Around the place and a thief.

[delnorter]

Putting a new roof on my woodshed. Using recycled heavy gauge galvanized metal sheeting. Got the metal from an old building being torn down. Had to do some straightening and pugging of old screw holes, but worked pretty good.

Little harvest from the garden for dinner and storage. Small white onions, patty pan (silver dollar) squash, big beef tomatoes, zucchini, and yellow plums. The jar holds a soil sample, I’m testing, from my sons garden in Livermore. Lot of clay.

Remember my redwood slab cutting photos? Everything got stolen while I was visiting my sons a couple weeks ago. A nice Husqvarna saw and Alaska Mill, Makita drill and large battery and other tools. Then whoever went to my old cabin and kicked in the back door. A quite old 3 panel antique door. Just typical house stuff in the cabin so not much was taken but……….

These we’re some of the tools for enjoying my recent retirement after many years of hard work. It’s discouraging to say the least. Otherwise life is good.

The garden food looks right tasty.
Sorry to hear that some rat faced POS stole your stuff.
Hope you had some insurance.

Nice photos, hope you find out who the dirtbags were who robbed you!

I do milling of cuban mahogany trees with the same Alaskan mill and Husqvarna saw. I once paused while cutting a tree for some water.....I walked in the house and got a drink.....all of a sudden I hear yelling outside. I walk out and my neighbor is wrestling with some guy who has my saw and mill in his hand.....my neighbor is trying to pull the saw out of the thiefs hands as he trys to throw my saw in his van. When I got out there he gave it up, and tried to get back in his van....I blocked his entry with an open hand slap to the face. I threatened beating him to a pulp, but eventually we let this arse go.....he was lucky to get away with just a slap. My neighbor said there was no way he was getting that saw !! Were a tight community down here.....as the would be theif learned the hard way.

So sorry you had your slabbing rig stolen....what a piece of .... well you know what I mean. Hope you can recoup that loss and continue on with another mill !!

That sucks big time delnorter. Be cool if we could all get together and go hunt the thieves down. Might teach them a lesson.

“Constitutional carry” and my “rights shall not be infringed” are terms that need to be made familiar to more people.

You just gave him a slap!?!? Should've broken his hands! It's called crime prevention. Broken hands = can't steal ,= crime prevented......

This dude was ready....I barley got the slap in.....he was darting around and very worried about 2on one....we let him jump in and drive off. I've never left that saw that close to the road ever again !!

 

[Blak bart]

Hey delnorter......I have a spare chainsaw mill....used but in working condition. I could break it down and send it to ya if ya want ? Its just sitting here right now.

 

[delnorter]

That is very kind of you Blak bart, but please hold off on that. I’m kinda going through all my “retirement dreams” and figuring out where I’m headed. At 71 years old I need to evaluate my abilities and desires. This incident was a wake-up to what’s important.
Again, thank you for your kindness, I see why you and your children are always smiling in your photos.
