Hi everyone,
Please don't get mad at me because this is not about pens! Be nice.
I have not been around much lately. Last year I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. It involves many symptoms but the worst is 24/7 pain, fatigue and I am forbidden to do any heavy lifting!!! Two years ago I was cutting up and hauling downed trees and lifting sheets of corian! Any way just before the diagonsis I had bought a new Powermatic 3520 with the dream of making large items! Large items take large logs and both of my kids are away at college and my husband is gone alot.
I already was very bad. I spotted a very large downed limb of a boxelder tree a few weeks ago, got permission and went to work one it on a very cold midwest day, chainsawing and somehow getting these huge logs into my van. When I got home I precended to unload them and get them in the back so I would not get caught by my husband doing something I was not supposed to do. Well I paid dearly for it suffering several days in terrible pain.
I know this is has nothing to do with penturning but with all those intelligent guys and gals out there I have a question. Does anyone have an idea how I could get logs into my windstar van without killing myself?! Do they make some kind of ramp for the back or one of those ramps with many rolls on it? I could make something but would prefer to buy, if something like this is avalible.
My husband is already putting up a pully system for me to get the logs to the lathe.
I am not giving up doing pens. I just needed a change. My timing could not have been worse!
Thanks for listening to something other than pen talk.
Alice
