Morning folks!

I tried to go to an “estate sale” yesterday at 9 am that advertised on facebook marketplace with a lot of tools. I had 2 jobs so I couldn’t stay long but I had to check it out. At 9:10 there were 50 people standing on that lawn and not a spot to park on the entire street. I circled twice and decided I couldn’t spare the time. 10 minutes later I was picking up a breakfast sandwich from my usual place and mentioned it to the chick behind the counter and how I was really hoping to find a decent compressor cheap.

I get home 5 minutes later and realize I had a missed call. Turns out it’s some guy who overheard the conversation and the lady there gave the guy one of my business cards I put out on their counter. I’m going to pick up a 20 gallon compressor for $50 in an hour :grinning:

Same nightmare my first time. Since then I go 1 hour early if committed and bring a full coffee.

Yeah lesson learned. If I didn’t have to get to those jobs I would have stayed but I was right to leave cause I ended up working until 6:30. Did randomly get a new customer across the street from my existing customer though so that helped ease the pain. Plus it finally happened - I finally had the need for, and purchased… an axe. I’m an axe owner now folks, no need to crowd there’s enough of me to go around.

Nothing hurts your hands worse than that shit. Yet to break an axe but damned if I haven’t started my hands throbbing by missing my mark like that trying to split a log

Deff a bummer when you get a stinger …
Don’t forget on the bigger chunks work it from the outside in :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I’ve also had a axe head go airborn on my back swing .
I wish I had some of my old photos …
Use to do some logging for a guy when I was younger mainly running chains and rigging them and a hell of a lot of splitting …

Almost. I was wearing my chainmail fuckvest. Otherwise spot on.

That pelt seems like it’s less likely to chafe than that chainmail…

It’s a style choice I stand by. Pelt goes over the vest. Sure it pinches my nipples when I swing the axe but it’s just the tax for looking so badass.
