Saw mounted, leveled, ready to rock. Felt like shit today, so took it easy and only worked 10 hours. I'll fire it up when I get home from work tomorrow and see what we get.

Decided to check my home's value on Zillow since I got some bullshit on my discover account about "unlocking 440k of value outta my home" or some nonsense. Turns out, Zillow has me sitting at 471k for value. Which is hilarious, because I had trouble getting a fucking appraisal over 300k a year...

I saw a lot of this on Reddit, but sure seems like fucking hopium for me. Label created for Crimson scales 7 days ago, zero movement. Now the UPS site is just straight up shitting the bed whenever I try to do anything with it. Dice Throne still sitting at "address is locked" and nothing...

Norseman drill bits will drill thru 3.5 chainsaw bars. Just FYI. So, one hole is 25/64" instead of 3/8". Don't forsee that being an issue. Got the mount reinforced for the new saw, glue setting up now. Should be able to put it together and see if it will run up and down the saw mount...

Yeah....2-6's! Not 2-6.

Nah, I have the rerolled version too. Shadow Theif rolls 2-6's on their defense roll and goes Into The Shadows, which means you take no damage. Goes away at the end of YOUR next roll phase. So, if the guy right after you hits you, possible you're immune until it comes back around to you.

King of the hill mechanics make it pretty interesting at any player count, honestly. Although, Shadow Theif being OP in 1v1 is even more ridiculous in FFA. Can't hit me...and neither can anyone else this round!

Motherfucker, mine still hasn't shipped. My Crimson Scales has a label created, but hasn't been scanned yet.

Nah, it ain't about that at all. That would obviously be the easy way. This is for my kids. As I get older, I'm spending more time thinking about what I leave behind. No one's gonna remember what I did at work, but my kids are always gonna remember the nightstands and tables that used to be...

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...

Is this Vanessa's plan for bottom surgery?

36". Don't cheap out!

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...

I've decided to make some upgrades to my mill.

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.

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...

Today I found out I can't sharpen a chainsaw for shit. Tomorrow, I get to start over.

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...

Don't give that cocksucker money. For the price of that shit, you can buy a 3d printer.

So far so good, just a bit slow going. Gotta let the bar cool off in between cuts, and now it's time to take a crash course in chain sharpening. But, the results have been nothing shy of spectacular. All that stuff standing up is the first cut off the top of the log, or the leftovers of the...

I'm not gonna say amazing, because my domino's always manages to fuck up our order, but I guess for the cost of 2 drives up there, 3 pizzas for the price of 2 ain't terrible.

I was thinking about this today as I was milling logs 3 and 4....underneath where the tree was standing, everything started growing again. Grass, weeds, all that kinda shit. I have a lot of spots in my backyard where plants are undesirable. I wonder if I can use all the sawdust as some kind of...

Also toxic to a lot of crops too, like it was killing my tomatos, which is how we got to this point in the first place!

My only regret is that it creates sawdust instead of chips we can put in the smoker.

Fyi, walnut sawdust smells amazing. There are worse fates in life.

I might sell some of it, but probably gonna keep most. I have a few pretty big pieces that might work as live edge tabletops I could probably finance this whole project with.

I take no credit for the design, Izzy Swan sells the plans at his site, stumbled upon his channel while I was looking for a solution to my problem. The logs I have are EASILY 500lbs. They're fucking huge. I have no way to lift those fuckers up to a comfortable working height with a normal...
