Tom and I Pick Up the New Rig and I Test Drive It

Wednesday February 7, 2024 Guerneville CA.

Tom brought his trailer over today. We needed to air up the tires and do a couple things to it to get it ready to go.

We checked out all the lights and got them going.

And then we headed on over to Santa Rosa. We were almost there when we saw real dark black clouds over Santa Rosa, and it rained and hailed.

We were here to pick up my new rig that was ready to go, the green one, not that hot rod one. :O)

The rain let up some as we pulled into this parking lot and loaded up my new work horse.

Back home, we unloaded the new Honda.

I rode it back to  my house and loaded up my chainsaw to go for a ride and cut a few trees off the roads.

I didn’t get far when I ran into this one, but I couldn’t get the chainsaw started so I turned around and went another way thinking, I’d likely get that on the way back if I got the chainsaw going later.

I was trying the machine out going up hills and down hills to see how it performed and stopped here at the ridgetop. It was doing very well on the hills, both going up them and down them.

I was riding along here when I ran into my cousin and her two dogs. She asked if I’d cut that tree out of the way so we did.

She took this picture of me with my new toy. I think it’s going to be a real work horse

I remembered this tree from yesterday that got in my way, so drove down to it and cut it out of the way as I’d gotten the chainsaw going earlier.

All cleared off the road.

On the way home, I cut up the tree I first saw that the chainsaw wouldn’t start on..

I think my new rig will work out well.

Nice day.
