Rain day. By the time it quit my motivation was wrecked. I did fire up a couple trimmers and whatnot to make sure everything is happy. Found a broken vent line that I'm out of at the moment of course.
When you least expect it... Out of the shadows.... C.A.D. Strikes! I'm possibly ordering a new one today.
Crapped out on woods time this weekend. Getting tired of this miserable weather. Went to the big motorcycle shop yesterday. A buddy needed some stuff so I tagged along. Did get me a gallon of oil for the buggy. Took opportunity to try on some helmets I've been curious about. These guys must have 300 bikes on their floor. This is just a small section. So many buggies they have them out in their parking lot. A MSF course was going on when we left. The building smells like new bike.
Pretty good weekend. Made a little wood. Funky grains again. Planted 50 of these in various places. Got some more sticks picked up a long with a mess of dead junk trees that fell on one of the yards. No good wood. Since I had the tractor out for it I went and started scraping the leaves and sticks off some trails today.
Got rid of an elm and some branches Friday evening. Had taken the day off to clean on my truck and get first mow done. Stellar wether. Cleaned off some of the main trails. Bluebells doing thier thing. Checked the smurf village. So far just these two little ones. Red maple gave up. I can get to this one. More trail cleaning and some fishing yesterday. A little chestnut oak that was blocking a trail. Great saws. Stump stood back up. Pulled a little hickory from here that I've been eyeing. Left the branch wood behind for now. Got the oil changed in the buggy yesterday also. Pretty productive weekend even though I'm nursing a bad trigger finger. Yesterday was one of the nicest weather days I can remember recently. Gonna go check the shroom patch again in a couple days.
Got nothing done in the woods Saturday. I am poorer and richer at the same time. Triumph found a new owner. I got what it was worth...why do I still feel like I got taken? lol Figured I'd finally test out this Kawi oil I bought cheaply. So far so good. Mixed a gallon up for the thirsty trimmer. Bucked this hickory. The chestnut still has tto much mud on it...needs rained on some more then I'll get it sectioned. Went and ran the weedeater for about an hour. Broke the seal for the year. Yay. Then wanted to get a rifle sighted. Ruger 77/357. I took 124gr .38 special. Only fired one round. They were coming out supersonic and I didn't want to make a rukus yesterday. My benchrest. lol So those fancy target dots are overpriced. I found these at Uncle Wally's for a dollar something. Not yet to grips with the fact that where my motorcycle has been parked for 13 years is now an empty space. So why'd I get rid of it? Because it mostly has just sat in that spot for the last five years. It's too good a bike for someone not to be riding it. Luckily I found the right buyer. Has formerly owned a Daytona 675, so he knows what these bikes are and appreciates them. He got probably the cleanest example for hundreds of miles around. Seemed happy about it.
Full of beads that were purchased at the now defunct JoAnn Fabrics store. A former coworker used to 'generate' quite a few empty Crown bags. I asked for some and have various uses for them. I used to have my own made sandbags from some heavy cloth bags but the dust would come through. Plastic beads way to go.
