Made a trip "Over the hill"" and on down into northern California to take a look at what would be involved in milling out a potato shed package three bays wide and 150' long.


 

While there I noticed dozens of old elevators sitting out in the sagebrush looks like the belt conveyors could find a use around the sawmill.


 

Both jobs I have taken the mill out on this week have also been "Over the hill" as well and not little hills!!! One the customer met me at the end of the pavement way off back at the end of a draw, from there it was a four wheel drive climb for the next three miles to a little flat spot with a deck of logs. The other one was also a four wheel drive climb that wound up along a bluff and dropped right off the other side of the ridge half way down the other side. Looking forward to some flat land jobs.


 

Had to open up the motor on the truck last week due to water in the oil as well.

That kind of "over the hill" is a good one!  the tator shed ought to be a good project,
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

Neat! There's been a bit of a resurgence in potato farming in this area as of late, there used to be quite a bit and there are abandoned potato warehouses dotting the countryside.
Too many irons in the fire
