Monday was cold at first but eventually turned into a nice sunny day.
While at Lexington the other day, I found a tooth setter at the antique mall and tried it out today. It slightly bends the teeth on large saws so that they cut a wider groove and don't bind up.
It works on the buck saw but seems to be made for the thicker two man style of blade.
I took both saws over across the creek and cut a wheelbarrow load of mimosa.
Cloudy today and they keep saying it will rain but the clouds are high so I got in the truck to go cut a load of wood only to find the battery was dead. So I put the battery on the charger and loaded up the logging wheelbarrow and went up on the hill at the cemetery to work on this tangled mess where a limb fell.
There are grave stones laying all around and at one point I thought that I smelled tobacco burning and turned around but saw nobody not even a ghost. I guess it was the cherry tree sawdust on the hot saw.
The calves and Dusty amused themselves by watching me work. I finally got the limb pulled to the ground and cut up. I am in town to pick up Carrie and take her to an orthodontist checkup. Supposed to be 3 inches of snow tomorrow and all the kids have ruled out any chance of going to school.
that is cool and spooky about smelling the smoke. i hope the kids all get a snow day. the same storm is headed here too!
ReplyDeleteThey only got 2 hour delay, there was a lot of disappointment except from me, I don't need any snow right now.
DeleteStill waiting to hear on school - will they up the 2 hour delay to full closure? They'd better decide soon!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. Or maybe it was a ghost?
I wish it was a ghost, I would enjoy talking to one.
Deleteoh, i like to think it was a ghost :D we ended up with about 3, cancelled school...today is a 1 hour delay. i hate delays!
ReplyDeleteWe just got a dusting, cold and windy yesterday but better today.
DeleteI love that old saw set. Some of the old guys used to use a hammer and just tap the teeth over by eye. But I think your set would have been a much better tool for the job.
ReplyDeleteI tried using a hammer but didn't know what I was doing, this pushes the tooth over just the right distance.
DeleteA cemetery is on your property? Spooky!
ReplyDeleteYes but you would not know it was there unless you looked hard for the stones.
