Thanks! It works pretty good, gives the wood some waterproofing also. Cheaper than most treatment options too lol

I’m one of those weirdos that doesn’t throw away my waste from changing oil and fluids in my vehicles…I use to treat the wooden handles of my tools and such, like hammers and axes and all that. Today, I used it to treat the wood on my little 5x8 trailer, which honestly probably needs replacing but this should give it another while before it comes to that.

It’s pretty fun! I hated it as a kid but we were also doing traditional till and row gardening so it was a lot of work lol

Onions looking good. Got berries popping out all over the strawberry plant. Couple of the taters looking awesome. The random beans we planted appear to have luckily ended up being some kind of bush bean and they’ve got beans coming on. Got a bunch of the chocolate mint cuttings put in dirt and listed them on Farmish. Got that pile of limbs chipped up and put the mulch where my wife parks her car (trying to reduce how muddy it gets there, it’s a low spot in the front yard). What twigs and leaves wouldn’t go through my chipper got put into the worm bins, and then gave the bins a good soaking and got about 3ish gallons of worm juice to put in my compost bins.

Successful day of staying home to help my wife recover from a stomach bug and wrangle our youngin. Mother in law had the youngin until about 1pm due to us going to the hospital late last night to make sure it was just a stomach bug, so that helped me get the big stuff done first.

Yeah, I already had zbd and it had some sats in it from playing solitaire so I was like whatevs lol it’s actually pretty seamless with Damus so far, it just has a little kink every now and then, but that could also be my phone in some instances cause it’s an iPhone X that’s like 5 or 6 years old now

It’s way fancier than anything my dad had either, and initially I balked at the prices, but after seeing reviews about it, having to buy another $25 belt kit from harbor freight every few months didn’t make much sense.

As for the zap, I appreciate even the thought, sometimes it’s finicky and it just don’t wanna cooperate so I checked everything and it’s all normal lol

Yeah I’ve really been won over by Occidental, they’re using like 1/4” thick pieces of leather, lifetime stitch and Rivet repair. Dudes are out here with 15+ years on their Occidental leather and I’m pretty sure most of them have never once cleaned/conditioned it.

#OccidentalLeather Green Building Fastener Pouch came in yesterday. Maybe I can get this put on my tool belt and stop leaning to the right lol hopefully my Kobalt 35’ tape fits in the tape pocket without much issue.

Yeah I’m a 6.5 Grendel fan personally. There’s dudes out there with 12.5” barrels popping 1k yard targets. The round stays supersonic past 800 yds out a 10.5”.

Yeah, could be that too. They’re all three short and stout, grendel being 6.5x39, ARC being 6x38, and PRC being 6x31

I was telling a friend earlier today that I had always known at some level that fathers would do great and terrible things for their children, but now that I’ve got my own it’s a much deeper understanding of that. It’s unexplainable. You can’t fully understand it until you have a child. But what you can understand is that you don’t ever get between me and mine, because there ain’t nothing I won’t do to correct that.

Less than 24 hours and already noticeably turning green

Didn’t say it was impossible. I said I struggle with it. It’s a skill set, and skill sets take time to develop, which requires taking time from other goals I have such as playing with my daughter, working on my garden setup, working on the kitchen cabinets that are currently half torn apart, etc etc. the software side of things is also something that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for me, and I’ve dedicated some money and time to trying but haven’t gotten there yet. Therefore it comes down to deciding where my priorities are and what does me better profit. Do I spend untold hours trying to figure it out at a rate of $20/hr or better, or do I drop the money on a plug and play machine and go do something that makes me money for those same untold hours?

They’re not marketing this for the build-it-yourself crowd. They’re marketing to guys like me that know they could but also struggle to find the time to do so and struggle with all the software sides of things. Let’s be real, all the walkthroughs for installing/running all the different OS are confusing as fuck if you’re not a techie. There’s all kinds of abbreviations and acronyms, even on the walkthroughs labeled “for dummies” because you forget what you didn’t know. You forget that when you started learning a thing that you didn’t know what jpeg was.

All that being said, I’m probably not gonna pay $700 for it but mostly because I have other priorities for that money, but these kind of things are the kind of machines people like me want and will pay for. The first generations are always more expensive.
