Machine Maintenance and Checking Out More Neighbor’s Roads

Saturday June 14, 2025 Guerneville CA.

Machine maintenance

My skidder needs to be greased, so I got the new battery powered grease gun I bought recently and took it up into the hills where Skiddy was parked and got to greasing it up.

That battery grease gun works real good and makes greasing stuff very easy.

Once that was done, I went over to a neighbors to look at a road I said I’d fix. That road has a hair-pin turn that is hard to get around so I  had a look at it to improve it so a fire truck could get around it. I’ll need to cut some trees down to make the turn better.

Pond

Then I rode over to our pond for a drink of water.

Water hole

From there I drove on down to this little water hole I’m expanding to make it a bit larger.

It was good to see the new part was full of water.

From there I rode on over to another neighbor’s to check on this narrow road to see where it went. I’ll need to get some trees cut before I can open it

I followed the road to see where it was going. It’s a bit over grown.

I went down to this neighbor’s house but no one was home.

Drink

I needed a drink of water so I headed over to our main spring.

I got a drink of water here that hit the spot.

Tom’s garden

From there I headed for home stopping here to see how Tom’s garden was doing and found Tom working on it.

Chickens out of control

My chickens have been jumping the fences an heading out on the highway and over to neighbor’s too, so I looked up clipping wing feathers and I and a neighbor just went out and clipped one wing’s feathers to see if that will slow them down. Clipping feather wings is suppose to make it so they can’t steer in flight. We’ll see if that helps any.

Nice day.
