I haven't had a problem with connection either. I usually use my phone mind you.

What a busy time of year! Taking a weekend away in October with a few friends to the cape for some bird hunting and sawing. Gonna be a blast

Spent Sat, Sun and Mon at the camp, got to watch the Lunar eclipse from up there, was really clear and no backlight to deal with. Moon was huge n white when it first appeared above the treeline, turned a deep rusty orange during the event.

Ya Jerry it was pretty awesome to see. It was so orange eh? The clouds this morning were as orange as could be.

I guess the next full solar eclipse is in march 2016. Gonna love that too.

 

[pioneerguy600]

Yes it was very nice conditions for seeing and watching the event, we sat out with a nice big fire in the outdoor burner and had a front row seat to watch from.

I sat on my deck and it was right in front of me LOL it was pretty impressive for a big ball in the sky LOL

Found out I don't have crohns disease today... yeehaa

I have watched 3 complete harvest moon eclipses and countless eclipses of the sun. In the earliest one I remember we smoked glass over candles in prep to use it to look through as the moon crosses the sun. Then I got cutting goggles/glasses.

Thanks...bought that saw new in 1977.....wore it completely out....but it's all better now...thanks in no small part to this site!!!

I think the operator got the workout......saw seemed to love it.....did pretty good for a 49cc saw...18" bar buried in island spruce......those pieces were unsplittable with maul and wedge......but they are stove sized now!!

 

[Welder56]

I've learned it doesn't matter what you carry for a long period of time.... it gets heavy LOL. A 6 pound rifle gets heavy after a day of carrying it

Sounds like you had a good day!

I have been putting up some firewood up at the camp also, it splits much easier though. Got enough put up for at least another seasons burning or so, only used the gas ax on one crotetchy stick.

That batch of spruce was the culls from a big blowdown on my property.......I split the rest last year with a splitting maul and/or a wedge......kept getting tougher as I worked up the stem.....last one I did, I buried the wedge as far as the maul would drive it with no results....had to cut the wedge out of the stick with the saw...that sucked. So I just noodled the whole lot this time....got some more drift ash stashed .....park closes 10/15.......pick it up by skiff and stove fit it right on the shore.......some small dry spruce blowdowns there too that they cut out of the trail....that has to go with me too.......
