Just before lunch broke an injector line on the truck.



Nursed it to the shop.

Got home and thought I’d cut some wood. Made the cuts first turn and squaring up one corner.



Went to make the second turn and broke the big cant hook. Grabbed the smaller one and bent it to of no use.




If I was a drinking man I’d head for A/C and a cold beer.

It has to be a sign. I would need beer therapy.

Maybe somebody saw a wreck up ahead of you and still needed you for another job but I don't guess it was sawing lumber, lol.

Well you used up 3 strikes today.
Smooth sailing for the rest of it.

I don’t know if this is a strike or not since I’m not a drinker. Was getting my wine making gear together and found a twelve year old bottle of Blackberry wine. lol

I would work on that for the rest of the day.

This

I’d take about half a glass to put me to sleep. lol

Nap time it is then.

I could go for a nap, I vote nap time.

Nobody has time for a nap. Quit acting your age.

Just remember

Well HT, you’re in decent enough company …yesterday I found my rear bracket had broken in two from the leaves . The only thing holding it together was the bed. I went in to get the ball joints replaced, and I found the other problem too. Both of those situations could have made a bad day worse on the road , I am very thankful my truck held together until I made it to my mechanic in town , some miles away.

I will have new brackets and ball joints , and that is a good, safe thing. And I didn’t come apart on the road .

Makes you appreciate the good days.

Too bad they're so few and far between!

Those are some weird looking cant hooks. Possibly of chinese origin?

You being an expert and all, wouldn’t recognize stuff from Tractor Supply.

Those cant hooks look very wussy. They can't do the job they were made for. My cant hooks can do the job. They are very heavy. You can usually buy very good cant hooks at auction, in the same lot as a lot of other tools, for under $20.00. Great tools are so cheap at estate auctions, I don't understand why anyone would buy new, crappy ones.

Keith

Okay genius, guess how many cant hooks were available at estate auctions around here?

Well the truck isn't getting fixed the same day, but not an expensive problem. The broken stick is mans oldest problem. Id say it's nothing to get you down for too long. I type this from my recliner as I'm being blasted by the a/c with a cold beer in my hand.

Heres some expert advice, go to a logging/chainsaw dealer and buy real tools....
