Watered the girls, swapped the timer to flip to 12/12. Filled the ice bucket and beer shelf, and put away the laundry.
Only 90 out at the moment, AQI down to 142. Cant see the smoke down the street now, however all it takes is a slight wind shift and we'll be back in it.

Stock photo, not my machine but of the two I do have, neither can be picked up with our 4K forklift.
I do all sorts of machining/fab/welding etc. . .
Custom Hydraulic cylinder from scratch? Not a problem.
Anchor chain fairlead w/ bracketry? Gotcha.
Replace Crane turntable bearings? Piece of cake.
etc . . .
I've built at least a dozen of these powered coilers from scratch. As the line gets pulled through the line hauler block it goes to this machine that
coils it inside the drum. We're talking up to 1000 ft + of 3/4" poly line.
If you've seen "Deadliest Catch" you have seen at least a couple I've built.

I recognized the coiler from there.
Mine don't say "Marco" - pic so you'd get the idea

I don't remember seeing any brands on the coilers, just how they were set up next to the "winch".

I worked in a machine shop for many years.
I saw a lathe let loose of a 40 lb casing. That piece shot 100 ft up punched through the roof,
came back down through the roof about 25 yards away and landed in assembly nearly hitting someone. Lucky no one was hurt.
That so cool, I watched that show and gold rush where they're dredging gold in Nome. You guys are all so handy, building your own shit. I'm impressed!

I love all the Alaska and fishing shows...
Why do plumbing problems always seem to come in multiples. I was about to go get groceries this afternoon when I get a text..."Water coming through our bathroom ceiling", from my newest tenant. Lovely... I gather tools and go over...He wasn't kidding...a good 20 gallons...like a repeat of yesterday! I got all the water sucked up and started the repair, broke a drain pipe and said see you tomorrow! It's in such a tight spot, is the worst part. No, all the college kid germs is the worst part!!
I could call a plumber if I wasn't so frugal...I mean cheap! But then I have to meet them there, stick around while they do it, and then get butt-raped when they are done. Might as well do it myself!

I’ve been rocking good boots since like 2 years into the trades. Before that I would buy some cheap ass boots like sears diehards. I would be walking around like I had hemorrhoids for like two weeks on the job because of the blisters them cheap fuckers would do to me. I’ve been rocking at least wolverines since, my last good pair were some ariats you know what happened to them.
Ever since the ariats burned i’ve been buying some cheaper boots that get er done, don’t hurt my feet. But i think it’s about time to splurge a little and buy some good ones.
i’m not sure it will help my back but what the fuck am I doing wearing cheap ass boots?
these are the cheap ass boots i’ve been rockin. Don’t laugh and yes my legs are dirty as fuck because i’m walking on some dusty ass dirt when i’m not up on the dance floor.
^^^^third pair lol.
Cheap boots from tractor supply that have been working.
Thanks for the reminder bro.

Wtf? Like you were fat? Lol.My sciatic gets bruised hopping on and off forklifts, tractors, pick up trucks. I stopped all of that and decided to just live off my good looks.
Oh, have I told you I'm losing weight too?

@GreatwhiteNorth , Have you ever run into any of the "Real TV" Alaskans? Brown Town looked challenging.
Lot's of wide open spaces out there, maybe not. Just thought I'd ask.
