hi all !!

for you big city people who don t have much chances to see that kind of traffic !!!

guy started to haul my wood this morning !!!

smclelan....talked with the guy ..

its a 73 !!! made a big maintenance at 25 000 hrs..everything... including motor..

change wheel...clutch and transmission bearing at least once a year to prevent bad luck while working ..etc..

look closely between front wheel / idler and frame...he extended the width by 5'' on both side..

the handling is way better...don t '' swing '' as much !! more stable..

the clam open up to 68 '' !!!

better oil pump ...instead of 14 gallons a min up to 32 gallons now...full throttle !!!

the big arm ....modified it and welded it with t-1 ..lot stronger....

1.5 cords average and if trail is nice and flat ....2 cords !!!

and many more modifications,....work very fast !!!

No frost yet jg ?

hi artsled !!!

no frost yet ...coldest up to now...5-6c early morning...last night at the camp ..around midnight..it was 10c....

saw only 1 moose....on the plowed road we used to go at my camp during gathering ...it was darkness..

not too happy with waterfalls pics...passed by that place yesterday morning to go down to river...then went to take a look at falls...decided to go back at night for more pics..once i arrived at camp..put tripod on 4w to make sure not to forget...

ready to go at night...park my 4w on the road and walk roughly 600' in the woods to go to falls...once there.....t?k !!realized that i had forgotten my tripod on 4w..mad at myself....'' window '' to take pics was way too short....so ,i took all my pics without tripod....i can see that they are ''shaken ''...blurred a bit ...

still great weather here...almost no rain...brook at camp is low..but ive seen lower by a few inches !!!

Hi jg do you fish there? Looks like it could be good!

hi artsled !!!

no fishing on that part of river...roughly 5 miles lower...there s a fence across the river to keep all salmons in the same pool ( marsh )...by doing that ..they avoid poaching....

without that fence i could eat salmon every week end i guess...tons of road to go to river...but i don t fish ...

salmon fishing begin roughly 7 miles lower...part of river ...300.00$ a day with guide.. if my memory still good...then... lower...cheaper...

finally ..7 moose this week end..but all within a few mins of darkness...

hi all !!!

last thursday morning ,i cut a tree and got slightly stuck in the branches of another one..

instead of pushing on that tree...i cut another one to knock him down...last pic,can see the stump in the middle right side of pic...

while looking at both trees falling down...something caught my eyes on left side...black cloud...

nest of black and white bees...

so, friday i brought my camera and took pics early morning ...they were frozen !!!

yellow and black ones are mostly underground..saw a few nests 20-28' up a tree !!!

Good thing it was cold, those white and black ones tend to have a bad disposition!!
