I have a friend with a cabin in the mountains. Doesn't seem to matter if it's rain or snow, chains become a requirement just to get up the dirt lane to the cabin. Amazing how much they help traction.
Yea, chains are game changer for sure ,
 
Thats the odd thing. I was on a 10day work stretch, all evening shifts. So I wasn't around hardly any people. Non of which were sick that I know of. Just one of those odd mysteries of life I guess.
Glad your up and about Sean. Was over in your neck of the woods Friday at Wengers. Bought a new sweet corn planter. 1671364540913.png
 
No one likes bruce🤣
Ahhhh! I don't even know the guy! Hard to not like someone you don't know! Even if they are a cream puff! 🤣

Edit:
Ok, Ok, I take it back! I shouldn't have called him a cream puff or a guy! I'm sorry. Actually Im just trying to figure out why he tried ambushing me? 🤔
Oh☝️that's right!
Because I'm AWESOME!!!👍
 
Not to be a critic, but as pretty and nice as she is, that girl did not stroke straight with that file!

I would not let her sharpen my chains!
In my experience girls don’t like straight strokes… some rocking is just as if not more effective.😉
 
It gets a little more complicated when I throw in my "566i"...it's the same weight difference between it and the 461 as the 461 is to the 066
That sounds like a really sweet saw! I feel much the same about my Dr. Al ported 460/440 hybrid. Great power, light weight.

My ported 462s are light and fast and get to do most of the work (all hardwood), but when the rounds get large and tough and they start to slow a bit, I just break out that hybrid with a 28" Stihl light bar and it just pulls right through it even if you lean on it a bit, and it is a good deal lighter than a real 460/461.

It is actually an Asian 440 with a real 12mm 044 crank and an 046 D jug with a modified single ring Husky piston (272?). The modified piston is lighter than a 460 piston, and the single ring allows for wider ports. It has a lot of torque and is one of 4 saws I use on a regular basis. The lighter piston also makes it smoother than most hybrids, and it should last longer also.
 
WEll, it was time to split this load of firwood,

We filled six baskets,

I'm glad to have it done!

'ooh-rah!' 👍 :heart: snow pix and that attitude!! pro-level effort!; action!! well, imo.....

Well the BK 2000 firewood sled for those hard to get to trees worked well. Need to add straps to keep things from rolling off but other than that perfect. Light enough to hold in one hand as you drive back for another load but strong enough to take the beating and banging through the woods really well. View attachment 1041614
looks like made from a plastic bucket??? my bet is... soon as Brufab sees it... he will want one!!! 😋
 
Had almost the same problem last Wednesday night. By Thursday night I was feeling much better. Yesterday morning I was back to normal. The only place I went this week was to the Post Office to drop off some prepaid packages.
103.3f fever not good!!! :omg:
 
MechanicMatt's BIL came up to our cabin and was very impressed with how well our cast iron skillet was seasoned.

My brother, who uses it quite a bit, told him that part of the secret is using olive oil when cooking steaks, venison, etc.

Hi guys. Good day here.

Started off the morning with a basketball tournament and my girls went three and one in their games. Came home and met a friend and his wife to do some snowmobiling. There was a lot of slush on the lake, but we made it down to a restaurant for dinner and back safely.

Shift gears and went back to deboning and grinding wild hog. I cooked up some of it in a very basic breakfast sausage seasoning. It was tasty but very dry because the meat is so lean. I had pork butt on hand because I expected this so I ground all that up too. I have probably close to 40 pounds of ground pork in my fridge between hog and pig. Tomorrow morning I’m going to run to the market and and get some of their proprietary seasoning packages to make breakfast sausage and Italian sausage. May send some over to the original guy to make some brats as well.
glad u like feral hog! have tried it. for me: :omg:

but good smoked pork ribs, any day! 👍
