We don't want to insult Muslim women and ask them to remove their headwear, so we look aside when a nun is frisked?
And
No chance a Muslim agent would look aside while her cousins boarded with a satchel charge...

DEMOCRATIC GOAL : BETTER TO RULE IN HELL THAN SERVE IN HEAVEN
Stop Trump by any means possible regardless of whether it undermines democracy. Use innuendo, hearsay, anonymous sources, slander, conspiracies and leaks. Have the media minimize Trumps successes and emphasize Trumps mistakes [and there have been many ]. Scream, yell, march, demonstrate, foment disorder, misdirect, feign outrage, delay, obscure, and lie when necessary lie. All for the purpose of casting a cloud over the Trump administration; of delegitimizing both the election by claiming Russian Interference and Trump by claiming Russian collusion. Their immediate goal is to take back the House of Representatives in 2018 and then get Trump impeached. It is a revolt and it is a war. The left realizes this is a make or break moment for Liberalism, Socialism, Multiculturalism, Open Borders, Globalism and a bunch of other "isms" too long to list.
Power and Control is all that matters to the left and winning is everything. The end justifies the means in liberal politics and politics is everything. It supersedes Race,Gender, Religion, Morality and Country. If you are black and a conservative you are a traitor to your race, if you a woman and support the right to life; you can't be a feminist. if your religion is important to, you are a fanatic ( Parenthetically, Liberalism is the religion of the left. It is the godless religion and like a religion you must accept its doctrines based on faith, rather than reason ). If you believe fences make good neighbors, you are both a racist and a xenophobe. If you are a patriot and think America comes first you are a small minded, selfish dolt .If you believe in the second amendment, you are a knuckle dragging sub-primate. If you are Jewish and believe in Israel as a Jewish state (rather than a state with Jews in it), you must be a bigoted Palestinian hater. If you are a liberal, these are the rules and if you don't conform, you will be ostracized.This how identity politics works.
Morality and ethics are only terms and only have meaning if it serves the liberal cause. This is the socialist, liberal hell we inexorably seem to be headed for. But to the left, as Lucifer said, in Mllton's Paradise Lost, "Better to rule in hell than serve in heaven"

JR, I think I bolted this thing on correctly, although I noticed I installed a couple of the cylinder head bolts upside down!

So far, so good!
Six years old, 74K on the clock and one small dent...On the hood left side leading edge. Killed a buzzard that wasn't quick enough on his departure roll!
And he was the first I ever hit. Then not a month later I took out his cousin!

All done and tightened back up

While underneath, I decided to readjust my bumper.
I had noted that it was difficult to get the right headlight out. Looking underneath, I think I push one too many trees around, as the right side mount was sitting full aft and the left side was 3/4 forward

The end link takes some fussing with to clear the Fabtech lift kit, but in the end it all fits
18009

The bar and hardware make for a well fitting and clean installation
18010
« on: May 20, 2017, 07:48:34 PM »
The new end link mounts normally at the bar end, but is set up to pivot on the control arm end
Poly bushing shown. It got plenty of poly grease

Here is a side by side

Good quality hardware as well. The extra packet of bolts is for the ball joint swap around to make that right.
18013
« on: May 20, 2017, 07:40:05 PM »
The new bar has poly bushings and a nice powder coat finish

Today was sway bar day
I'll be removing the stocker and replacing it with Cognito's 1.5" bar with their heavy duty end links

The Deere hydro transmissions are great Two pedals instead of the wobble-matic thing on some other brands. By comparison, the 2720 I just bought with, 31.5HP I think with a 72" belly mount mower and a 200CX loader was right at $22K

ooh I like where you're head's at Bear. DON! Hey DON! DON'T CHIP THOSE BOARDS!
Or at least the ones that can be used as boards. That was where I was originally trying to go...
I plan to slap up cedar boards over the exterior of this new mill-house. Thing is, right now and for awhile I'll need to mill the beams and slowly erect a timber frame skeleton. Then I can slice up some into boards. But these logs don't yield all that much board like timber. And even at 1" thickness, the boards are balsa wood light. I have found the cedar trees have many voids which make creating board lumber tricky. I'm really just beginning with all this. When I get my sawyer feet on, I'll be able to create more from the same logs I think

I think some may work for that, but I'd bet mulch will end up for much of it. Makes good firewood as well.
^^^^^

I like the progress, Don! Before long you'll have a self contained little industry there!
It has the potential to be sure But rest assured that this limited production capability will be totally consumed with growing out the operation there for some time to come!

I'm a miserable failure with regard to getting this truck done.
It's fighting me
Like one and goal, 4th down three seconds on the clock and the super bowl title hanging on this one play. It just kicks back every time I take a stab at it.
Couple that with all the work needed farmside and I am devoting a ton of time to another thing I work on, and all that equals what you see (or don't see) here
Apologies

Praying for her now...

That's amazing!
And equal to the man's skills who is about to use it, I'd venture to say, eeh?
(Used Canadian right there ;-)

Got my flag pole up w/ Dad's help yesterday.
I love that!

You need a couple of solar panels to keep the batteries charged!! 2 100 watt panels and a small charge controller would do the trick.
Yea, maybe... Ultimate goal is off grid so that computes

Mill is earning its way already. That is some great looking wood, pity to bury so much.
I was wondering about warping, you addressed that.
I think that claw needs a set of eyes on the upper clamp.
Is the pump fed off the trailer batteries or its own source??
I like that idea my friend! I am powering the pump off the main camper battery, well, trying to anyway

« on: May 17, 2017, 10:22:57 PM »
I'm experiencing some weird problem with the aux water supply system. Its as though the pump barely pumps anything!
Now the power supply is 12VDC, coming from the battery...and the battery looks pretty dead
It is supposed to be charged from an onboard battery charger, but I wonder if that has failed as well
I think I'll throw on a new battery and see if I can get something happening.

I also picked up a metric and a SAE set of impact deep well sockets

Scored a new set of screwdrivers for like $5 from Northern Tool. Magnetic tips and all, I own two sets of these and they work well

The work area stayed amazingly clean while the implements hold position in the treeline
18032

The posts give a little after cutting so they are not perfectly straight, but darned close
18033
« on: May 17, 2017, 10:15:21 PM »
We managed to get four posts into the ground, consuming 20-60 lb bags of concrete. We braced each post to level it then poured away.
The wide opening will accommodate a log as long as the mill. The additional space on either end will allow for work space and shelving to hang up everything sawmill related.
as for height, I expect that I will make it as tall as the shortest timber after I cut it off square.

When I said the little got into the work, I mean he really GOT INTO the work!
18035
« on: May 17, 2017, 10:08:52 PM »
Hmmm, sideways pic
Oh well. I'm tired...
The little guy and I would clean out the hole, pour half a bag of that really-quick crete, the drop in a post
18036
« on: May 17, 2017, 10:06:02 PM »
And that process was not without peril
18037
« on: May 17, 2017, 10:05:12 PM »
Then it was time to start setting posts for the front of the building
The auger doesn't always work in rocky soil. On most holes, we needed to dig out the embedded rocks to clear a path
18038
« on: May 17, 2017, 10:02:02 PM »
Corey jumped in and we repeated the process over and over
18039
« on: May 17, 2017, 09:59:44 PM »
Use the tractor to remove it, and to get a fresh log, and repeat the process again
18040
« on: May 17, 2017, 09:57:27 PM »
Un dog it, rotate it through two "90's", re-dog the cant and make the final cut to produce a beam
18041
« on: May 17, 2017, 09:55:06 PM »
It's so easy cutting, that a kid can do it!
18042
« on: May 17, 2017, 09:53:13 PM »
Then we rotated the thing so that a flat side was resting on the stops, and took a cut off the top, making it three sided at this point
18043
« on: May 17, 2017, 09:50:30 PM »
We flipped the log, taking advantage of the new flat side, and milled the other side flat
Then I slabbed off another 1" thick piece
18044
« on: May 17, 2017, 09:49:12 PM »
Here's a log getting milled
After loading it onto the deck, I try to level up the skinny end to get a close to flat cut. This prevents you from wasting materiel.
18045
« on: May 17, 2017, 09:46:34 PM »
We used the new 2720 tractor to trim up the grass. That thing is a tyrannosaur!
18046
« on: May 17, 2017, 09:44:52 PM »
And the pile of timber just kept growing
18047
« on: May 17, 2017, 09:44:19 PM »
The 4720 with the new hydraulic hand was making this all quite easy
18048
« on: May 17, 2017, 09:42:09 PM »
My young nephew worked along side of me all three days and did an outstanding job! He was a fun addition to otherwise hard work. This little guy didn't shy away from anything, as you will see in the pics coming up
Here he is standing triumphantly on a log he just milled
18049
« on: May 17, 2017, 09:39:49 PM »
With that completed we started milling logs into posts of varying sizes and lengths
18050
« on: May 17, 2017, 09:38:24 PM »
OK, just finished three more days of hard labor at the farm.
First up was to finish the saw mill track install, which we completed pretty quick by adding in two more posts, then created a track mount from a piece of Cedar I had just milled
