My dad left me a worm drive Skill saw, a 10" radial arm saw and a 6" planer with bunch of other woodworking stuff. Someday I'll sell the FJ-40 I have stashed in my second garage and get all the stuff in one place.

My dad left behind a lovely Radial Arm saw. I gave it away to a nice older guy and his son. My dad would not let me use any of his power tools. He was absolutely certain I'd hurt myself. I never had the heart to tell him about the high powered pneumatic tools we used in the OR without guards that were designed to cut human bone and flesh. So I honored his wishes and gave his tools away. He had some really lovely ones too.

I finally made more butter last night, it had been a while and people were clamoring for brownies and shit. It was more of an ordeal, because I decarbed all 8 ozs of popcorn bud beforehand, and that took 4 two ounce sessions in the toaster oven. There are such arguments about whether or not you have to decarb to reach the full thc potential, some say the butter making process itself is the decarb, while others say it is not. All I know is that my previous non-decarbed butter was super strong, but was racey and panicky if one ate just a little too much. It will be fun to make brownies tonight and see the difference for myself.


I forgot to take a pic of it cooking. One weird thing is that the weed kept rising to the top, which never happened when I didn't decarb. I had to keep stirring it and mashing it down for awhile.

Cooked it for a little over 3 hours. 16 sticks of butter, so 2 oz per pound of butter. Strong. The mash was HOT, so I let it sit in the strainer and drain for 30 minutes.

The weed mash still had a lot of butter in it, so I remembered a trick I picked up from @tangerinegreen555 and broke out my large potato ricer. I put large scoopfuls of hot butter mash in and pressed the shit out of it, and let that run through the cheese cloth.

I took the large pot out of the refrigerator a little while ago, and cut it into 4 chunks, a little less than a pound each. It came out super clean. I shouldn't have to make more for a while. I'll report back with effects, wish me luck...

thinking about throwing my undies to the wall see if it sticks. they super wet through lol hot af today at work think the ac is broken plus no fans and we can't leave the door connecting to the main shop open so it's basically just a huge grow tent in that room due to the dehydrator. tired af as usual been up late putting together the puzzle since it's on my computer desk so it;'s hard just to use my computer. this puzzle is actually hard cause it's mostly black and white and a lot of pieces is just all black or another shade of black and they fit in same spots as the correct pieces so idk if it's in the correct spot or not. if it looks like the same pattern i put it in if not i just save it to the side for now and fill the rest out.

got to chop down a few more sunflowers and check on my pineapple chunk doubt it sprouted yet. bosses are super happy though cause they landed walmart i believe last week, food land ( supermarket ) and 7-11 yesterday so were getting fucked in the ass with big orders. hopefully in a few months i can get a raise but i know they just started making a profit since last summer. get paid again tomorrow or monday but gotta talk to them about putting me on payroll soon because i really need the paystubs and all that. open me up a account at a credit union and get lower interest rate for a car and then just get a car loan next year to help build credit. idk yet though still checking out cars and prices for references. prolly gonna go MIA for a while until i get this puzzle sorted out some more. i spend about 6 hours a day after working putting it together. slowly it gets easier but i only got about 1/4th of it finished so far. and it's all random parts as well

Will you emulsify the butter?

I won this during the ceremony graduating apprenticeship program 23 yrs ago.

Only reason it survived was because it had a masonry blade on it and was out on the brand spanking new 400sqft cement paver patio I JUST finished the night before the fire. I replaced all the plastic and it good.

I have all Daddy's old woodworking tools. They were under the polebarn. Now they are where the polebarn used to be. Radial arm saw, planer, table saw, ban saw. I've tarped them, but I bet they are fucked. But we are getting close to more shed space all the time. As soon as I clear out a spot for the wife's she shed, I'm going to work on a spot for a shipping container. {I don't want to see the storm that will blow the roof off it}

I'd bet a squirt with some electrical cleaner in the motor and switch contacts, maybe new brushes, and they all fire up. As long as the motor coils don't get damaged, it's hard to kill those old motors.
