    So, it took me the better part of 2 hours to A) get that saw started, and B) tune it up so it purrs like a kitten. It is still C) putting out an absolutely nonsensically excessive amount of bar oil even on the lowest output setting, but I can't see that being too terrible of a problem ripping...

    Eh, I had a similar situation. I put in my notice with zero intent of negotiation beyond that. I was a union employee, so it's not like they can just change union rules to fit me. About a day later, I was told "well, hold on a minute, what if we created something for you that solved all of...

    It was about an hour to put the fucking handle on. So yeah, sounds about right!

    Well, it was an easy decision. That Husky is a fantastic saw, and about as big as I ever wanna be carrying around. I'll probably keep it forever. This thing? This thing is fucking dumb. It's the size of a goddamned chainsword, and it's like 35lbs. It's also made with all of the tight...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    My ex just so happened to get a 23 and me test for our oldest right after I filed for divorce. Purely coincidentally, she assures me. It's fun, she assures me.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Lotta women are like that. They'll talk about "how we work so well together" and that "you're perfect for me" without ever fucking considering that they're not perfect for you. And then lift no fingers to make any effort to work towards that. My ex was like that, and despite damned near 2...

    Also, some Chinese knockoff company makes a 92cc Stihl clone for $360. I think I can put a 36" bar on there and do the rest of this project with that. Why the fuck not? Who cares if it only lasts 20 cuts...that's literally all I need it for! Fucking lol Amazon.com: Holzfforma 92cc Blue...

    Yep, I got it now. Back in business. I think the grinder I had wasn't putting the hook on. The first run at sharpening got it passable. After I finish this log, I'll do it again before the next one and I should be in a good spot. Just these logs left...then the big fuckers.

    I have something very similar, and that was what did not work. I think it's missing one angle of movement, and that may be the problem. I will do it by hand and go from there

    I'm now starting to understand why it took my dad 15 years to build an airplane in the garage. But by the end of it, he knew how to do literally fucking everything.

    Yeah, it's fucking annoying how one project leads you into learning 7 new skills and you can never get to what you actually intended to do.

    It's been an interesting dive into stuff. I'd just drop it off to be sharpened, but it's a rip chain which is really unusual in the cities, and I don't want them to fuck it up. Because it's a rip chain, it's not available at any retail outlets here, so I have to order it online. I'd normally...

    Investing General Discussion

    My insurance guy tried to get me to set one up a couple years ago, but I was still recovering from the divorce and didn't have enough liquid to open the account comfortably. I can divert to 40% US stocks today, and cut the bond shit to near nothing, so I'll do that for now, and re-explore the...

    No 401k. Defined benefit pension, so that's taken care of. IRA isn't a poor idea anyway though, as that's what I was going to do anyway until this came along and seemed like less work. i'll see what they have if they can turn everything to IVV, because a good chunk of it is already in that.

    Eh, puts my money into 30% US stocks, 21% Int'l stocks, 9% bonds, 4% int'l bonds, and then it has some cash buffer (fucking lol at the 1% earnings being a "buffer") As i said, I don't know shit all about investing, and I don't have the time to watch the market like you guys do. If I did, I get...

    Alright, so I know fuck goddamned all about investing. Shit reads like greek to me, and I have almost no time to learn it. Too busy during the day, can't be babysitting the stonks, so best course of action seemed to be to divert a little bit of cash into some endeavor. 6-8 months ago, Ally...

    Meh, some women are just like that. Pretty sure I'm with one myself too. We don't talk about anything like the ex and I did. The ex and I at least talked about shit, even if we disagreed. We always knew where we stood on shit. This one, not so much. However, since I'm done with the thought...
