What did you do today?

Hello, Diablo.
Any way to get your current blade re-sharpened?

I’ve got so many blades that I prolly won’t have to worry about running out of sharp blades until the end of the year at least. I think I paid around $700 to have them all sharpened in 2017. I’m seriously considering buying my own blade sharpener.

Sharpening your blades is cheaper than buying new ones and they are way sharper than when they come out of their package.

I have sharpened chain saw blades and lawn mower blades, never tried anything else.

I read reviews on a harbor freight sharpener. Every review said it was total crap. I think mostly because of the sharpening stones being way too rough.
Buy a real sharpening machine and start a sharpening service on the side.

Yeah. I think it will be a few hundred dollar investment but it will also pay for itself the first time around.

You are telling me I am supposed to change the blades on my saws?? Thats crazy talk!!
So I do recognize that I am definitely supposed to change the blades on my saws but I would be lying if I said I did not still have the original that came with my saw 4 years ago and still use it on a regular basis.

Not something I wanted to do, but had to call the cops on my neighbor. My wife puts her little dog out on a lead. Tonight was the 4th time the neighbor's dog attacked her dog. Luckily I got there quick and she was not hurt. The same dog went after my wife once and my daughter once. We have been telling them they need to fix their fence to keep their dog in and they won't do anything. He is a city councilman, so he will find a way to get even.

Man that is no good.
I had a shitty neighbor once, he was a righteous pain in the ass. Last time I ever talked to him my exact words were "next time you come looking to talk to me you had better bring a lawyer or I am bringing a gun" needless to say I never saw him again. Now he is dead and I am not, looks like I won this round. Thank you father time.

 

[C.J.]

All my neighbors are great, does that mean I’m the shitty neighbor?

Well chris, I hate to break it to you but if everyone in the room is an Asshole....


Incase anyone was wondering that is my theme song

I'm going to dig around tomorrow and see if I can find the original blade that came on my 1989 Makita portable table saw.
If I can find it, do you want to buy a brand new blade that's never been used? ...... It's "vintage"

I'm working today.
Watching glue dry is work right?

 

[C.J.]

My PC nail gun that I rebuilt not too long ago started acting up again. Seeing as how it’s over 20 years old I decided to break down and just get a new one. With the current price of wood you woulda thought I coulda traded that pile of sawdust for my new nail gun.

You should be using acrylic type glues
Just drop it in wet

 

[Don Monfils]

Nice gun!, Paslde make a real nice case too.

You still milking that theater carpet, Randy?
Just kidding.... that looks like a pain in the ass!
Looking good though!

I could probably just drop it in wet anyway. That's what everybody else does. For carpet they want you to let it tack up so that the moisture in the adhesive doesn't immediately get sucked into the backing.
I'm not sure if there are any carpet adhesives that don't behave the same way. The downstairs aisle runners were glued to a concrete floor with epoxy on it, so there was zero absorption into the substrate. They don't keep the building 75° either, so we went as long as 45 minutes before setting the material into the adhesive.
We're going to get wrapped up what we need to get wrapped up, tomorrow. The room is done with the exception of four pieces that make up the for field pieces that need to be seamed on.
The adhesive I'm using is power hold 4000. 10 years from now if you try to take it up it will resemble bubble gum.

I've never used or been around anyone that has a paslode nailing gun. Mind me asking how pricey it was? .... And how noisy compared to pneumatic. Also curious if it could be used for self-defense........ You might be able to nail an intruder to the wall till the cops get there.

No not milking it at all. I spent way more time there than I'm billing for. Everybody else in town gives huge donations so they get their name on a porcelain brick in the entryway. I don't need my name in lights so instead of donating I'm just knocking off a bunch of my time. It's still going to be costing about $2,400 to do a large boardroom and two 40 ft runners down below in the aisles.
My brother's been helping me but I'm not adding any time for him being there. In reality, it's expensive to do two aisles and a single room and for me, it's been a mental nightmare because there will be almost no carpet left over at all...... And this has an 18-in match. The pattern is so wild you can actually...... Or even accidentally mismatch the pattern and you don't notice it up close or from far away.
Ask me how I know.

I did some more cleaning, set up mom's coffee maker (ok, it's on the counter wrapped in plastic), broke down some boxes, installed the new phones. Base unit is much smaller than the old one was. Couldn't find just the base unit of the old one to replace it. It's a shame. I wonder if I can sell the extra handsets on marketplace or something. They still work but need a base unit.

Found some stuff on clearance at walmart. Mom kept insisting on finding some sort of UV light bc she claimed she couldn't use her new blood sugar meter until she zapped it with UV first (I think she just didn't want to check her sugar-- can't blame her bc I haven't been checking mine). It was under $5 which made her happy.

Visited my friend and cheered him up. His gf's baby keeps getting fatter. He's so fat he can no longer fit in a toy seat thing designed for 4-yr-olds. He was too big for his car seat that is supposed to be good for up to 2yr olds. I joked that his father is the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man. Friend laughed & said "I thought the Ghostbusters got him, but no! He strikes again!" We all went to the store and friend had to look at toy department. There was a Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man toy so we couldn't resist. The baby LOVES it. My brother wrote a sticky note to put on it saying it was his daddy.

Went to Samsclub and picked up more water and groceries. Brother grabbed some apples and spinach. We're going to have liver, spinach, and cucumbers I think.

Currently serving as a seat for my cats. Predicate gets super clingy every time I leave the house so he's clinging to me.

If that's what you're having for dinner...... I'm just going to stick with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Thanks anyway.
