Waiting for some paint to dry so I had to try out the beeper... I think it needs to be louder?

I think the loudness of the beeper is perfect. It is to scale of the machine, if you know what I mean. Any louder and it would be to loud for the size of the machine. Hope that makes sense.

I think so too now that I've played with it again. To be honest I can see myself wanting to switch it off eventually.lol

I played for about 15 min just before dark last night. Yesterday was really nice here so I couldn't resist.

The weather was nice here yesterday so I spent a few hours outside in the afternoon before returning to the shop. My wife wants to plant a small veggie garden in the yard this year and we would like to make some raised beds for it. I have a couple of small cedar logs sitting in the play area that I would like to have go away so this is the perfect use of them! I clamped my Dad's "mini mill" attachment to my saw and got to work cutting planks out of one log. This setup doesn't work as well as the larger "Alaska mill" he has but for a small log like this it worked OK. I may need to cut a couple more but this will give us a start and it gives me some sawdust to push up with the RC's!

No improvements to the excavator. I did change the oil it two weeks ago and gave it a quick bath so it looks a little better.lol It's been a great little machine and saved me a lot of money not hiring someone else.

Haha, Davy Crockett. Yeah right. I was just raised to be self sufficient and "get er done"! It's like Red Green said, "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy".lol

St Patrick's day so I had to do something green related. I don't remember when I mowed our lawn for the first time last year but I'm not sure it was this early...



Fish are hungry too!

In all your pics & vids Reg I have never noticed where your lawn was in relation to the house & shop?

It looks like a sunny day in June there! everything so green ... it looks like January here being blanketed with snow again the last two days. ...you would never guess it was +20 here last Saturday.

The koi pond, mine was too big to cover. That's the reason I ended up turning it into the backyard dig site. The hereins kept eating all my fish!! Had several 14"+ koi and they would get them out of water somehow and just peck at them. Guess the bright colors were more attractive to them compared to the hundreds of minnows 100 yards away!!!! Looks good reg!!!
