I was hoping we would have it for a few days but it sounds like we just have it for a day or so & with harvest its the wrong time of year to have a significant amount of time with it.

I appreciate the offer but I’ll keep this, this weather keeps the insects at bay & I don’t like leaking coolant.

Evening people.

Just plain miserable weather here today!

Sam hauling logs out yesterday....
Was a nasty gully he had to cross.....the pictures don't really do it justice.

We're not supposed to freeze till Sunday night down here in the tropics...

 

[JimBear]

Having my coffee & enjoying the remnants of last nights fire. I believe I will wait for the outside temps to climb above the freezing mark before firing up the mini to finish taking out trees.

Mini-excavators are handy. I wood like to try my hand at using a mini-gun to take down some trees tho. Guess I need to decide what caliber wood be the most fun.

Depends on your rate of fire & size of the tree. 5.56 - 7.62 - .50 should do nicely, just like a nice 3 saw setup.

My uncle used to go to the woods and shoot down a Christmas tree every year....his weapon of choice was a 12ga with bird shot.

Two of those may be in stock. Only semi-auto tho.

Anybody here have a pellet stove for heating your house?

Hey Steve, were you just looking for heretics...or were you going to tell us something about pellet stoves?

Just wondering.

One of my first deer hunts with my dad at the prized location, ended with us getting a tree that was Dad marked about 90 yards away and handed me his 8MM mouser bolt action. I got one shot, thought I missed, dad said not the case. About half way to walking to the tree a slight breeze blew it over. Dad said it appeared to be a clean hit with the tree dropping a bit with the shot. Yep that was our x-mas tree that year. I was 13 or 14 at the time.
