Somewhere I have a video of my grandkids sledding down a hard packed country road here in Oregon. I'll have to see if I can find it and upload it to YouTube for sharing.

There's no fooling with that.
It's ours and we're keeping it - but every so often, say around February or March, we'll send a little taste of it down South.
So that y'all will know what you're missing out on . . . .   ;D

We have yuppies that can't drive in the snow so they salt and brine it on an inch thick.
They won't slow down or buy winter deeps with studs.

I dont like it when it does this.....


 

I just stay in if it is bad that way i dont get mixed up with them folks who think they can drive on such roads. I usually only go see my cows and when it is like this they are happy to see me.

Mid winter here right now.



 

Got down to 65° F last night.  I needed a blanket. (Not kidding)
The quickest way to make a million dollars with a sawmill is to start with two million.

Or when they drive past the "no winter maintenance" sign blindly following a GPS at 40 mph and come to a stop with only the trunk lid visible from the drift. Many years ago I put a sign just past the warning sign that said "shovel rent $25 an hour, cash deposit required" with my phone number.

In my house I'm the boss, I know this because my wife said so, I only hope she doesn't change her mind!

New to me Timber Harvester that I'm learning to operate, been building a home built mill for a while, should be ready to make sawdust with it someday if I ever quit "modifying" the design.

Bruno, 

Can you tell me what hot oiled is?  I sometimes get my vehicles sprayed with fluid film to help prevent rust, is this similar?

Hot oil is new bar and chain oil heated then sprayed on like fluid film but much better.
Not many doing it around my place anymore because Company's don't want it dripping in their parking lots.
A guy still does it 2 towns over. You have an appointment and wait and then leave right off with you truck .
The place my wife use to work would not let you park you car or truck in the lot if it was freshly hot oiled. They would fine you.
It's the best undercoating .

I go to a place in Vermont to get hot oil undercoating.  It's great, they have a gun shop to hang out in while you wait or if you have to be doing something like me you can go split firewood for them lol  I thought it was used engine oil?  Either way it's illegal in NY I'm glad I'm right on the VT border sometimes
Boy, back in my day..

coxy

what isn't illegal in ny ::) ::) i figure in a few years it will be illegal to breath here because you'll be taking air from a endangered animal

Customer's wood coming in, Red Oak and W Pine


 


Last of a timber frame going out.


  

 

When the first truck came back later he had a box on the truck this time with the last of the logs.
Some truckers use a box to put stumps and lose stuff in. Drag it on , Drag it off.
