Well turned in to all week.
back to working 50 plus hours at machining makes it hard to to go logging, especially when the temp jumps 20 degrees overnight. give me 65 and cloudy! But the gypo yarder is running good!
Kind of a weird day today. I only got stung once, the bees must have been sleeping. One of the guys set his running Husqvarna 450 down on the riverbank to help his swamper. His saw tumbled into the water and died. After pulling the air filter and the plug and sitting in the sun it fired right up. Another guy was demoted from sawyer to swamper and I recommended he be fired. I don't like having to do that but it needed to be done. The other senior guy said he felt the swamper will work out so he has one more day to prove himself.
I decided it would be cool and snowy up on the Pacific Crest Trail. It wasn't. There was still a bit of snow in places, but it was warmer than at my house!
I forgot to take a map...not that one is needed on the freeway of all trails, but it would have been nice to guestimate where I was on the trail.
The mosquitoes sucked our blood. The Used Dog was the other hiker. I think we need plasma now. The name of the area was Mosquito Basin before it was renamed and declared official wilderness.
I thought we had only hiked a couple miles in, after looking the area up, we went about 4 miles in for an 8 mile round trip. The Used Dog and I are both a bit gimpy tonight.

Wait I forgot my main whine. I hurt my good knee again today. slowp reminded me with her gimpy comment. Off to find the bottle of ibuprofen.
RX burn + neighbors = oh, well, we tried... can't schedule the wind.

Is that why I smelled smoke at my house this morning???:wink2:
It's almost possible, but you're just a bit far north. I'd expect that the most sensitive of noses might be able to detect our smoke near Puyallup. Smelled pretty good coming through Nisqually this morning, though!

Ya I know. Just razzin ya. I did smell wood smoke at my work in Renton this morning however, which I thought was a little strange?
Jet exhaust from SeaTac?

LOL. No it was gen u wine wood smoke
You mean you can't get the local newspaper to write a cheery article about not to complain when your area is choking on smoke--THAT'S THE SMELL OF MONEY!
The Morton (now changed to East County) Journal used to do that. It didn't make the smoke go away though.
That was when you could see several mushroom clouds on one day if you were at a good view spot.

Im still wearing my Double H boots that I bought in 08......Im in them everyday and Ive legged up on horses a couple thousand times and been on several bulls....damn good boot.
Uggh. You'd think Public Affairs would be more on top of that stuff, but no.
No wasps today !!!
The chipper fuel filters clogged bad today. The boss said someone dumped something into the fuel tank. I don't know, maybe the mechanic will figure it out. It also ate the fuel pump even though it has a prefilter.
