You may have better luck if you put that on a bottle of red wine instead of milk…

bonjour a tous !!!

some could qualify for '' just for laughs '' here !!!

 

sorry for the long wait ...

well , i wanted to take a break.....i got bored in april driving always the same roads to take pics....

then , i realized that i could  nt leave home with my 4w to go riding on the z e c ...there was 2 entrances for my street , one has been closed....the one closed was the one i was using to go in the woods

complaint from a person in town ....or bs between 2.....

so, now i must carry my 4w with my truck for 2 miles in town ....then go riding...i did it so many times for the dealership ...sick and tired to load and unload..i rode 3 rides...about 225 miles ...so, not much pics

took my last ride 3 or 4 weeks ago ....no camp yet ....my pics average is on the way down....

saw friends last night and they told me that its time to cut the grass....

then , my boss surprised me....im doing '' commercial thinning '' with chainsaw...never expected that ....tough for my back ....tbk !!!....still not 100% shape...ahaha

....and so-so weather....

friend of mine works on park matane....still some spots of snow...as of last week...

yesterday was '' la st jean baptiste ''...so, inauguration of the new bridge in town......took a few pics

beside that , very quiet 

everything liquid is more expensive now.......gas , beer and wine ...

gas went up to 2 24... 2 weeks ago....friend of mine works for h-q ....he went to manic  5 dam about 1 month ago.....2 45 l

so , thats  about it !!!

Good to see you back.  Commercial Thin to start the year tough.  Hopefully it isn't too limby.  Gas is a killer for sure,  everyone is effected by the prices.

Could you go out your road,  up the shoulder of the 132 to the sawmill, then travel in the TLR or would you get hassled?

OK, thought the one up behind the first gas station was the road they closed on you.

I am guessing from the photo they are spraying Budworm again  

Nice night shots of the bridge inauguration 

no....yes, spraying for budworms last sunday morning ....flying behind the mill and next to shortcut for clubhouse

last wednesday ...at least 2 planes spraying somewhere next to my camp ....could hear them from work...coming from matane i guess

2 helicopters....airport in town ...one came last week next to my work and turning around over my truck...could see pilot making u-turns and donuts !!!

 

merci

Ouch! I guess the 2x2 construction just couldn't  hold the new roof and the snow.

bonsoir piston lake cruiser !!!

if you look closely ...i guess its more the upper section of the trailer who could nt support the weight of everything .

the owner made a big mistake.....between the trees and no wind at all ...about 15 miles from my camp ....my  biggest ride ...about 100 miles

pics taken june  2 nd....

nice weather today ...sunny and windy ....late september weather day...

must have been bumpy crossing to cote nord today on the st lawrence!!!...ahaah

 

well , thx for the signature.....funny ,made me think of when the dealership was i my street .....my signature was so bad....'' doctor style ''...lawyer ''etc.....when guys from transport compagnies were delivering at the dealership.....they asked me to stop signing the bills.....nobody could read it !!!...at least 3 compagnies

....and the girls at the z e c office scratched their heads a long time before knowing who was signing when i was  registring  at the zec office

and about signature...ive been told often to put my name on my pics......last may or early june ...found out that someone was using my own pics to make his own publicity about sledding !!!

and '' jaws '' spent the weekend in town !!! its a first ...ahhaah

i took pics for the non-believers !!!😀

bonjour !!!

 

went to my camp yesterday morning to cut the grass.....a bout 3 miles before , a little bridge.....i noticed the water was brown...so , i thought someone worked during the night...then , i noticed a castor...about 40' away...started to take pics...then , after a few mins ....i realized that he never clapped his tail on the water...

kept taking pics and looking at him riding....something was wrong ....he was riding in a little circle ..just like a needle on a clock and going under water for a few seconds...looks like he was stuck ...

spent almost half an hr there....then he tried to .'' escape '' and i saw that he had something on his tail.....a trap ...

someone forgot his trap there i guess....late afternoon ,when i passed there....it was 29c....he was in the sunshine ...no shade at all...jumping in the water time to time...

 

well ,cutting my grass was nt a success....after 10 mins...blew an axle and a flat tire...ahaha...

took a short 4w ride....harvesting trees everywhere....they still have another year to cut on the z e c ...talked with a guy doing his maintenance on his machine
