Very hazy here as well, there were a few days when the smoke got caught under the fog.
realized this morning that the three huge alders I dumped Sunday are right next to the Highway waiting for some jerk to cut them into fire wood and I won't get back there until Friday at the earliest... Hope there still there cause that's a big pay day for me

I cant go hunting. Thats my whine of the week. Too many land closures and cops roaming the woods.
On a good note. I did pick up a 038Mag II and a 272XP this weekend.

Rattlesnakes...
I walked a sale yesterday. Miserable steep ground, buck brush, slick rock, manzanita, poison oak and a crappy stand of white fir dog hair that hadn't ever been thinned. That was the good part.
We're still dry here and the critters are moving to what little water there is. I high-stepped six rattlesnakes in about an hour, all of them close to a little spring and a mudpuddle.
Six rattlers...and those were just the ones I saw.
I passed on bidding the sale, too.

I need a new hatband...just kinda throwin that out there......
No rain here.... the well at my friends ranch is 240 feet deep...its going dry,no water pressure at all. Luckily my hay guy has agreed not to raise my prices this year because we always pay him on time....its going from 8-12 dollars a bale at the sales. I sure hope we get some moisture soon.

No fog today, very hazy. Dry here as well, .77 inches since July 1st, should be double that.

Come on out, I'll show you right where to go.
Im not scared of rattlesnakes as long as I can see them and count them with a 12 gauge.

We're breaking 100yr old records here for no rain this time of year.
Kind of nice on one hand, and bad on the other.
BC will crap a cold front on our heads for 4-5 days. . . Even bringing the overnight low down to 18°. That'll make ya light a fire.

What? No thinner in the shop? Oh, and the seasonals took my paint guns? And killed the leather cups? And I'm out? And the credit card isn't turned back on again yet because yesterday was the beginning of the Fiscal Year?
Guess I won't be marking anything today. Oh, well. Least I have a jillion other projects that need attention.
(fun fact: in 6th grade I lost a city-wide spelling bee in the final round with the word "jillion". I spelled it with a "g". Who knew that was an actual word?)

Didn't your parents sue??:msp_biggrin:
And as far as leathers? Switch to the Treecoder paint guns. Not so many parts to them and they work just as well, if not better than the Nelson guns. I was converted by the Arizonians to the Treecoder way. Even I can disassemble and reassemble a Treecoder. I am baffled by the Nelsons.

I'm not skeered of rattle snakes neither. I'm skeered of what will happen if they bite me.

I have a Treecoder. Don't like it. Flimsy build quality, longer trigger pull. I have the Nelsons figured out. Modded one to put the 3-finger trigger on a metal handle. It's the way to go.
Not for me. I like the way the Treecoder chews through the chunky paint and it puts a very nice stripe on the trees. If I still had one, I might have to challenge you to a paint gun duel. Nelsons are wimpy and clog up easily. They are hard to work on unless one is a brainiac (you are) and has three arms (you don't appear to have that).
I have replaced a part under field conditions using a yarder engineer as a vise and gotten my paint gun going like new again. Yarder engineers make good vises.

Snakes are really the only thing that scares me......and bears....women in general(wife in particular)....monkeys kinda freak me out too.Cept that one in Tennessee.
The new black nozzles took care of the clogging issue, and the dual check valve setup keeps it primed. I could probably be convinced to bring one of each to a to-be-determined duelling place to prove once and for all that the Nelson is the One True Paint gun!
Nelson does not suck. Treecoder does!
