Today I finally got out of the house after being glued to my office for days.
Went to the hangar to collect the final few items for the Brazil project. Got out the Taylorcraft and flew it a bit. Hadn't been up since November and need to do some training in Brazil so had to get current.
Chipped up a bunch of brush at a rental property and got within 5-10 minutes of completing the job when Groundi brought to my attention there was smoke pouring from the chipper engine. It had broken a V-belt and lost the operation of the fan and water pump so it was smoking hot. I shut it down right away. Hopefully soon enough...
Then I came home and burned some brush and pine straw for fuel reduction. (reducing the likelihood of a forest fire burning down the house or other structures.) Now I have my feet up waiting on a delicious dinner of venison meat loaf and mashed potatoes...
