The Descriptive Process

[RandyMac]

It got noisy for awhile, gusts in the low 60s, rained some. 101 got swamped south of town, by the harbor and the wetlands before you go up the hill. Lost power late this morning, came back on about 5pm.
7.5 foot tide, 4 foot storm surge and 25 foot waves.

Oh my! I checked our forecast and was shocked to find that it had changed and we may get those winds here.

 

[Metals406]

Bet it smelled salty.

Showing snow showers for Monday, it'll be just like mid June!

See any bucks today?

Yup, the white stuff that we do not speak of, is coming.

Shot the 45-70 more today with Liam so he can go bag something. Will take him out in a few days.

Batten down the Grapple Cat!

winds here... got "lucky" with a sucker hole and managed to rig that tree... still hate the gaffs...

 

[slowp]

Now they lowered it to 50 mph gusts. I do have a sliver under my fingernail to torment me.

Soak the finger in a strong mix of Epsom salts. It'll help draw out the splinter.

One of the first trees I ever climbed I did with the gear, which belonged to a guy who weighs well over 200 lb. The irons kept popping out all the way up and down. My steering side looked like I'd been dragged by a horse on gravel. The pard says he has to keep the spikes that way, otherwise he'll get stuck. At the end of the day he says that.

I'll try that if I can find those. Digging did no good. But, it's on the bow hand and not the fingering hand.

The wind peaked out about 9pm here. The power stayed on. The cedars stayed upright.

I'm a touch over 300, the new to me mallory's did good, haven't slipped once and only where kinda sticky, but not so bad as to be work to get them loose...

Nothing like putting wet pants on first thing in the morning...

One of the best things I ever did was buy a boot drier.

 

[1270d]

everyone should have a boot drier. I love my Peet drier.

 

[bitzer]

I've got two! The weather here is right on par now. Ugh packers suck tonight.

 

[slowp]

I have three but I only know where two are. Has anybody ever tried out boot driers that plug into cigarette lighters in cars?

I haven't yet, but gotta figure out something for fire camp.

I ran my truck heater on the last fire to dry cloths/boots, & I got complaints.

In the back country hunting w/the packstring I've even
Filled them w/grain to soak up the moisture. Before (weather wise)
Going to the packs w/extra liners.

 

[Metals406]

I've heard of guys stuffing gear with newspaper to help suck out moisture.
