Nothing went as planned today. The carb was leaking on the old mower we use. I had to take it off and fix it. Then a wire broke that hooked up to the motor. I had to fix that twice today. We hit roots and rocks. We had to take the blades off 3 times to straighten them. We had 2 flat tires because of the osage thorns. The belt was thrown off the pulleys a few times. The plug wire has a short in it and that ended the day for the old mower. I got mine out and finished the last 50 yards of trails. Found a couple dead trees across our trails that needed cut. I also dropped a large red oak tree on the edge of a field. It had been dead for years. My Dad was afraid it was going to fall on him while he was mowing. I had to clean it all up and get it out of the field for him. We expected to be done by lunch time. We didn't get finished until almost 6:00. It was a long day. I'm hoping we can get our stands hung before opening day.

I've found I've had to keep a low maintenance on my trails periodically through the summer to lessen the chore some come hunting season.
Eric Krewson:
I made a BBO bow for a friend that had a catastrophic bamboo failure and snapped in two, my first failure with bamboo from my local source.
Because it was a freebie I initially didn't plan to make a replacement bow but needed a project so I got the parts ready and did a glue-up a couple of days ago. My first go round with Smooth-on, mighty messy stuff but good glue.
bubby:
You are going to really like the smooth on Eric, it is easy to work with for sure
osage outlaw:
I took some scrap boards and made a chainsaw box for the utility truck. I didn't like having the saw, fuel, and oil rolling around in the bed. I put my bar oil in empty dish soap bottles. It makes it much easier and cleaner to fill up the saw. A logger showed me that trick.
