What Did You Do Today?
Tradslinger:
wired up my new heavy duty work table for both lights and outlets. installed two vices, a bench grinder and a small drill press. then repaired a one pound sledge handle. I do what I call "nickle and diming it" a little bit and then sit for a bit and then do it again. slow but getting things done. will be awesome to have such a work place and be able to see.
YosemiteBen:
We had a big wind storm Tuesday morning early. Yosemite was closed to the public so I stayed home to clean up the mess. One tree from the neighbors landed in my yard so cut it up and burned the branches. Today was rebuilding half of my wood shed roof that had gotten blown off as well as two pieces of tin off of my patio cover. Got to go to work tomorrow to reset my government computer password. Also have to light a memorial fire in our ceremonial house for family and friends that have already passed in 2021.
Thank you all for your woods of support and encouragement over the years. Stay safe! My wife and I remain Covid free! Thankfully!
Allyn T:
Made a tillering gizmo and went to town on my first bow. That thing is a life saver
Tradslinger:
had to repair a live trap, we had caught a big boar coon in it a couple of days ago, I had kept it in it to be able to show a 8 year old city grand daughter that the "cute" little dudes are pretty mean and can hurt you. Mainly I wanted her to see the bared teeth and hear it growling. But, the coon managed to chew thru the heavy wire in one spot to get out. Figured he messed his teeth up pretty bad but he got out. So with some trapping wire and another piece of small expanded metal, I got er done. Also narrowed the limbs on my piece of osage, it is still way to heavy for what I want. So it is ready to begin slowly dropping the weight down with the scraper. Got chilled so quit for a while to warm up. need to get some chili cooking.
YosemiteBen:
I worked!
Some of you know, I am a Park Ranger/Indian Cultural Demonstrator in Yosemite National Park. Today marks the beginning of the Horsetail Falls event. We are closing part of Yosemite Valley off to parking and pedestrian traffic. One lane of our out bound corridor will be blocked off for pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Social media has made this a bot of a nightmare for us locals and employees. This event draws thousands every year. Most days of the event will see a couple of thousand people lining up for their chance to get a shot of this event.
The one area that we closed has been subject to extreme degredation due to the sheer volume of folks gathered there. One year they caused the collapse of several hundred feet of river bank.
If you would like to check out what I am talking about you can google horestail falls yosemite and you should be able to see some pictures.
