Nice! Great perspective.

That one looks like the only direction it will go is to the lean. No way to influence it much, though a proper restraint line might offer something.

Welcome to the TreeHouse, Mine. Happy to have you with us. We miss Stig, as you must as well. Take care, and drop in as much as you can.

I wouldn't bet against a deer mouse being able to navigate the underside of that capstone. But for most rodents I think it would work a treat.

The limb locking is the fly in the ointment, for sure. I had one somewhat similar that I attempted to cut free with a sideways salami cut, hoping the hung tree would shift loose and fall. But after doing that twice more after the butt dropped to the ground closer to the tree the leaner was...

That will most definitely not buff out.

I hope you find enjoyment after working so hard for so many years...as I have. For a short time after I retired, I answered the call to provide climbing and/or sawyer training to the USFS as a contractor. It was very good money, and entirely pleasant work. But soon enough I realized I was...

Glaciers will do that :).

I had the thought that the sidecar might be useful for luggage/cargo on the trips back and forth to see your girls. Plus, the look of a bike with sidecar is so old school that it is appealing in that way ;).

One a lot closer to you... https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/mcy/d/san-jose-honda-shadow-sabre-1100/7839665624.html

Here ya go, @Kaveman...cheap, under 10k miles, and comes with a sidecar! https://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/mcy/d/portland-1995-honda-shadow-vt1100/7843255384.html

Heck, your gas price is less than ours right now...if that is for regular grade gasoline. If that's for diesel, it's still less. Stephen always pays astronomical prices for his fuels, unfortunately.

That leaner is much bigger than the perspective the initial pics give. Nice work, all.

I'm with @stikine...run it through your vehicle. But I'm not quite as cautious...start with a full tank and soon as there's 5 gallons of room in the vehicle tank, I'd pour the lot in and never worry. Just don't put it all in an almost empty tank.

It sure does.
