How'd it go today?

[CurSedVoyce]

Up side was; Man! I forgot what a fresh 460 feels like. She just wants to get up and git.

That sucks. Hope it ends up being something stupid and easy. This is why I don't like mechanical work. There's endless ways for things to not work, and I'm not that great at tracking them down.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

It's kinda back where I had the same issue before is my feeling. And I have eliminated some of the stuff already the last time. Definately know what to look for, and test it. Also, I bought back up parts for the shelf in case....

 

[CurSedVoyce]

New motors run a tad hot when they break in. She was no acception. Did not over heat mind you. But module was quit warm to the touch. I'll have my infra red gun out sooner this time. But did not really find any hot spots when it got back to the shop.

I've had another weird license plate coincidence at the grocery store this evening. Last fall I pulled into the parking and saw a third gen 4Runner with with the plate just before mine. Same color, I thought it was mine, except mine was on jackstands in the garage. The person was probably in the Registry at the same time I was. Tonight, there was another Golf there that has plates just three numbers away from mine. Different color, but weird.

They're the ones hired to keep an eye on you ;^)

Started off in a bad mood. Axe got stuck in the back of truck, and yanking it out pulled a bucket with it. Ended up putting a couple dents in the truck bedrails with the axe, and it seems the back window got broken, but I'm not sure how that happened. Guess I'll have to make another wood window...

Staked pile on the trail...



Saw a turtile...



Boss picked it up by the tail and put it on the other side of the pipe. Lots of dragonflys around which was cool, but it was a meh day.

Ribbon cutting ceremony today for the newly rebuilt Anan cabin. If you remember the other cabin was smashed by a tree that a group of us removed off it a number of months ago.

Senator Lisa Murkowski was here for the ribbon cutting also.

Also checked out the bear action at the observatory.

Nice cabin. I could live there.

 

[stikine]

Yeah, pretty sweet.

Camping up there is on my bucket list

 

[davidwyby]

Sunday was a very nice day in the mountains and then the beach. Perfect weather, saw some dolphins, low tide, warm water…

4’ dbh acorn woodpecker granary tree


Chokecherries

Never seen them before.



Discovered a remote area of the mountains to explore which is great since they are small mountains close to a large population so it’s hard to get alone.

Wifey and I went to the Mallard Slough cabin for her birthday treat. Very relaxing. Here's a few photos to share.

This cabin is close to the Le Conte glacier so we stopped in for the view.

 

[stikine]

The LeConte glacier is the southern most tidewater glacier in North America. It's about to hit land which will speed up its melting and will stop it's (tidewater status). Kinda weird when you can see that rapid transformation in your lifetime.

Also checked out the bear action at the observatory.

How close are the nearest clearcuts to that cabin

 

[stikine]

How close are the nearest clearcuts to that cabin

Not very close at all. Anan is in what is called a LUD 2 area which is basically one step up from a designated wilderness area ie. no major development other than the recreation cabin and observation deck.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Well... Screwed up....
Forgot to set my knot on my TIP at my bridge before I unclipped the flip line.
Off the crane ball I went.
20 ffeet. Gettin x rays

 

[lxskllr]

Holy shit! Hope you're close enough to alright. Getting a little old to be taking big falls like that. Best wishes!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Well. Got my breath back. Finished that leader. One cut off the roof. Then had him place me twice in another tree and had one of the guys cut each lead off. Job's getting done. But damn, my back and neck are sore. Can't turn my head.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Like my helmut gave me whiplash.
I landed on my butt. So comprressed some shit I am pretty certain.

 

[lxskllr]

You're tougher than me. I'd have said "frig this job, I'm going home!"
