Forest work

My Cousin needed a couple of small slides off one of her roads so I said I’d take care of it with Skiddy. I got all my stuff together and greased up Skiddy for the task.

I took off for her place and half way there realized I’d forgotten my camera, so no pictures today.

Once I got there, I made quick work of the slides although one of them had a big redwood log in it that Skiddy had to work a bit hard to get it out of the way.Actually, Skiddy is quite powerful and made quick work of it.

I took a different route back as I knew another spot on our place that had a big tree across the road, so I moved it out of the way.

Once back home, I had a good nap and then went back outside to do some chair hopping with my chickens.

Just before dark, the mail guy showed up with my new fuel transfer pump. I’ll have to get it assembles and try it out tomorrow.

Blog transfer report

The guys got my blog transferred last night but it has some problems that need to be worked out. At least we are moving forward with it. I’ll give them some time to fix stuff before I put it online.

Nice day.

Vanity top

After several  months our vanity top for our rental finally came in. Barry bought it out and I helped him unload it.

Forest ride

Barry says as long as he’s here, he might as well go for a ride so we took off for the hills and rode around.

We stopped here so Barry could cut some of these small Christmas trees back a bit while I watched.

Trail cam cards

We stopped and collected the trail cam cards, but I haven’t had time to check them out yet. This is our little pond. I mentioned to Barry that we needed some mosquito fish for it as earlier in the year it was full of lava. Now, where to get some?

Visiting

After riding around a bit more we headed up to visit my cousin and her husband. They live at the top of the mountain and this is one of their views. After a good visit and as we were leaving we went by her little water pool. I could use some of those mosquito fish. Sure. Not now I said, I’ll get some later. Thanks.

We rode around some more and ended up at our break area at the top of the hill.

Spring and troubles

We stopped at this spring for a drink of water. I told Barry I’d gotten a lot of butt pictures lately of him. So.

When we got back on our bikes, Barry’s bike was dead and wouldn’t start. What now?

We fiddled around with it and it finally came to life but we know not why.

We took off and eventually stopped here to remove this tree. The bike was dead again.

Barry started coasting down the hill and was able to get it started on compression so we rode on home.

He tested it when we got back to  my place but it wouldn’t fail. Hummmmm, that’s a mystery.

Barry took off for home as the sun went behind the hills to my west.

I did some chair hopping with my chickens that were grazing around the yard.

This bunch seemed to be content and just standing around.

Nice day.
