Rain finished in the night and the clearing sky let it all freeze over. No grandson this weekend, so I can take my time and give the sun chance to warm things up a little before going out again, it's way too easy to slip and fall on the almost invisible ice out back.
Our driveway has been taking a real pounding from all the heavy trucks making the track for the railway embankment work. They have graded the old base ready for new stone and keeping reasonable access by making a pass over a couple of times a day with a dozer and substantial vibrating roller that makes our whole house shake. Unfortunately this has caused a spring to break out from the side of the slope and water is now constantly running down the track. Unless they can find an obvious cause, like a broken or blocked field drain close by, it will need a french drain to take the water back into my field.
Mostly, new bike coming ! :dance1: . What type of frame tubing did you decide on ?

Thanks Eric,
I don't jump like I used to. At 54 it takes longer to heal. :laughing:
Plus it's a brand new sled and I need to get use'd to the balance of it.

Cat fever that is a wow pic! I don't see a ramp. How did you get airborne going uphill? That sled has power! I bet it make you feel young again . . . .

17 going to 42.
Was in southeast Virginia yesterday...had some snow showers. When I first started hunting this farm 40 years ago there was a decrepit old tree stand nailed up into a maple tree. Many of the boards were still intact, since they were oak. I named it the Antique stand and rebuilt it. Well, the maple finally came down from a hurricane and I cut up as much as possible for firewood yesterday (avoiding the nails). It had already started to rot, so probably would have left it except for the nostalgic value.
Cat, great photo. I've never been on a "sled" so how do you catch air going uphill? Was there a jump out of the frame?
More firewood cutting today while the ground is frozen and before the 2 day rains come Monday night.

Good morning! 2 above right now and going for a high of 23 with flurries in the forecast.
I gotta take as quick trip to town today, then back to widen the driveway. That is the only problem with plowing over blowing as far as I can see.

22 out this AM. With a clear morning sky looks to be a day for a road trip.
Need to make a dump run and get rid of a pickup truck worth of paint, and find some time to go into the woods and collect the firewood I cut last week.
Have a great day all, enjoy the weekend. Be safe.

Good morning! 49˚ only heading to 56˚ cloudy 20% chance of rain, a dismal day.
I have to re-do a water control berm on the driveway. My wife said she feel like she is going airborne like Cat fever when she goes over the newly raised berm.
Drew thanks for the link to the new drag blades. I was calling it a 3-way blade but it's actually called a 6-way. I'll put out the word around town and see if anyone is interested before advertising. This old Iron is very heavy - they don't make them like this anymore so I'm hoping someone will see the value and snatch it up for $700.
That gives me room for a friends, family and TBN discount.

much colder 29 out, going up to 44 today, then a warming trend. But for today, going to pass on working outside, maybe go out in the sun after lunch. Need to run a few errands, then a quiet day today.

Need to get coffee brewing. 50° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 74° with sunny skies. Oldest son is in town for the weekend. Will find something to do with him.
Cat, great picture. Back when I played with snowmobiles. The only thing made out of aluminum was the frame and engine.
Don, hard to believe that a working HD 7' blade is only worth $100.
Good Morning All.
