Don't tell the people of the green pickups that you saw one. Nope, that was just a squirrel. Right?

I could have sat there and watched the little bugger all day, really neat little predator......damn forester showed up and I had to go cut trees.

I've seen fishers and martens around here near river bottoms. Just one of those animals that you know are there you just never get to see them. I have yet to see a bobcat or a lynx in the woods.
Sam- Hows the weather out there? Can you send any hard cold blowing #### this way? ####### 60 degrees and rain today. Looks like I'll be cutting way ahead on this job.

It's been kind of up and down, but it sounds like winter will be getting here for good by Thursday. Cutting dead-on snowline today the last tank. Snowing hard above, raining just below and complete #### coming down on me.

Yup 700 acres take out of production right off the bat if the den site is found. Down here on the Sierra NF we are doing a study on the effects of vegetation treatments on Fisher with the logging just about finished up and then a couple of yrs to monitor and see how they come back into the area. Funny thing is this area was totally cutover in the 1920's like a lot of the West coast forests and they made it through that disturbance so what we are doing should not create any effects but well see what the researchers have to say as our logging future depends on the outcome.

Polaris sold a ton of those 600 triples in this part of the country back in the day, but for anything but across the lake speed, give me a 600 twin and you'll see nothing but taillights through the tight twisty trails through farmers' woodlots we ride on out here.

Apocalypse now?
This is what the moment of solstice looked like over here. Nothing special. It seems the D-day is not an excuse to stay in bed on the other side of the pond either. Stretch your legs and off you go.
Well, this is the judgement day for my facial hair, though. I hate it when it does that.

My dog and I are still alive. The woodstove took off, the Grapple Cat is on the porch complaining about his food.....no signs of the end.
Happy Solstice. Maybe I'll pile some brush and burn it today.

Well, we're still here. I guess I'll have to shave today after all.
Can't remember the last time I shaved... cut a little bit of hair off a few weeks ago... does that count?

Looking from distance it certainly looks like that. But it is a weird limb. Scotch pines never crack in cold.

Samlock; your still in the banana belt. Our daytime high was 37 below. At the house it got up to-39. It's back down to close to 50 underneath right now. I'm gonna have to root around and find a falling picture so I can justify my existance on here.
I have been having fun Chronographing ammo in the cold to see how much velocity it looses when it sits outside and gets to the ambient temperature. I get rid of my face full of brush when it gets cold. I get real tired of the ice pulling hair out of my face everytime it freezes. Which is every time I spend a half hour outside.

BRRRRR! Looking the weather maps it seems Alaska and East Siberia got the cold right now. Banana belt, yeah, suits me. I'm busy and when it gets below -30F I'm not cutting anymore if I had a choice.
Hang on, Glen. It sounds to me you got hands full of interesting things. The trees, they are not going anywhere.
