Forest ride

Barry showed up this morning for a bike ride. With the recent rain, the ground was wet and real nice to ride on. No dust is also real nice.

We took off for the hills and right away had to stop and throw some brush off the trail.

We rode a bit further and ran int5o this old rotten log on the trail. Barry took care of the log while I watched.

Warming up

We rode around and stopped up at the top for a break and to get some sun to warm up a bit. It was a bit chilly out today, like maybe winter has set in.

We had a nice long  break up here and we sure did get some sun to warm up.

Eventually we took off riding again. The view of Guerneville was real nice as we stopped here for a bit at the Guerneville overlook.

We rode around for quite some time using up most of the day and riding all around our neighbor’s places. We finally got tired out and headed for home.

Barry took off for his place after getting a dozen eggs from my chickens. I went in for a much needed nap and to warm up a bit.

Nice day.

Phone guy

I heard a beep in the yard this morning and I wasn’t up yet, although, it was almost noon. I looked out the window to see the phone guy out there so I quickly got dressed.

I went out and showed him the damage from the big redwood tree limb which had fallen on my phone like the other day. I left him at it.

After the rain

Well, almost, as it was still spitting out some  showers. I made sure my chainsaw was in my rig and I got the fuel loaded to fuel up Skiddy and headed out.

I didn’t get far before I had to stop to cut this up which I did.

I didn’t run into any other big trees across the road on the way up to where Skiddy was parked. I did stop and cut some hanging branches off the road. The water from the rain makes some of the overhanging branch droop down low on the road.

Fueling Skiddy

I made it up to Skiddy and got set up to fill up Skiddy’s fuel tank. The 12 volt pump sure helps a lot for that.

The road

From there I drove on over to the road I was doing repairs on in the park and checked it out. The rock I put on the slippery part the other day looked real good and  seems to have solved the problem. I checked the whole road and it all seemed to be ok, which was good.

From there I went up to my cousin’s place to give them an, all clear, for the road as they are headed to a doctor’s appointment tomorrow.

Break time

From there I headed on over to one of our break areas for a break.

The rain had moved out and left some big clouds.

And a big shining sun.

On the way home, I stopped in several places to trim hanging branches off the road as I went.

Nice day.
