Ewww, it's the super wet kind.

Is it the angle or is that loader on a smaller track hoe? Like 30K#instead of 60K#?

Or is it the angle of the image?

It doesn't look much bigger than the pick up.

 

[HorseFaller]

Lol it's the angle. The loader (a cat 325) is up the hill and further away.

Still waiting snow here. Thanks for the reminder by the way.

I just wonder how come the rubber gloves make your hands smell like feet?

 

[floyd]

Thanks. I'm sure the snow helped the distortion as well.

I put on the rubber raincoat yesterday. It has been hanging up on the porch all year so you would think it had aired out....nope. I think it smells like rubber gloves.

The clouds parted long enough so I could see snow pretty low down on the hills here.

I'm not sure either I thought my rain coat always smelled like cat pee kind of. I'm sure there will be a bundle of fireball gloves and liners Monday morning. We are almost done with this job, about a day and a half of yarding then down to lower elevation(2500ft).

If you look the yarder in the back ground doesn't look bigger then the shovel either and it's a 70 footer. Lol

 

[floyd]

Ok. Made me look again. Didn't see the human being on first look. Puts the shovel in perspective for me.

I estimated alot of heights when I cruised full time yrs ago (over 35). I can see a 70' tower on the yarder.

First look all I saw was truck door & what I thought was a nice sized shovel for commercial thinning.

I hate working weather like that.

Just got back from Orygun, cold and wet up there, sunny here.

Here we go.....

Snowing down to about 1500' in Capitol Forest today. Near-whiteout up near the top.

I can see some layoffs in Nor Cal coming quick with this storm. Looks like a season ender up there. Bring on the Rx Burning now.

Well damn near lost the end of my left index finger saturday afternoon. Smashed it between a 100lbs chunk of madrone and the side of the wood splitter knife. 5 stitches later I still have it. Probably no more finger nail for the rest of my life.

Ouch, that woulda hurt for sure. On the bright side, think of the time you will save trimming fingernails :msp_wink:

 

[Sport Faller]

Well if you lived up this way, you could numb the pain of that sore hand of yours in the half foot of snow we're supposed to get this evening. ARRGH!

You Shush up with that ####, dammit
I always loved winter time as a pup, what with snow days, snowball fighting, gratuitous whitewashing (nowadays you'll get reported to the department of homeland security for acts of terrorism) snowbank urine calligraphy, trapping, ice fishing, and the wearing of Grandpa's cool old winter hats.

It's raining again.
