Always wanted to run one of these, don't care what the safety police say about loosing limbs!
And to be able to buy something off Binford Blvd, how cool would that be lol.View attachment 1075642

Broken thumb or wrist, but yes I want to try it.

We had something in the yard at 3 am. Let the dog go and came out with the 10/22 but nothing. Something had made holes in the chicken wire on the run. Got some 3' green wire fence and covered it up. Possum is my guess, racoon would have killed them. Made prime rib on the gas Webber last night. It does a bang up job.

Always wanted to try one myself

One time I saw a guy splitting "round" lengths around 4-6' for something, it had no problem with them at all and it didn't seem very dangerous to me. Although someone with no experience or mechanical aptitude, should probably not be using them, much like most power equipment.
Not sure I shared this before, but one time our old minister said he needed a chainsaw to cut some stuff up behind his place, I said I'll bring a saw over. He said really, I said absolutely not, unless I'm with it and I'm running it. He's a great guy, and very good with people, but doesn't have a mechanical bone in his body . But, that's why the scriptures talk about there being many parts of the body.

Yeah, some things are just best experienced personally lol.
They actually work quite slow, but you sure don't want a piece of clothing getting on that cone.

Heading home now. My wife is driving and I'm stomping the imaginary brake pedal. I'm supposed to sleep and take the nightshift but it's hard for me to sleep when someone else is driving.

Here's a pic of a big live oak @ Bon Secour Wildlife refuge.

What's the rules on hunting Roo's. Some one told me they are the national animal and can't be hunted. Then, one of our favorite Tap houses had Roo Taco's. Tehy were pretty darn good.

Yeah, you get in trouble if you shoot them in your back yard. We have up to 20 on our property at a time. They move around a bit in the surrounding properties but don't go too far. There's one mother roo with a little one that is almost tame.

There is some commercial harvesting in some parts. Roo backstraps are great, very lean too. Now and then some gummint official will decide there are too many of them (mostly up north) and then shoot a bunch of them from a helicopter.

Too bad the government doesn't trust its own people with a 'roo season.

@Lee192233. I have the same problem in the wife's car with the passenger side brake pedal.

 

[SS396driver]

Left front wheel locked on my motorhome . Really need to move it back and forth over the winter. But I got it to break free . Need to bring it for inspection this week

 

[turnkey4099]

wish u would could... fix site so i dont have to wait for reload reboots all the time!

I have he same problm but it is the slow internet service (broad band), not the sites fault. Today it is so slow I have to skip the pictures.

My wife's a good driver. It's the whole not being in control thing.

Birch scrounge! So we offered (which means wife offered knowing I'll take free firewood) to clean up a tree that had fallen in a friend's elderly parent's house in town. Someone had cut most of it into manageable lengths, which meant the large parts were short enough, but the smaller branches were left at 10'. Since it was in a residential area and the owners weren't home, I decided to borrow an electric saw from one of my daughter's coaches to cut it up so i didn't attract attention. He likes it a lot and had offered to let me try it previously and this seemed like the perfect use case.

Already have a few requests for birch logs for decoration. I'm going to have to start directing people to my Etsy store! LOLView attachment 1075491View attachment 1075492View attachment 1075493

When my Dad used to get $50 for a cord, he sold 5 sticks of White Birch for $1. I tried it a few years back and had ZERO, interest. I was surprised because he always sold out. I guess the difference is I live out in the country, and all of his sales were in the city.

Went hiking today up the Bruce Peninsula. It's been record breaking hot here for about a week, over 26°C or roughly 80°F. Saw a few of what I believe are baby massassauga rattlers, Canada's only venomous snake. Might snow tomorrow evening so we take it while we can.

Can't stand how my wife drives, in the 13 years we've been together she's driven a total of 5 times with me in the passenger seat. 2 of them were taking me to the hospital, 1 was an evening I got drunk at a bar with a buddy and the other 2 times were on our honey moon down to Florida. We left at 5pm made it to Florida in 14 hours, I was too tired ro make it to the campground we were staying at, so she drove and I was supposed to sleep. Yeah, I couldn't sleep. We had my Isuzu rodeo, lifted 6 inches with 33" tires on it, as you can imagine passing people was an act of God, but somehow she managed to keep the speedo up over 100mph and get around everyone she wanted to. Think she drove for a whole 45 minuets before I spotted a rest stop and we stopped off for a few hours..

Beautiful pics Just Jeff, but I don't think that looks like a Rattler, but I'm no expert on what little ones look like. Just seems like the head is too narrow for a viper.

Had a busy weekend so far. Bow shoot yesterday morning, then out to lunch, then took all the skids out of the wood shed and cleaned them out from the wood junk. Didn't touch the last row of skids as they were still full of wood, I'll need to rearrange them to the front so I use it up first this year.
Today I had my nieces birthday. Dang the kids are getting old quick. All our young ones turn 5 this year. Oldest Will be 8. My oldest 7. I remember the day each and everyone of them were born and brought home. Seems like yesterday.
Got home, cleaned out the chicken coop then started bucking wood with the 610evl. It's not the most gutless 60cc saw I've ever ran, but it's definatly one of the heaviest,lol. Had good torque though, didn't struggle too bad with the 24" bar on it. I ran Tru fuel through it then put it on the bench so I can clean it up, then shelf it. The 400 will be coming out tomorrow for sure lol.
The vw is working good, got a bigger intercooler for it I need to install and the tuner guy keeps finding more power out of my set up, right now I'm fueled for about 150hp (90hp originally) and she pulls strong to 5k rpm, before it fell flat on its face at 3k, almost like it hit a wall. Much more enjoyable to drive now. Very much looking forward to breaking 180hp out of it.
