The only way I could make it in 6 hours is if you have all the cops respond to some emergency away from where I'm driving! Well, maybe 10 hours!

that 'stang looks up to the task! lol

@mn woodcutter are you excited yet? That's a 48" dock for reference.

Save on tackle and bait and fuel. Just use a spear..........from your lawn chair. LOL

My record catch was a 45 lb Yellowfin Tuna on a spinning rod with 12 lb test line. Took 2 hours to get it in. I love catching football size Tuna on a spinning rod, nothing better! (Great eating too, and maybe a few Mai Mai thrown in for good measure!)

All most positive the first saw I ever used was a Husq. 36.
Was only 13 and 100 lb's at the time.

Dont know what ever happened to that saw??????

That's just amazing! Can't wait!

I had a picture of two muskies courting in the spring that I took from the boat but that phone got wiped and the photo is NLA from the fishing forum I had posted it on.

It had a silver 50" being courted by a brown 42". Really cool to see.

I still remember when I caught my first musky. Maybe around 36" not a monster , but after all that casting it was awesome....I caught him at lake Webster in northern Indiana....I also caught my first dog fish or bowfin, atleast a 10 pounder, damn thing looked like a snake head..... It was night and I had had a "few" beers during the day and was just trying to catch something off of the dock, hopefully a big musky as I had a chub on... I have pics some were I will look for them, sure glad I didn't try to lip that bowfin they got lots of teeth too....

I checked my saw yesterday. The only identifying information was Trail Manufacturing Canada 1982 on the front of the crankcase. So I am going to call it a 365 as that would have been the model being built at that time.

Almost time for some more birch beer!

Well I got even more wood home this afternoon.

Between hauling loads from that yard tree scrounge home I hauled home that oak I found yesterday and bucked it up.

This all came from my neighbor.

Last spring when @chucker was here helping my harvest my trees the neighbor stopped and asked if he would be interested in a tree job. He came up this winter and cut down a bunch of yard trees and cleared a spot for their new bunkhouse and parking lot. I'm going to net about 6.5 cords out of this deal, about 2/3 hardwood!

Just got my taxes back today. Stuck it to the unc real good last year, although he kicked my butt for the prior two years before that.

Kindling and firewood starting to pile up in the trailer at my current jobsite. Most of it from dead pines. This stuff will go in the Campfire/Firepit wood pile. Elm and ash will be next, as soon as I get all the dead crapwood cut out of the fenceline. At least I can just fell most of these. The big ones near the house and outbuildings, I'll have to climb. Supposed to start raining on Saturday and keep it up for a week. I got lots of other things at home that need to get done, so I'm actually looking forward to the break.
