Nearly 12 years old and antlerless. A true trophy!
JK. That stuff is really interesting though.
Ended up getting home with enough daylight to paint the inside of the last boat. Also resealed the seams of my Grandpa/great-grandpa’s boat. I’ll drop that one in the lake tomorrow to see if there’s any other leaks.

Beautiful Snake!
Matt and I encountered a 6' long Black Racer when we were shooting Sporting Clays on Sunday. They are not afraid of you, nor do they act aggressively towards you. They also like to climb, which is interesting to watch.
kern snake?
Lol eastern milk snake. It seems there may be a Kern snake tho if I remember correctly.
Pretty similar to what she has there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_snake#/media/File:Corn_Snake_Adult.jpg
They don't have trees in Denver
.Story alert, but it is true
. Dad was at a skeet competition in the rockies, while at his hotel, a dog walked in.
Dad never found the owner and broughtit home to Michigan. That was the dog I had during most my childhood, "Rocky", an Irish setter.
nice, I like it.I reset the chain and use the arch to get it all the way in . The winch and arch do a great job though when I do long drags . Side pulls are a little tricky since you’re loading all the force to one side of the arch . I usually use another tree to do side pulls . I can double stack larger on bottom smaller on top . When I’m really loading up (overload) I use the front end loader .

This tree won’t be to difficult since I’ll be cutting into 4-6 ft sections because it’s so twisted
You're just milling the first 5-8' of the trunk, right?
The boards will be from there . I’ll Mill some of the smaller portions into blanks for bowls . In my experience BW doesn’t crack like other hard woods
Lol I see a Christmas present!
Do you turn? I've cut a lot of bowl/turning blanks out of my firewood for my Nephew. I've threatened to start turning myself, but just haven't gotten around to it.
My memory's not great anymore. I vaguely remember you posting your dough bowls. And I believe I've asked, your hand aze is homemade from a leaf spring or lawnmower blade?
Truck leaf spring
We went through this same discussion a year or two ago when I posted a picture of one on the bike path.
They look very similar, (and photos often differ), but based on the location we determined it was most likely and Eastern Milk Snake. The range for the Corn snake is different.

I was unable to attend as I'm feeling a bit under the weather. Any idea how it went?
