Looks like a lot of fun, I just ride the kids 20" bikes around now and then to show them how the old man used to do itI’ve been racing and riding MTB for 35 years and ride 12 months a year, and enjoy it as much now as I did when I first started,and hiking and of course the wood stuff,View attachment 1210686View attachment 1210687
. Couple weeks ago I had to show one of my boys friends how to do a tail whip, what's real funny is I nailed it the first time, and no I'm not talking about nailing the ground either
.Two yrs ago I was telling the boy look at this nice runout, you should set up a little jump to pop off of. He brought some stuff out and set it up about two foot from the hill, I said no move it back a bit lol.
Then he had to show me how it's done, editing anyway lol.

That snap kick was the star of the show!
We don't screw around here, you move, or get moved
.I watched it after I loaded it on my computer, I noticed how when I first started cutting it basically stopped cutting when I hit that dead branch, dead locust can be real hard. Can't image cutting all the stuff @Cowboy254 and those guys have to cut.
A lot of the maple tops I've cut lately have been just as bad. Bad enough that I've gone exclusively to semi-chisel.We don't screw around here, you move, or get moved

My father would have added “Quality is a management decision.”
Over time it has become abundantly clear to me that price isn’t a reliable indicator of quality… aesthetics can hide a lot!

Check out Redbull Rampage this Saturday, lol
Coopers Hawk hung out with my mom’s steel rooster for at least 10 minutes… a squirrel ran past a few feet away and the hawk just watched it. Then a doe walked up and the hawk took off. Wild Kingdom outside the window!
Some aurora at my house. It was pretty amazing. Got to run a saw today. Trimmed up my mom's spruce that was encroaching on the driveway. Ended up with a truck load of limbs which I burned at home. The ole poulan is leaking bar oil and I buy the good stuff! And my wood getter needs new tires. 
Kind of bland tonight compared to last night.
It looks like you are cracking up in rubberland.
I got my first mountain bike in ‘82… got the second in ‘83: Trek 850. That was Trek’s first “rough terrain” bike. Much of it was worn out and replaced but it’s still got the original frame, wheels, crank arms, brakes and saddle. I still ride it… I don’t use the circa 2002 Specialized Epic much anymore — don’t ride as aggressively these days. I did a 3,142 mile tour on the 850 also… Of my 7 bikes the 850 is my favorite.I’ve been racing and riding MTB for 35 years and ride 12 months a year, and enjoy it as much now as I did when I first started,

NICE warm day here today, not sure how many more we will get so today was the day to get my trailer deck swept off and oiled,
It really soaked it up, so I'll oil it again NEXT summer on a nice warm day, and the deck will last a long LONG time.

No pic yet as I ran out of daylight, but I pulled 4 8' cherry logs out for a friend. He's having trouble finding decent logs to cut. I'll go get some more for him tomorrow. Setting them out in the open 4' apart in a spot he can back right up to them.
Skipped put of work a little early, mostly to avoid being forced into a double shift since one of the kids called off of the late shift. Called up my logging buddy on the way home, ge didn't answer. Figured I'd get started on inspecting and cleaning the furnace in the house. Got the air shrouds off, and noticed a piece of gasket hanging out of the bottom of the pipe adapter. Yep, stupid thin metal warped. (I think you can see it in the first 2 pics.) (Secind note, for whatever reason the back wall is thinner then the rest of the furnace, not sure if it's because of the secondary air pipe gets hot faster or what.) Just happened my logging buddy called me back while I was looking at it, formulating a plan. I told him what was going on, and what my plan was to fix it. He said, just stop and bring the pipe adapter down. I got some 1/2" boiler plate here, well make a stiffener ring for it, and weld it in. Ran down there, dug this big plate out of one of his trailers and proceeded to cut out a reinforment ring. Quite a pain to get the holes drilled in it, darn near was ready to use the fire wrench. Got that finished up just in time to run home and get the kids off the bus. Then proceeded to drag the welder in the house and burn it on. Did inside and outside of the furnace, and yes i still can wedge most of myself into the furnce. Kinda tight, but i managed. Actually turned out quite well.
New fire bricks showed up. Never used this brand. The web site claimed they are high density/temp fire bricks, but they are very light vs the generic Rutland brand bricks I've been getting locally. Figured for $3.56 each I'll give them a try vs nearly $6.00 each locally.
One of the kittens were fostering decided to be a pain while I was bent over taking the old fire brick out and cleaning the furnace. Took it off my shoulder a few times till it decided it was going to do something else.
