Bracket
I put a couple coats of paint on the fuel transfer bracket I made last night so today, it was ready to mount on the side by side. That should do it. I’ll test it out the next time I need to fuel up Skiddy.
It was supposed to just be cloudy today and I wanted to take it easy on my sore arm.
I thought I’d just go up and remove a few limbs off the road, being careful of my sore arm.
I didn’t get far before I ran into my first small downed tree to remove.
I used the loopers to do a little brush pruning on this part of the road.
I heard Tom working away with his chainsaw so I drove on over to see what he was up to.
He’s getting some exercise cutting his firewood.
Some of the firewood Tom cut and split.
I decided some light trail work would be ok, so I headed that way when I ran into this small tree I got off the road.
It seems I sure keep busy removing trees off the roads this year.
I made it to the overlook where the trail starts. It started to rain real light.
The trail is under some big trees so I headed out the trail hoping the big trees would mostly keep the light rain off me.
I started working on the trail where I’d left off last time.
Easy part
And soon made it to this ridge top where I don’t have to do any dirt work, only need to trim some brush on this part which I did.
The light rain started to drip through the trees after awhile and it was getting late in the day, so I headed out the trail back to the overlook. It’s raining lightly out there and starting to get me wet a bit.
I’d already done enough work for the day but on the way home I ran into another downed tree blocking the road so i got the chainsaw out once more.
Once the tree is cut up, it needs to be moved off the road to clear it.
That’s better, all clear.
That was enough exercise for one day. I was careful of my sore arm and it wasn’t too bad until I peeled a couple of potatoes for dinner. I think it’a slowly getting better.
Nice day.
