me, too JM... I almost posted a comment, but let it slide. anyways... u did it for me! it was a good laff....
WHY is there snow in that wood? Where's the blue tarp?
maybe it was outside seasoning... I did read in the Norwegian Wood book... they do it like that... sometimes!
very! MM. grouse and quail! heck of a tasty bird. I remember my dad getting... and prepping for Sunday dinner. with the caution. bite gently, there may be some shot still in it. and of course, I found it...
I hate splinters! drives me just about totally
til it's out. then... , ah-h!...hope u get it out. careful with that infection. I had one get infected yrs ago. not pretty. had to go to see the doc. things he told me sounded like grunge from the early 1800's... I had it! and it was modern times. the bugs don't know no dif. it was gang-related.
but he cleared it all up and now little more than a past memory... but it was... I say... it was, the start of something that could have got big... and bad.

We can agree to disagree.
Tires make a HUGE difference. Put them cookie-cutter Dully tires on my 7000 pound truck and then put my current wider mud tires on. Test both in my swampy woods and tell me if there’s a difference.
Trust me sir, Iv been there.
13” wide mud tires will complete change how the truck floats on top of the mud.

Good tires make a huge difference.
However weight in a vehicle is a funny thing....I have navigated the same stretch of road with 1/2 ton x-cab truck (5200 lbs), 1/2 ton Suburban (6500 lbs) and 3/4 ton x-cab (7000 lbs). Literally the 1/2 ton pickup with regular 245/75’s will navigate mud and snow better than the 3/4 ton with 285/75 mud tires. Suburban is worse than either pickup, must be weight distribution.

This is from a couple of years ago, but we still do it just the same. Grill a chunk of Backstrap rare then slice it thinner when it comes off the grill.

Definitely nice to have a cab though!
Well the weather experts were way off this morning (they had predicted a low of +2), it was -14 in town and -9 on the house. Water temp in boiler was still 160 at 6 am from the load of hardwood at 10 pm the night before.
