Stupid truck, half way home from getting groceries, it just quit running. Heavy traffic at a light, half mile away from home, groceries in the bed, yadda, yadda, yadda. Tag teamed the groceries home, it eventually fired up, ran like crap enough to limp home. I guess my mechanic will have another job soon enough. Deja vu, seems like it has done this to me before, in almost the same intersection, I think it was the same intersection. o_O

Have you considered taking an alternate route home?

Well. My grand plan for bagging up 1500+ pounds of arsenic for disposal at the chemicals cleanup this Saturday has taken a hit.

Almost got the tractor stuck mowing the waterway down to the old hand house it's stored in. Had the tractor NOT had 4Wd capability, it would yard art for a while. Not good, since the last "large quantity" cleanup day was the entire Obummer era plus a over a year into Trump's.

1500lbs of arsenic and a crop duster could be useful:D
 
Just 12 to go...

Put the Spec-Ops Rucksack into rotation for ropes gear. Because it's wide, it holds all my vert gear, including helmet, plus rescue rigs. Added two holders for water bottles.

Looks like a nice setup.
 
slowly i turned, step by step...

heyyyyy, fun times. started hewing up that pine that came down, should make a nice timber... but then realized i was doing it half adzed, so i should wait until i can truly get it squared, might as well do it goodly, but still, it was quite nice to be swinging an axe at something.

i should probably get off my duff and start some climbing again, or at least setup a place to hang and practice prusiks and other techniques again, esp with an eye towards logging adventures, it's a slow spring, but it's coming ...

next weekend is a tool auction, should be entertaining. the weekends are filling up fast, esp for April and May

I just need to get off my duff. Gonna start lifting weights again next week.
 
Guyon Guyon What's your typical load out weight? I'm climbing with 35lbs 2 day winter and around 22lbs 2 day Summer. Your load must be insanely heavy just based on the type of gear you have to carry. Not even taking in account any luxury items.
