It's rained hard here for the past 2 days, first time in a month or so. Great for our drought. Talked to Brian and mastermind, supposed to be running the 394 at 32:1. I didn't feel like hooking up the compression tester and pulling on the girl, but 200 psi with a squish of 0.024 from the man himself. I've got that oak snag (stob??) coming up, and I'll post a video of that. Hopefully TC returns as he was great with the videos. I will probably tune the 385 for 32:1 as I don't want different mixes. Hope you survive the heat cat, where are you staying? Rob, do you have to deal directly with the homeowners, or is there a smooth talking dandy there to sooth the egos?
Hope everybody has a good day tomorrow.

BTW, tramp, what was that thing I need that costs as much as a saw?

Here are a few huntin' pic from last year. It was my little guys first year - he had buck fever. That's the ex and a very large bodied whitey I rattled in for her on our property(lease). My son and I holding up his first bear. The bear pics of the carcass is my ex's first black bear, I called it in for her(that method is awesome). And the white tail horns on the cedar log are my daughters(L) and oldest son's(R)from last year, I rattled them in as well. Enjoy-

A Simington 451 B Chisel bit chain grinder.

I never like to pee in anyone's Cheerios but an awesome engine NEEDS a good chain. You could take up chisel fileing but it is a fairly ardous task. . A chisel grinder will make you smile every time you put on a fresh chain.
Madsen's is selling them now. As Silvey went oob.

Yer gonna have to come out here and help. unless you meant boning it out, which we do a lot of. but that day was a spontaneous, in the middle of the morn., middle of the week thing w/ minimal gear on the way home from a trip to Kalispell. I have shot some huge bucks here that are difficult to load by ones self. More than once I have had to split 'em in half to get 'em in the dang truck.

We have done that w/ antelope, never thought to try it w/ a deer. my son's two point is the smallest thing we have put in the freezer in yrs. but it would have worked on him. That was a road deer pretty much, 150 yds. behind the gate.

 

[northmanlogging]

The deer in Warshington are considerably smaller than the deer in Montucky and Wyoming, if your going to pull that back pack trick you might want to consider getting that hernia fixed on the way home...

And yes it gets warm here just rare to see triple digit temps and its really only hot in July and August, its the humidity that really gets ya, that and the just not being used to it. most of the year it hovers between 40 and 60, freezes hard at knight only in the dead of winter but usually thaws out at least a little by noon unless you're in the shadow of any of the mountains and then it don't thaw until april,

 

[dooby]

SHHH! I here something...... what was that.... oh! high Northman. how was you eve.? did you buy that Stihl?

 

[northmanlogging]

[northmanlogging]
