Wood cutting
I hopped on the dirt bike and rode up to the top of the hill where I knew Barry was cutting firewood. We shot the bull for awhile, then I left him to it and rode on around the property for a bit.![]()
I stopped here to throw sticks and rocks off the road.![]()
And I stopped here to check out that big fallen log again to see what it would take to cut it off the trail.![]()
I checked out the log and figure I can safely cut it off the trail.![]()
I also had another look at the stump where it fall over. Seems the tree just got too big and the bank gave away during some wind.![]()
Trimming canes
Back home I spotted some more raspberry vines that needed trimming so I got the trimmer out to do the job.![]()
That trimmer makes short work of things. I used the loppers to cut the wild blackberry vines out of the patch.![]()
Grape vine pruning
I was taking a break in this spot when I noticed a chicken up on the top of the chicken pen, which reminded me I needed to trim the grape vine there as it was over growing the pen.![]()
I got a ladder and the loppers got to work on pruning the grape vine.![]()
I cut all these grape vines, but just left them on top as I couldn’t get them off as they’d fastened themselves to the chicken wire. That was ok as I just wanted to stop them from growing any more.![]()
It was getting late in the day and the sun was going behind the hill top soon.![]()
Oil and filter change
But I still had time to get the oil and filter changed on the van.![]()
Adding the new oil to the van’s engine.![]()
Seat cover
This seat cover took a beating on my last trip as the four wheeling was real rough and my butt bounced all over the seat tearing it up. I have a new cover for it, but didn’t get it on today.![]()
It was cooling down fast so I didn’t stay out chair hopping long before I went in the house for the day.
Nice day.






It just feels good to get things accomplished by the end of the day. Looks like you did a good job.
