Lifestyle Entrepreneur searching for the dream and in the mean time upload a video here and there of random activities on the farm like haying, cutting firewood and lumber, plowing the driveway, tilling the garden, mowing the lawn, watching the clouds go by, the snow melt, stoking the fire and whatever else comes up.
I'm still looking for a 9U or perhaps a B series D6. There's a retired contractor up near the Great Lakes that has over 45 Cats, many of them D6s. If he didn't live so far away, I'd throw him an offer for one of them.
@@AndreasvonT The "B" series ('59-67) and the "C" series ('63-77) overlapped each other by 5 years. I believe they both were powered by the D333 engine. I think Caterpillar's Model 12 motor grader also uses the same engine but I'm not sure.
I had a sighting opportunity near my city today so i tried to see it from my home. I think I saw it tho the light gradually got Brigther and then darker
thats no feat,,,i have a 1948 d4 7U...when i got it in 1988, it had been sitting 17 years,,,,towed it with d7 for 15 ft and it fired right up. No stuck clutches or brakes, Its in my back yard now, hasnt run in12 years, but im sure it will start again with a short push in 3rd gear.
Edited out some of the crazy shakey parts. The camera has a huge zoom feature and I used that. Yeah basically it looks like a big star. Often the brightest one in the sky
@@AndreasvonT Thanks, that's how I observed it. Just wondering why we cannot see it when it does not look like that in other people's footage of it going across the sun or moon.
No way in hell an aircraft can carry that much fuel or the weight of the fuel. Some flights are for over 15 hours so the math is way off on capacity and consumption rates per engine.
Its easy to find the iss if you know when and where to look. The iss is the brightest object in the sky next to the moon. Its easiest to see when the sun has just set below the horizon as the sun still illuminates the station. As in this video its a bright light that might look like an airplane but it doesn't flash. It moves swiftly and silently across the night sky.
This setup is quite dangerous and hard on spring suspension. I know from experience these are dangerous. You are better off using a shorter standard inside pipe and lengthen it to allow for height of load. Just a quick message about your safety thanks and have a great day.
It’s fake…not your video…but the ISS itself. It’s just a projection in the sky. It’s stays the same size, no matter how near or far. When’s the last time you were able to follow a solid object with the bare naked eyes, for example an airplane. The only reason you can see this for so long now n it’s supposed path is because it’s a light projection, not a solid body object.
What a about people who photographed it with a telescop? You can see it like a glowing star is because of its 8 big solar panels reflecting the light. And how tf should the projection work 24/7 lol
@@rqmiii6869 the same way you can see the moon 24/7…it too is a reflection; not a solid body. Think about why you can only see stars at night, but you can see the moon during the day as well, but it’s brighter at night. We live under a translucent firmament that appears blue during the day but is transparent when the sun moves into another portion of the Earth. The sun is under the firmament. Think how a light source works.
@@camwhitman5425 The moon is a solid body. Its a big dead rock in space orbiting us. How do i know? We landed on the moon we orbitet the moon i taken pictures for my self...
@@camwhitman5425 We live under a firmament? Nobody ever saw the firmament wheres your evidence? And if the sun is under the firmament why is the sun not changing size lol? what about tides what about the heat? Why is it not getting warmer if you go up then? HOW FAR AWAY IS THE SUN.
I think i saw it over the uk last night, i could make out 2 downward facing 'arms' 90° from each other but 45° from the main vertical part, i've looked at pics of the space station and can't work out what axis it could have been on to look that way 🤷♂️ it was really bright compared to the satelites i see all the time. It does say online that it should be visible over the uk around this date so it must have been, but it didn't look like i expected 🤔 Edit: it wasn't anywhere near as fast as it was in this video.
Guy: "I wonder if they heard me?" Me: ...🤔... *[begins inexcusably long process of calculating how many orbits before ISS intercepted the sound waves of your greeting]* ...
I've seen many satellites passing overhead and watching them transit the view through my telescope several times. But watching the ISS is definitely a very surreal experience just because it's so bright. It's also cool seeing the ISS gradually turn red, and then "disappearing" behind Earth's shadow.
I bought a Fiskars X5 for my daughter it's a nice little hatchet, but the short handle gives It low power, then i bought a Fiskars X7 wich still a very portable and yet powerful swing hatchet and i love It. Recently i bought a Fiskars X10 and now getting used to it, still easy to carry in a little day backpack and It has a lot chopping power... I think Next upgrade will be Fiskars X15 👍
Loved the simple life, so peaceful! Enjoyed the video. I'm seriously thinking about buying a CK18-20. How often do you sharpen the chain? How long does a chain last? I'm looking to store my firewood in the open air but want some kind of mat/floor that my tractor bucket can scoop it up when needed. No issues with the wood rotting, molding? Thanks!
If the wood is clean the chain lasts twenty or thirty cords between sharpenings. I replace the chain and bar after about 200 cords because things work better with fresh parts. I put the wood on geotextile to keep it out of the dirt. To load with tractor you would need some sort of pavement. No rotting or mold. I try to cut on warm summer days so it gets a good start at drying. Thanks for watching.. good luck
Zooming in is probably not best way of presenting; since you can't actually resolve the station its the motion relative to other objects that is most impressive.
Excellent video! Best real world example of a Cord King m18-20 in action. I am planning on purchasing the same model. I notice that you do not have Auto Clamp or Auto Split. If you had to do it over again, would you purchase those options or recommend them to others? It looks like you have the rhythm down, but would it be more ergonomic to have those features when processing 500-1000 cords per year?
Thanks for your comment. I'm not sure how to answer your question. I am content with the machine. Yeah I would like a longer log deck that has hydraulic lift. I would also like be able to put longer logs on the deck. It was a big investment as it was for me so Im satisfied with what I picked. As for the controls I don't mind the clamp as is. Not sure about autocycle because having a free hand while things are happening might increase the tendency to stick that hand where it doesn't belong Or somthing gets behind the pusher and does damage on the return stroke. I do get a sore lefft shoulder if i spend too many hours on the machine. Not entirely sure if it is caused by this machene or if I injured it during a fall on the unit you see in the beginning and the processor aggrivates that injury. If I was doing 1000 cord/year or more I would probably upgrade to a fancier machine with joysticks and a few other upgrades. I do under 200 cord so this thing i just fine. The bigger investment would'nt make much sense. I am approaching 70 so not going to be making any changes.. Haha
@Roberto_o You'll make up anything to ease your cognitive dissonance. 6 miles vs 254 miles. The ISS would need a light 42 times brighter than the light on an airplane. And for what purpose would they need such a ridiculously bright light? To see "parts" of the ISS? Doesn't add up my friend.
I was just looking up at the stars the constellations have been so beautiful lately being able to see Saturn Jupiter and Mars including all of our other beautiful stars but I happen to catch one flying by extremely fast and it was the iss!! Really cool to be able to spot that stuff with the naked eye especially when you've been looking up forever and ever waiting to find something.florida space coast !
