Forest ride
Barry showed up this morning so we went out for a bike ride. The ground was just right for riding after the recent rain.
We stopped at this spring called Pig Wallow for a drink of water after riding around for awhile.![]()
After riding around for awhile we headed on up to our break area at the top and had a nice break.![]()
Coming down from the break area we ran into this downed tree. We are preparing to trim a passage through the trees as all we had was hand clippers.![]()
We rode around some more and then headed on home. Barry took off for his home and went in for a nap.
I puttered around in the yard and did some chair hopping for most of the day.
Metal template construction
But later in the day, I worked on making this cardboard template out of sheet metal, which is the piece in the back.![]()
Now the template had to be bent to shape. I needed to clamp the metal and looked for some adjustable clamps that size but couldn’t find any, so I did it the old fashioned way with wire.![]()
This is the finished product. The pipe is marked using the template and then the metal is cut and shaped to fit on another piece of pipe. I think this template will work real well, especially now that Tom has the right measurements..![]()
Nice day.






Was there ever an actual pig at Pig Wallow?
