Skiddy’s Service, A Visit, and My Beef Is Ready For Pickup and Pickles

Monday August 4, 2025 Guerneville CA.

Plans

It was warm out today so I had no plans to do much, other than calling Pic and Pull car wreckers to take my two old cars away which I’d been planning to do for years, but never seemed to get around to it. So, first thing I called them and made arrangements for them to come out tomorrow and tow them away. I didn’t really want any money for them but they’re paying me about three hundred dollars for both of them.

Skiddy’s service

A bit later in the day, I drove on up to where Skiddy was parked in the forest and fueled it up so it would be ready to go for the next work.fuel

Greased

Then I used my electric grease gun to grease up the machine. It’s surprising how much faster the electric gun does the job.grease

Visit

After that I rode on over to my cousin’s place for a visit, On the way, I realized I’d forgotten to bring my cam memory cards up with me so I could collect my cam pictures.

I had a good visit with my cousin, then headed for home for a  nap.

Meat

The phone rang and it was my butcher letting me know my beef was ready for pickup. So, I’ll have to pick that up in a couple days or so, after I take care of getting rid of my two old cars.

I spent the rest of the day just puttering around the yard with my chicken’s.

Pickles

Almost forgot. Tom gave me some fresh cucumbers, so I put a batch of fermented pickles together which will be ready in about ten days time.

Nice day.

Finishing Up the Neighbor’s Road, Clearing Brush Off It

Sunday August 3, 2025 Guerneville CA.

Forest work

I had some work to finish up at one of my neighbor’s. I needed to finish clearing all the brush off this old road. I rode on over and parked my rig here, hopefully far enough away from where I’ll be working Skiddy as not to run into this machine, like I did the other day. Fortunately there was no damage.rig1

I got Skiddy going and warmed up and got to work, going down that road to the left to clear down trees and brush off the road.rig2

Then I cleaned up this part of the road by this spring.spring4

I fixed the ditch on the right and smoothed out the road as much as possible.

I worked a few hours and was done for the day. I drove Skiddy on up the road from here and parked it for the day.rig3

Nice day.
