Can’t wait

 

Afternoon everybody!!

 

His equipment was wrong fot that

 

I thought the same , that had be a sketchy rappel down that 900 ft mine shaft . Also accending back up had to be brutal on his upper body

 

Good afternoon friends!

It's time to go outside and put another hour or 2 into the deck. I came up with a way to lock the aluminum siding panel into the vinyl starter strip that I had to use, it's only mildly ghetto and it will just fine.

I've heard it also go - up shits creek with a turd for a paddle. That seems worse somehow...

I saw that one last night, 2 videos in a short time. Brent seems to be in a better place, mental health wise. How cool was it that he found the 2 undisclosed mine shaft entrances while looking for the old water pump stations?

Take the "new" wheel and use it as a spare, or if it seems to be a decent replacement wheel, put the dinged one into the spare position.

I always wondered why it takes so many people to run the hoist winch. He talked about not having enough qualified help anymore to run it.

 

My little mini garden this year. we dont can anymore so just put out tomatoes,cukes,n squash. plus some turnips for greens and a few turnips. i never planted the squash in the pic,they came up from seeds left in the garden from last year. im giving them away got so many.

 

Momma doe likes bird seed. she is actually in the dog pen geez!

 

Can't run it remote that far down and and it's a big piece of equipment to reach 900 feet someone watches the cable and the machine. All the cave ins would freak me out. We have made a few visits to Cerro Gordo, knew the previous owner and got to walk through the original hotel before the fire.

 

Yes Brent looks better mentally but you can see him struggle a little with his confidence . I hope he's able to find someone who can operate the old winch for the carriage . If not it wouldn't be a bad idea to update the winch with a more modern design . I hope he can find away down to the 1250 level , I'm very curious to what's down there

 

Yes the Union mine was possibly damaged from the 6.9 and 7.4 magnitude earthquakes in Ridgecrest in 2019

 

Any chance we have an arborist amongst us? Came up to the lake and saw something (or someone)peeled bark from around one of our birch trees. Not sure if it is deep enough to cause mortal damage to the tree or not.

 

Hope this one is the trick and helps you long term.

that should be ok.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmYCCAGqbpk

 

looks like it will be okay. id paint it with blk spray paint to seal the wound.thats what i do when i trim trees on the yard

 

Thanks. I do hope it’s ok. Been there since I was a baby! Not sure what happened to it though.

 

I thought I might be onto your secret since you were around the Idaho state line He description makes it sound like a nice byway. Well, except for that unmaintained, possibly very muddy 5 mile section. You could try it as an out and back or just an out and stay if Chebby got stuck.

 

Good morning

 

Mornin’

Thanks, I was always told if bark is stripped all the way around that it can kill trees. No teeth or any marks I can see. I’ll be keeping an eye on it now.

 

Good morning.

Work is forcing me into retirement at 56. They won’t hold a position for me. Treatment day - fasting and I’m hungry…

 

Good morning. Grass cutting day.
