I think the country is going to see some fire this year. . . Last year was Teaxs, now it's the East coast burning up.

I'd like to see us westsiders skip a bad fire year.

Agreed. With only four warm days we have already been warned about not have an extinguisher on the carriage. It has already dried out alot. But it's WA. It will rain soon enough.

I don't know the number, but it is just East of the gated community. on the riverside.

Driving out of the job a stick found that just the right way to jam up and bust my radiator. After filling with 3 gallons of water every 10 miles, I got home 50 miles later, took the day off mostly, and got a new one in. That and the windshield I busted on bark off of one of OUR log trucks I was following (analyzing/admiring butt logs of course!) some weeks cost more than they earn!

Yup. Or chasing down one of the logging trucks to tell him there's a big rock between his trailer duals 'cause he won't get off the CB long enough for anybody to get a word in and the rock comes flying out and removes most of your windshield.

If you smash a saw and lose a Spencer tape in one day while cutting, well, that's an expensive day too. :(

The worst part about that is the phone call you make to the wife while you're going down the hill..."Hey honey, I'm running late again, can you go by the saw shop and pick me up a few things. Oh, just some stuff, a new tape, better make it a couple, some bar oil, some spark plugs, get some gloves while you're there and (spoken real fast) a new 660 and 36" bar. Thanks honey, bye. "

I went out and found the tripod. I have the camera mounted on it. I was going to go do more videoing of the downhillers, but after I got my haircut, the clouds rolled in and it looks like the sky will open up at any minute. The camera is not waterproof. :(
 
I have a drawer full of Spencer parts, new and old. I rebuild 'em 'til the brass bushings in the back plate won't hold the gears any more. I am disappointed that they went to a cast-powder type of metal for the gears rather than stamped steel; they don't last as long, and they always seem to take something else out with them when they go.
 
Speaking of Spencer tapes, your old boy Jake's got a lil bit of a contract cuttin job tomorree

Whoooeeee, first outing of the spring and no whining on my part :rock:
