Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Kodiak Kid]

I love the Ruger 10/22! The old style 10/22 with the metal trigger assembly and metal barrel band on the fore stock. Once they went polymer on the 10/22 I lost interest I only really pay attention to one if its an all metal model. I have three of them. One has a laminated factory Mannlicher stock and has never been fired! However, I've never seen or fired any 10/22 that was what I would consider accurate. They are great little plinkers and a sharp looking carbine fir an auto loader. IMOP, I just don't feel they are all that accurate. Not stock anyway, and like I said. I own three. One I've had going on 30 years now.

Shoot safe gentleman!

My 50mm deep Hunt wheels are noticeably faster than the stock wheels mine came with, verified by my average speed vs wattage on flat strava segments. However, they aren't that fun for crosswinds.

Sounds like you guys have some high dollar bicycles!

To the average person, mine sounds expensive...but in the hierarchy of bikes, mine is just middle of the road.

I picked up a couple of saws this summer and I got the poulan to run a bit . Before I get into it is it worth my time ?
Also got this homy but haven’t looked at it

Fellow road flea I see lol. What bike you riding?

This is my daily rider, I've got a few other road bikes, but they're wall hangers or on my trainer. Also have a couple of MTBs. We've got a few hills here... bottom of this climb starts at 3k', finishes at 6.5k'.

The Poulan? Not IMOP! You'll have to keep Poulan and Poulan and Poulan and Poulan to get it started!

My current road bike is a Trek Madone 7 with the A-3 carbon wheels, but I did most of my riding on a Madone 5.2.

I like that the 7 has an 11 gear cog in the back (11-28). The standard crank in OK, but if I had it to do over I'd get the compact crank. If I'm pedaling in 52-11 it is time to tuck!

I've got 2 Trek Mtn Bikes with full suspension, a 26" and a 29" with the dropping seat post, but I don't ride off road much.

I can road bike from my house to the bike path (less than 2 miles), but to Mtn bike I have to put in on the truck, so I do it less.

Nice Mike here’s a couple of mine use to race MTB for awhile , Titanium Fat bike frame I built the carbon wheels and my Santa Cruz .

I was in the mountains a few years ago on a 4WD trail campground volunteer work trip. One of the guys had a Poulan he was trying to start, I walked by saying “Is that why they call it a Pull On”? He laughed.

I bought it back in '20, so my memory is a bit fuzzy, but I think the bike was right around $3k. The wheels I added after the fact were around $1k-ish. Seems like a lot, but at the time I was riding 10-15 hours a week on it, so it dollar per hour ratio wasn't that crazy.

My son and I went up and burned our piles yesterday, as planned. We also brought down oak, but forgot pictures. I usually forget, doh! We brought down two Christmas trees too.
I didn’t have it covered, I’m glad I didn’t. The moisture really kept it under control, we really had to work at it to get it to spread.


It took 2-1/2 hours to get to this point, if we burn in May it’ll only take 20 minutes. And that’ll be with spraying water on it the whole time, it’s much more worrisome that way. Everything was way too wet this time, that’s a good thing.

I use to MTB In the Navy quite a bit actually. Only when in port of course. I bought a specialized Hard Rock new for 600.00 bones. Then dumped about another 600.00 in after market components. Shimono XLR front and rear de railers as well as a XLR crank. Lighter neck and better bars too. Has a lot of fun on the single track trails in the Olympics Except for all the horsemen! Then I took it to Whistler one Summer. I was only one of three HT's that I saw on the lifts that day. Those FS down hill bikes would just blow by me, around me, in the air over the top of me! All I heard comimg up behind me all day was "excuse me" "sorry bout that" come'n through" and an occasional "WATCH OUUUUT!!!" It was a blast. I kinda felt bad because I thought I was getting in everyone's way on the trail until one guy on the lift told me. "Don't worry about it. Most the riders here can maneuver around you or over you just fine! Stay of the black diamonds with that HT and you'll be just fine. Just be careful if you hear someone come'n up behind you yelling WATCH OUUUUT!!!"

Oh, ok roger. I know some of those road bikes can be well over 10k!

That's exactly why! However, IMOP. A Poulan is STIHL the only saw that will cut wood!!!

Not IMOP!

Here's my other 2 bikes:

The race bike:

The "enduro" bike, it'll go down any trail I can take a dirtbike down:

And one more of the enduro bike, because I figure you guys could appreciate the size of this Juniper:

Evening guys.

On the subject of rifles....
I own over a dozen Henry's, and other than really stiff triggers on a few of em they are flawless as to function....and all the 22's are also very accurate, for levers.
Not surprised that some people have had bad luck with them, that happens.....

I also own a Browning BL22, it's pretty, but the accuracy is utterly horrible.....I've tried pretty much all ammo in it (including Lapua, wolf, sk, to name a few) and never achieved anything close to even marginally acceptable accuracy.....

I tried a 10/22 one time cause I figured since everybody likes em so much they must be good, right?
I absolutely hate those things........Marlin 60's are WAY better rifles do far as I'm concerned.

My favorite 22 rifles are the CZ 452's......we have two of the "Grand Finale" last run ones...... sweet rifles!
Also really like my Henry frontier w/ 24" octagonal barrel.
