Cut another 3 Red Maple on Friday (the pic shows 2 stumps), then started changing the bearing on my wood splitter. Seems it was a bit worn!
Had to go to 2 different places, then back again for the seals. Had never replaced a race in a wheel before, but got it done with a hammer, nail set and a socket (although I did not have a socked as large as I wanted, it still provided more surface area than the nail punch for inserting the new race). So I took it all apart on Fri afternoon, and put it all back together on Sat morning. The other side seemed good, but I did it anyway. Good thing I did, everything was all wet in there. Replaced the seal and repacked the bearings … does not have grease fittings!
I then went to a Memorial trap shoot yesterday afternoon. I had not shot trap in about 2 decades. Only go 15 the first round, but was not upset about it at all. Then started the second round … 0 for 3!!! Got mad at myself, and finished with 18! Hey, I'll take 18 of 22 any day!
So I biked with the Grandkids this morning (hauled my 5 year old Granddaughter behind me), then in the afternoon went to practice with my bow, archery season is approaching, and every year that darn bow is tougher to pull back (and I have already let up on the draw weight twice in recent years).
I use 4 practice arrows and shoot 20, 30, 40 and 50 yds respectively, each time. My last set, both the 40 and 50 were in the white, and the 50 yd was in the X, so I figured it was time to quit!
Hopefully, I'll find a deer next month! Have not got one with the bow for quite a while … part of the problem is cross bow now opens 11/2!
I'll let you shoot my crossbow Mike . I thought I was done bow hunting when I messed my shoulder up but then I shot my buddies. I'm 2 for 3 in the last 3 years. The one I missed was because I hit a branch.

Brought a load home from the other property. Found termites in the busted off tree I cut down so its staying in the woods. Not sure what it is anymore. Terrible to split even with the isocore and smells awful.
