Darn. It didn't take long to fill those shelves. Many of the jugs were purchased on clearance or other sales prices, so I try to stock up. Maybe I need to continue the shelving over the man door.

I liked the vanilla yogurt bread a lot, so here we go again:
Great for toast with my morning eggs and for sandwiches. No cast iron was harmed in the baking of this bread.

Good Heavens! How much bar oil do you have! You've got BOAD (Bar Oil Acquisition Disease). Or LAD (Lube Acquisition Disease).Darn. It didn't take long to fill those shelves.

LOL! Only 26 gallons (plus a partial in my chainsaw box). When it is on sale for $4.49, you buy more than you need in the immediate future. Same with synthetic oil for diesel engines and synthetic oil for gas engines. Oh, and washer fluid. I probably paid full price (ugh!) for a few of the bottles there.

That line about the blade tips strikes me as a challenge.

Blade tip speed is a real thing. Have a look. It's a good thing to know.
I'm very familiar with it... not only from outdoor power equipment but also from other tools (e.g., circular saws, grinders, etc.). In the context of the book's comment, the notion of having a sonic boom under a rotary mower deck is intriguing... as is having one in my Snapper SG8000 chipper/shredder.
That said, I put a tach on the Snapper yesterday to see how close my ear was when I set the throttle the day before. I found I was about 200 RPMs too fast... but it did chip better! At 3,600 it seems anemic in comparison. 
Had a productive day up at the cabin. Weather was great, mid 40s in the morning and a bit over 70 in the afternoon.
Harold worked on the carpentry while I unloaded and stacked 42 - 80lb bags of Concrete on a pallet, then covered it with a tarp. I'm pleased my body is not hurting much at all after playing with the concrete for two days in a row.
I also sanded and re-stained a Red Oak bench that we keep outside, it was in need.
We saw 4 grouse all together in the dirt road on the way up the mountain ... they did not even fly, just walked away! It is the most I've seen together in several years ... hope it means they are coming back! The season is actually open, but I didn't even bring my gun!
I also let Harold run my recently revived 066 in the woodpile. That saw is running very strong, and Harold was Ga Ga over it, I could not get him to put it down! He says he wants one even though he has little use for one. I told him anytime he needs it for anything to just let me know.
The logger left us with an "improved" view, but I plan on making further improvements. I think the view will improve a lot with a few more trees removed.

I had a great weekend up north with my wife celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary. The grandparents were kind enough to watch the kids for us. I went grouse hunting while she slept in. We went for a 60 mile ride on the UTV. Thankfully we made it back because the belt started slipping when taking off. Just one more thing to fix!
It was cool enough that we had a fire both mornings in the woodstove. Warmed the place up from 64 to 74 which my wife likes. Felt good to watch the fire while sipping some coffee.
Hope everyone has a great week!

Nice
Morning guys
Busier than a bee over here. Many fall projects to wrap up but we make a little progress every day.
Yesterday I ran the saw and brush saw for about 45 minutes. Weāre opening up a brushy area off the driveway for additional trailer parking. I donāt have the 3k to gravel it right know but at least we can back across the rough ground. There were 5 trees from 5-10ā I couldnāt cut due to the extreme winds but the rest of the area is clear. Way too dry to burn so the boys have most of the brush loaded on the trailer to go to the dump.

Back to the scrounged pile for a few minutes late yesterday, cutting several of the large rounds and the poles and to OWB length. I need to start another oak stack as I've filled all of the ones I had previously. 
Had another cherry volunteer sacrifice itself almost on top of the wood stacks. This was only one half of it where it split into two about 20' up. I'll probably wait until all the leaves are gone to drop the other half. Have to be careful where you step here because there are so many acorns it's like walking on marbles.

It would have to be limited to the lawn mowing and not the grass cutting! Plenty of targets in the grassā¦. My father broke a bunch of spindles on the zero turnā¦

Normally I don't push mow a lot but the squirrels thought my rider mower looked like a nice winter food storage, pretty sure they chewed one of the coil wires too, so until I could fix that I was trying to knock the immediate area around the house down to keep mice from having cover to make it inside with out the cat seeing them.It would have to be limited to the lawn mowing and not the grass cutting!

I was trim mowing a lot of areas I cant get with the rider and bam, dang it, forgot that was there........
Mr. 3lb Estwing got her back running true though! well true enough for this guy.
