unicorndukeI moved Monday's day off work to today, it has rained almost an inch overnight, everything is soggy. We're out of town for my brother's wedding next week, so I'd rather work on the nicest days to get a lot done.
Our replacement blueberry plants have arrived, the nursery didn't label the box as live plants this way up, so when we opened them, the plants were jumbled all over the place. Clearly the shippers had stacked them sideways, but how were they to know? I trimmed all the broken branches and watered them well.
Nick of Time Textiles had a sale and my mom requested me to fix her purse that I made. She's rougher on her purse than I anticipated, so I had her pick out some canvas fabric so I can make her another one that she'll use everyday. Plus, I just happened to get some more fabric so that should be arriving today.
Granola is in the oven.
I may do some chainsaw maintenance today, we need to get cutting trees for wood stove purposes too and I want to get the chainsaws in good condition.
Good news, I now have healthcare! The state is covering everything. Thank goodness. The bruise from the dog bite is starting to fade, it's now less swollen and only about two and a half inches across and has scabbed nicely.
I'm alternating between spinning and watching things and playing video games. Probably need to do some cleaning in my room

That's a lot and I hope the chainsaws behave. So many of them seem to be held together by habit and get amnesia as soon as a bolt comes out.

Date: 2025-05-09 06:14 pm (UTC)In general, yeah, but that's got the flip side that because it's generally simple and robust you don't generally have to do maintenance and people neglect it and then everything's worn together into an extremely specific configuration.
It's tough to make things worse by trying to sharpen a chainsaw chain. (At least if one is starting off with a reasonable conception of what's happening and you know sharp from dull; I say this because of a story from a rental place where they wanted to be reassured I wasn't got to try to square the teeth up.) Don't really even have to worry about metric vs imperial files.
And yeah, about the air filters; anything will choke on sawdust and it's flammable.
