Falling pics 11/25/09

Yeah Nate, about 1300 feet. Pushing the limits of those link belt drums. Start up Mill Creek on Monday, 1800 feet in depth......the boys will be tagged out on that one. Might have to dial down the sky line for something slimmer and see how it goes. Not my problem thank goodness. I'll just dump them and let the side rod figure it out.

I think our Linkbelt was maxed at 1,200(ish) unless, like ya say, you go with a smaller sky.

A work around, if the bottom of the unit has a road -- is to work up as much as you can from the top, and finish from the bottom.

Works now!

We haven't started our fire season yet, but I guess it's fix'n to get warm, so I'm sure it'll be soon.

 

[Cedarkerf]

Ian was down in Colorado for that fire. Were cold and rainey still out here. Id say were a minimum 3 to 4 weeks if we get real hot but thats not in the forcast

 

[Metals406]

That's good! I'd prefer not to pull a Colorado this year -- then we can't be in the woods till late fall. :msp_sneaky:

 

[slowp]

I bought a tomato plant, thus guaranteeing that it will be another cold and wet summer here. :msp_biggrin:

 

[Cedarkerf]

Pouring rain at the Buckley log show today but still a good time. It made it up to 57 degrees today

 

[Metals406]

Bet all that rain made ya homesick fer Montana!!

 

[slowp]

Slather on the sunscreen. We have a sucker hole! I can hear the tomato plant making up for lost time!

rounder fishin

I had a delightful visitor to help me get some wood on the ground, my old cutting partner Red. And a patch of timber "they forgot last time", some heavy hitters. I really hope I can figure out how to get the video we got loaded.

East coast temptations.

Thats Red, he pretty well sticks with the open face, hes a thin hinge boring perfect stump mother ####er, but as long as "perfect" is in there, let him do as he wishes. Unless "perfect" takes too long....

On another note, the irony of your (assumed) misspelling of "except" brings this whole east vs. west thing to a peaceful and and loving close, albeit inadvertant. A pun, and the world could rest.

I was putting in a block face with a snipe dumping one uphill. I hate having to put one uphill.
