Where's the snow line?

I didn't say it stopped snowing when I descended to the lower elevation. I said visibility improved. There was also snow at 400 FASL.

That's a heck of a score. Hell, multiple scores. Me thinks your CL market is a little better than my CL market - deals like that would be exceptionally rare and would be around only very briefly. People ask $200+ for old Craftsman 6" benchtop jointers, here. $400 would be a screaming deal for a free-standing 6" jointer.

I do really want a nice bandsaw, too, but I want one of the newer steel-framed jobbers with 12"+ of re-saw.

It was snowing at the Syracuse airport this morning, and by the look of the accumulation it looked like it snowed all night.

Hadn't known of him previously, but RIP.

First year out on my own, across the country from Mom's kitchen, I managed 145 briefly. I was somewhat undernourished. But skinny! I was 220 when I left.

Well... Syracuse, so probably it had.

Many years ago I learned that if you turn the lights off in those situations, you can see the edge of the road, at least. Turn them on, of course, for oncoming traffic

I live at about 940 feet. We are currently below the snow line.

It definitely seems to be the case, heck, the person I purchased the drill press gave me a craftsman 6” benchtop jointer (sans the motor), all cast and milled iron from 60ies for free. The sucker was/is heavier than the drill press and is sure to be a contributing factor any future hernias! It’s while searching for a motor to fix to that one I found the second jointer.

I have to say, I scoured Craigslist daily and waited a long time till I found the deals.

From time to time I find that a particular job would be much quicker with a table saw, but I’m ascared of them suckers so much that I’ve managed to do without till now. Router scares me almost just as much, so I’m using it sparingly.

I skimmed this. During my active weight loss period, I paid attention to my protein intake. It was difficult to get more than 100 grams/ day. 60-80 was quite easy. I am not an athlete, though, and probably get in the 60-85 range, daily. And I am much more sedentary than I was in my ute, or even 10 years ago.
FWIW

When I was filling out my hand tools, I had set up an RSS feed so that I'd get notifications within 15 minutes of an ad popping up. I'm not sure if I can still do that, but I'll look in to it if I get an itch.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I picked up a table saw the other week. It's just a little one, though.

I have a healthy fear of the TS and the router, though the new router table seems SO smooth and powerful that it's... well, there's no drama. Oh, and you might like this - I made a coping sled last week for doing things like door panel rails. It's got an acrylic guide for riding along the fence and getting nice, square cuts. Works a friggin' treat. Not bad for some scrap 3/4 ply, a few bucks worth of hardware and one pretty decent clamp.

A family cemetery there in the background? How old is it?
Edit: And is that a wall of clouds to the right, or some other kind of wall?

I have never, ever, weighed a wheel.

Long ago when I was very young, maybe 20 y.o., I worked for my uncle who was a building contractor. One rainy day, too wet to work, he needed to speak with one of the carpenters. Naturally, some of them were ensconced at the local bar. As we walked in, I looked the length of the bar and every carpenter had a hand wrapped around a glass of beer and not a few of those hands were missing part of a finger. I worked most of my life in woodworking and boat building and with powered machinery. I've worked diligently to maintain a high level of attention around those machined. Not just often, but every single day for 50 years or so.

We are at 6 metres. Well below the snow line.

Icy dead people.....

I keep seeing routes on "What's On Zwift" and thinking "That's not much climbing, 800 fee..... oh. That's Meters. So it's 2400 feet."

We, for sure, got another inch after midnight.

As long as one doesn't outpace one's headlights, it's fine. So, I was going like 20mph.

The cemetery is about 200 years old and belongs to the family that owns the surrounding acreage.

And those are clouds.

Truth. Besides being just short of 70, I’ve been getting Eligard injections for the last year and a half.

How's that working out, so far so good?

BillyD

Rightfully so. I got careless one day working on a home project, thankfully the reflexes saved me from losing a digit. There's still impaired sensation in one finger. I have a photo around here somewhere.
