What Did You Buy Today?

Got a mail drop yesterday, some stuff for the mill.

After we discovered that rats had got into the forklift years ago we needed to look at repair supplies.

Not going to replace wires as 1-0 wire not cheap and we had sent back the extras to central warehouse so we will replace the last foot or so as we have supplies for that.

Had access to the commercial thomas betts crimper but while looking for terminals we saw a hydrolic one on Amazon for 60 bucks and decided to look.

The thomas betts units are 1500 or more bucks, can borrow from work but would rather own something.

Many options on Amazon so we finally found one, 11 dies and 15 ton force in decent case for 55 bucks.

It even comes with a set of replacement seals.

Instructions are funny read, but only 55 bucks.

The dies look easy to make, others had pins sticking out the side, then are just blocks so we can make custom dies for who knows what.

That’s a dangerous place to live, for a rat-mouse!

I'll bet they look like a porcupine when they light up.

I should start a thread named .......................What did you get rid of today ?

Or maybe three threads:

What did you sell today?
What excess stuff did you bury in the yard today?
What did you send to @Aukai today?

Not a one . Theses rules are still all screwed up . He had to drive down from Toronto , then took the Mega bus up to NY city . She could fly in to NY , and I picked them both up this afternoon after coming back to Md. on the Bolt bus . Talk about a logistics nightmare . Daughter flies in from Texas tomorrow , my only trips these days are to the doctors offices .

New oil can was delivered today. The bigger one is a double pump model I will be using with way oil for ball oilers. The small one is a single pump I am using to handle gear oil for the Norton gear box.
