Cut Split Stack Burn
Ran the third leg in the 4x400, did well. Passed one girl.
In long jump, she did 14.7. I thought was pretty good, but she is disappointed. Wants to be over 16 already…
That's why I like those kids. Hard workers! A rarity these days.

Not really, he is pretty selective
More than once I’ve seen him not pull the trigger as the doe were too small for the effort to butcher them.
I guess that’s one of those things you learn with age. My nephew, Chris, if it is brown it’s down (well I bet it wouldn’t matter if it was still in spots for that boy). Me, once the freezer is close to topped off I get selective. But Uncle Mustang, he is selective from the first day of the season to the last…..
To each there own
@chipper1 as requested, some of the prints I've done.
Cord hangers for the shop
The buttons I printed earlier this summer.
Different style cord hangers. These I can dang near put my full weight on, the screws wanted to pull out of the boards. Just some cheapo carbon fiber PETG filimant.
battery and tool holders.
The new printer with the multi color system. The green thing you can see inside it are all printed desiccant holders. If you zoom in you should be able to see the buck i added in. The green and black spacer it sits on is all printed as well. All out of abs. This printer has amazing capabilities with engineering grade filaments.
Printed two of these fox's. Turned out really well.
Kaola for one of my daughters friends.
Side shot of the printer and spacer. Can't tell if you can see it, but under the glass inside is a printed gasket to help seal hest inside the printer. I haven't tested the filiment much yet, tpu, but supposedly you can make gaskets and o-rings with it. Kinda reminds you of a semi soft rubber once it's printed. Whenever I have a ton of free time I found a 3mf for crocks I'm gonna try printing.

Selectivity comes with age. I try and be slightly selective. It's hard when I sit in a stand and think about how much sweet corn they ate this summer. Not so much later in the season. We're in flintlock/ archery season now so less selective. Since I got my buck it's does only for me.
That's awesome dude.
I'll be needing a lot of tools organizing stuff not too far down the road, maybe I better get one, I could set it up in the shop
. My son is really into.all that, he has a Lazer engraver that he's done some neat stuff with and he's wanted a printer. He's been getting into sub and repairing amps lately, also got his ham radio ops license( not sure if he got the upgraded one yet, may have). He's a sharp kid and surpassed my knowledge of electricity, not that it took much.Look forward to seeing the tactical crocks!
Yep, I'm sticking with my wife, no matter what she says lol
.My wife keeps telling me she will be faithful and love me as long as " I " live. .......Yep, I'm sticking with my wife, no matter what she says lol
That's hilarious, true love

Somehow I skipped past this post, well blame it on
.Wish I had a neighbor that was a bit closer with one, my neighbor @Sawyer Rob is around an hr away.
We are multi tasking on the Kern place today. Splitting wood and pest management.

Had a good day on the creek, returned with 5 brookies in the cooler. Didn't bother with pics this time.
My daughter is going to school for welding, so I pick up anything that I think is interesting or unique that she may want to use. I'll probably end up with 100's of pounds of scrap that I take back to the scrapyard in a few years! LOLNice score
You really really scored!

Thought I'd post some pics of a nasty patch of wind fall I'm cleaning up for a customer. It's basically the fringe of a grove of Spruce on her property that borders an old logging clear cut. A lot of my neighbor's are having this problem ever since they logged the forest in tbis particular area. I really don't like dealing with big patches of blow down. It can be quite dangerous. Even if one has a lot of experience dealing with windfall. A lot of hidden dangers. One must look the entire patch over carefully before they begin to harvest and even then hazards can easily be overlooked or hidden. Not the most desirable scrounge for sure! 
The customer is a young lady and has recently been widowed within the year. She dosent have much money, so I'm doing this job for her at a HUGE discount. She's very happy with the price and she is also giving me the majority of the wood. I truly feel for her loss and am greatful I can make her property a safer environment for her kids to play.
With the exception of a few cuts I made the day before. This particular photo is basically a before pic of one end of the patch of wind fallen timber
I will safely dispose of or tip the root wads back into place once the logs and tops are hauled out.
Cut safe, stay sharp and be aware.

Get ya sum ,LolTop of the morning to ya Gents!
Thought I'd share a picture of a bar tip I punched out and replaced for a friend yesterday evening.
Now I know many of you fellers already know this, but I'm going to reiterate for those that don't.
The importance of flopping your saw bar!
As you can see in the picture one rail is burred much worse than the other. That was obviously caused by more friction on the badly burred rail.
Over time this will affect the longevity of the entire bar and even the sproket. Improper chain tention plays a roll in this also.
For example. Too tight or too loose.
Flop your bars regularly gentleman. Your saw and wallet will thankyou. I clean my rails and flop my bars every time I take the chain off. About every ten tanks I'd say.
Like I mentioned earlier. I'm not trying to be a know it all, but some folks just don't know better until they are shown or taught. I know most of you fellers already know this, but the picture is a good example of what happens when you don't regularly flop your bar.
The rest of the bar was salvageable with a little TLC.

These burrs can literally be razor sharp. I'm not kidding. They can slice your fingers right open to the bone! Always wear the proper PPE (leather or thick cotton gloves) when handling badly burred saw bars!
