After having 154 trees getting this 5.5 mile trail ready to open, there was a wind event between clearing and opening day. A couple guys went back opening day and found nine more trees, including this one.

Well shucky darn. Dealer needs to order parts so that saw is down. My Husky 435 top handle is my backup. Failed me on starting the other day so I dropped it off at the dealer last Friday "sorry, we are backed up for a month". I left it there to be worked on 'whenever'. After finding out today that the 193 was down. I swung by, picked up the Husky a plug, fuel filter and air filter figuring it probably only needed simple maintenance. I don't know how many midget elves put that saw together but an hour fooling around with it and I cannot get the new air filter seated, The Plug is hid out and the maintence manual isn't much help. I didn't even try the fuel filter. I'll ask my buddy who fools around with such things to see if he will try it.
I can make fair progress wooding using just the bigger and big saw. Nuisance firing up a MS362 to cut a 1.5" stem though.
To a perfect end to the day I just discovered that I seem to have a hernia starting. I've got a doc appointment on Thursday. Meanwhile I guess I just stay home for a couple days.

5 pages since I left on Friday morning. Now that I'm caught up I need a nap.
G'day fellers, I'm going to be offline for a bit. Booked a trip a year ago for Cowgirl's 50th. At the time the West Australian state border was closed to the rest of us and who knew whether we'd be able to get there by now or not. Anyway, those stupid state border closures have now ended and we are heading up to a town called Broome and then cruising offshore north-east along the coastline in an area known as the Kimberley. Forecast is for 30°C and no wind every day.
Should be good. Since it is Cowgirl's birthday and I'm such a good bloke, I am:
a) Letting her come, and,
b) I may *let* her catch the biggest fish.
When I come back, I shall be expecting many pictures of quality scrounge and in return I will post many pictures of quality fish which I think you'll all agree is fair. Cheers you blokes.

Hey guys, been a busy weekend for it being my first off in nearly a month. Got the house ready for my daughter's birthday party yesterday. That took a but of doing, but everyone had a good time. (Except me, stuck behind the grill lol) today I had to run some errands, then stopped by lowes to grab some Epsom salt for the garden, amd a few rattle cans of paint, wow did paint ever go up in price. Jeez. Got home, henny pennied some Epsom salt over tha garden and gave it a good squirt of water. Painted the lift arms for the loader and impatiently waited for the paint to dry. Hooked the valves up and moat everything I could. Checked the arms and said f-it, I want this done today. Well I got it functional now. I did muff the paint up a bit and still have a bit of welding to do on the quick hitch, as well as finish up the wiring on the tractor, amd take measurements for the aux lines to the front of the loader.
Anyways few pics of it.
That's 685lbs of plate in this last picture. She picks weight willingly and without effort. I did try to pick the back of my 79 off the ground, but ended up picking the arse of the kubota off the ground instead lol. Just need to make a 3 point rack for those plates and then I'll have plenty of counterweight to get in trouble with. Cheers all....

Wow, what trail?
kinda looks like Red Mt area
It's a bit like Homer's bowling ball gift to Marge...
Flying direct from Melbourne. If we drove the 3700km it'd just about be time to turn around when we arrived. She ain't exactly a smooth Interstate highway through those parts either. I wouldn't mind driving it one day but not this time.
Spanish.
Very Generous letting me off the HOOK.
