieces around, maybe find a use eventually.

    TAKEN: Used Stihl Saw Bars, 20” and 36” - Free!

    Yes, I have a pile of those bars. That is the only bar we use. We use the Rollomatic ES Light, because a standard bar is much too heavy for that size saw. We buy 33RSK chain by the 100 foot spool, and make our own chains for everything. We use six bar sizes in total, but we only use three sizes...

    Splicing Two Pieces of Ultrex Together?

    Thank you for that, I shall watch the video later and see if it looks doable with used rope and no fids. I don’t mind the rope a little thicker and stiffer for a distance as long as it still winds around the winch drum with no issue. Also, looking at what I have, one piece is 5/16”, the other...

    TAKEN: Used Stihl Saw Bars, 20” and 36” - Free!

    If anyone can make use of these bars, let me know what they are worth to you, or just let me know that you want them and cover the shipping. They don’t help me any, and I don’t want to scrap them.

    Splicing Two Pieces of Ultrex Together?

    We have two pieces of Ultrex sitting around the shop, both under 100 feet long, and I’m wondering if it is possible to splice them together where they will run on a chipper winch effectively as one rope. Anybody ever do such a splice? Both ropes are used and a little bit fuzzy, but still in...

    Chipper drum failure

    Is it that thick? It didn’t look like it in the image. I’ve never measured my 1590, but that is probably about the same, and a 2100 is supposed to be a much bigger, heavier chipper. The Bandit 2090XP (in theory, the equivalent to your 2100) used to claim to have a nearly solid drum, I don’t see...

    Chipper drum failure

    I believe the knives are correct, from memory. Bandit drum chipper knives all mount that direction too.

    If I had a great answer for you, I would let you know. I am trying to find some myself at the moment, and getting nowhere.

    TAKEN: Used Stihl Saw Bars, 20” and 36” - Free!

    I have been going through saw bars in the shop, and found two that we cannot use, as we use all 0.050” gauge chain on the larger saws. One is a 36” bar, that has seen some use but has some life left in it. It’s been across a bar rail grinder recently, and I dressed the rails myself today. This...

    Boots and boot care?

    I love my boot drier, in winter when I get home my boots go on one side, gloves on the other, give the knob a twist to start it going and three hours later boots and gloves are warm, dry, and ready to go for the next day.

    I did make the bread dough, I love my KitchenAid Professional, it sure makes kneading easy! Yes, that is sweet Italian sausage because it was on sale at the grocery store and I was too lazy to make meatballs.

    My all time favorite poem. There are many I like, but this is one that I try to live up to. “If” by Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too...
