    Interesting product from Westfall Pro (GME)

    Watched this vid this morning and thought of a few uses that it would be handy for. Termination Plate

    Metal flakes in the eye, I am okay as is my eye.

    Had a cutoff wheel hit something it wasn't supposed to and showered my face with steel sparks. Had my safety glasses on but 3 pieces still managed to find my eye. Eye doctor removed them all but I will be bloodshot and weepy eyed in my left eye for a few days. Just a reminder that you just can't...

    Just a heads up so you all can start collecting your pennies.

    There is a good chance that in the next few months I will downsize considerably. To much effort and red tape to make my adventure worth it. I will still rec climb and do simple stuff for family but a lot of my stuff will just not be needed anymore at that point. You guys that have been here...

    Stihl 056 AV Magnum ii

    So I took a chance on a saw I will probably never use lol. I picked it up for $200 from a friend who says it ran fine and then all the sudden it stopped running and he could not get it to fire back up. I know these saws are known for wires grounding out and other annoying "old school" ignition...

    Road trip from Philly to New England

    The wife and I are going for a road trip in Sept. No real plans, just heading up towards Maine. Maybe we go that far maybe not, just winging it as we go. You guys that live that direction or used to live up there should definitely shout out. Just looking for "Can't miss" scenery, food, cool...

    Stihl 036

    So I have a chance to buy this one for @$50-$100. Doesn't seem to be getting spark at the moment but everything else seems okay, give or take. So the question is "Is an 036 worth rebuilding?". Where is the rebuild $ line to quit, $400??? The bar alone is almost worth the price he wants.

    Yep, I stole this idea from Reg's video.

    Not done yet but you get the idea if you haven't seen @Reg video yet. Thank Reg, and thank your neighbor as well for his creativity.

    Not really sure how to quote this.

    Never quoted this way before but that's what they want and it kind of makes sense maybe. Basically it is a half day cost and a full day cost, not a job cost as the job is on going a few times a month for years probably. They have 10+ acres with 3 buildings on the property. The rest is wooded...

    Made me squirm on the couch a few times.

    Not me, just a vid I found last night of a long ascent with the Wraptor. I am sure some of you who do this type of work will be less phased but....

    GRCS, Wraptor, PCW5000 and other bulky storage.

    So I went to Home Depot today and for less than $100 bucks I got both of these. Still need to fine tune with some wood or foam but you get the idea. Never going to survive a nuclear strike but for basic protection and to keep it self contained these aren't bad.

    GPS Tracking or other Anti-Theft measures

    Couldn't find a thread about this but maybe I missed it. How are you protecting your heavy equipment and trailers. Anybody using GPS devices? How about Lojack? Other systems or mechanical devices for attachments?

    Never knew this and have had trailers for 30+ years in Pennsylvania

    I was just online and stumbled onto the fact that in Pa. any trailer over 3,000 GVRW is required to be inspected every year. I thought it was only trailers with brakes but apparently I have been wrong for years.

    This fell at my footsteps today, couldn't pass it up for 5 bills. Cuts like crazy and it weighs nothing.

    Eliet-Major consumer brush chipper

    I will get some pics up, I just haven't had time to take any and can't find the old ones. But if somebody local is looking or knows someone who needs a small chipper shredder I am getting rid of mine. Don't need it now that I have a 12" chipper. $500 bucks, pick up only. I bought used last year...
