when and How often to oil pneumatic tools

5/23/2022

Lubricate the Air Fitting
Squeeze 4-5 drops of pneumatic (Airomatic) tool oil into the air fitting daily. If the tool is used all day, repeat the process halfway through the day. If the tool is not used very often, just oil it when the tool is used.

The Importance of Oiling
It may seem like a no-brainer, but pneumatic tools require regular oiling and lubrication. Without this degree of care, the parts inside will start to grind against each other. Eventually, the tool will erode itself into uselessness.
Amazingly, “we’ve seen many tools at our repair center that have never been oiled: Never,” says Johnson. “This actually happens, even though almost all the air tools we sell say ‘oil daily’ right on the housing. All technicians know the need for grease and oil in automotive applications, yet a few of them don’t see the need in their air tools!”
“For all air tools, a lack of grease and oil probably accounts for most damage,” says HECAT’s Matis. “     The only other factor that consistently causes damage is water in the air line.”

Winter Support, for your resident Bird family

1/2/2022
Oregon Christmas Snow Hummingbird
Christmas Snow 2021
Those little Anna Birds that stay the winter months here in Oregon. Need our constant watch over the nectar. I have three rotating feeders. 

My recommended favorites:
​easy to clean,
no yellow flower to mess with.

Of course all 6 of our 7 feeders are hung with, Out on. Limb pulley system.
Hummingbird Nectar Recipe
4 cups boiling water
1 cup S & H Sugar   (during the Winter I add an extra tablespoon) 
(quality sugar doesn't fog up as fast)

Pour boiling water with Sugar, mix throughly, cool completely and  fill clean hummingbird feeder. 
Please do not use pre-package nectar
​it is filled with dyes and preservatives. 

Must have the "little" brush to clean the holes

a very pretty feeder, was a gift, but not an efficient design. Thumbs down. Works well for "meats" in the summer.
And of course the best solution weather guards.

I'm Back, Evening Grosbeaks (Pacific Northwest)

4/26/2021
PicturePhoto Credit:Bellemare celine Macaulay Library, Quebec, Oct. 23, 2018
Need a little more color in your yard?  
So excited to welcome them home. 
After a couple of weeks of warm weather here in the Pacific Northwest, sure that the migrational family would take advantage of this nice weather to arrive.  I stand corrected. All it took was a little rain, surprise, next morning awoke to more yellow in our yard than Tweetie Bird detouring Sylvester the Cat!
Between the arrival of migratory Yellow Finches, and the Evening Grosbeaks, our feeders have been depleted at an alarming rate. Hence another trip to the feed store for black oil sunflower seed. 
I swear I heard the male calling from the treetops for two days before a sweet community of birds arrived in mass.  MaleEvening Grosbeak come to the feeder and then calls the female in. Couples eat together, the family eats together, it is a family affair. 
Don and I were just commenting yesterday under the canopy of our Sweet Gum trees. It sounds like we live in an aviary. 
Remember to keep your oranges out for Orioles, haven't heard any reports that they have arrived.
Your Hairy Woodpeckers delight in the suet year round and help to keep the tree bugs at bay.
Hanging a secondary humming bird feeder is always appreciated and keeps the hummer wars at bay.

The female is no less stunning. She's coy and expecting of the male's neighborhood influence which ushers her to the best feeder in town. Their hierarchy is less aggressive than some of the smaller backyard birds. Perfectly suited to share the seed catcher net at the bottom of our feeders.

Orioles: Time to put out your oranges and grape jelly

4/12/2021
Picture

To Date, I have not yet had an Oriole arrive in my yard. (That I have seen) 
The main issue would be that I wasn't prepared during their spring flight to attract them. Last summer, I set a reminder on my phone so that I would not lose the opportunity. Below are some photos from our yard and the clever idea to convert a yard ornament into an Oriole feeding station. The other birds did appreciate the grape jelly I offered.
My phone reminder has sounded it's time here in the Pacific Northwest to put out the yummies for our colorful friends. 

Reminder: Now is the seasons (Mid Spring, Pacific Northwest) to Get your bait out, for a wonderful summer display.

I will certainly post my Northwest Oriole victory here. And try to catch a photo or two. Appreciate your comments and or pics if they come to your house first
​Happy Birding. 
I clipped a couple of my favorite sites for you to glean info from:
​

World Birds: great for feeding and habitat

​Birdweb.org kept me up to date on migration and locations in the Pacific northwest. 
Another great website that concentrates of Feeding Orioles. 
Oriole Zone Map: Looking from a Northwest Perspective
How to Make Oriole FoodOrioles also like the same sugar water your hummingbirds do, with the same ratio of sugar to water. Combine four parts hot water to one part sugar, and mix until the sugar is dissolved.
  • EXPERT TIP: You can buy nectar feeders made just for orioles, but as long as your hummingbird feeder offers perches around the edge, there’s no need for separate feeders unless one species starts chasing off the other.
Feed Orioles Mealworms in SummerOnce nesting season begins, orioles change their food source to insects, which provide more protein and nutritional value. Orioles love caterpillars in the wild. You can offer mealworms as an alternative in your own backyard, presented in an open dish.
  • EXPERT TIP: Use your oriole feeder’s grape jelly dish to offer mealworms once nesting season begins.
Psst—here’s how to identify baby orioles and juvenile orioles.
Do Orioles Eat Suet? Orioles may also visit suet feeders during nesting season. And some backyard birders in southern states report seeing orioles on their suet feeders in winter. Try these orange flavored suet cakes. But generally, you’ll have more luck attracting these birds with oranges, sugar water and jelly. Read More

Discovering the rabbit trail of rabbitrail supply & publishing

7/6/2020

I was rounding the exhausting bend of editing with many questions about publishing, self-publish, I talked with a publisher, totally overwhelmed with the magnitude of Media. Yes, Jesus had made a few suggestions. I started to journal and draw, listen and hear the voice of God.

What is a jot & tittle?

5/13/2020
For me, it's the first place I put my thoughts to. 
In business; how will our product serve
In life; how will I communicate love

Both are a beginning cycle from an end-expression that measures the influences coming in and out of our life. 

Evening Grosbeak
Evening Grosbeak
I began this blog because I want to share with our "Out on Limb" customers the beauty of hosting two flocks of birds in our yard.
Yellow Finches and Evening Grosbeaks.

What is a jot? What is a tittle?
Credit: Got Questions.org 


Question: "What is a jot? What is a tittle? What does it mean that neither a jot nor a tittle will disappear from God’s Law?"

Answer: 
In Matthew 5:17, Jesus assures His audience on the mount that He had not come to abolish the Law and the Prophets; rather, He had come to fulfill them. Then, in verse 18, Jesus emphasizes the eternal nature of God’s Word: “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled” (KJV). His statement naturally prompts the question of what’s a jot? And what’s a tittle?

Most of us are unfamiliar with jots and tittles because most of us do not read the Hebrew language. Jots and tittles have to do with letters and pen strokes in Hebrew writing.

A jot is the tenth letter in the Hebrew alphabet and the smallest. It was written above the line and looks to us rather like an apostrophe:
