TODAYS SEAT TIME

   / TODAYS SEAT TIME #13,942  
I hook my rake and shovel in my bh bucket when I’m doing work - well it got me today - I decided to turn the compost before starting a bed cleanup and heard something but kept going, then I see the small rake handle on the ground with no rake - so I’m looking all over for the rake and it’s embedded in my rear tire.

Two plugs later all good - holding steady after 12 hours

Hate it when that happens! I got a deer antler stuck in my rear tire once, punched a hole in the tire and tore up the fender as well.:mad:

I sorted/moved some logs today, this one was 13' by 35",

It's going to be 10" x 10" beams; I should be able to get several out of that big one and a few more out of the other logs I staged today.

I bet that has not happened to to many people - pure bad luck.

The bucket is convenient to carry stuff but being out of sight is easy to forget as many know from experience but to put a rake thru the tire is another example of bad luck. The worst I have done is run over an almost new Husqvarna chain saw helmet.

I find deer sheds (along with assorted deer bones) in the pasture every year. I usually spot them when I'm out there doing something else and pick them up. Have run over them several times when mowing and they make quite a racket going through the cutter, but only punctured a tires once (so far) in 19 years here.

I have a whole collection of them in the shop because I think there must be some use for them. The only thing I have come up with so far is to use a piece as a handle for my bottle opener.

Also unlucky right front between tire and rim. :(

Here is the offending antler and the bent fender. Damage wasn't that bad, curled the lip under and scratched up the paint, but of course, I couldn't live with that on my Baby. 😔 So, I replaced the fender, which meant unbolting the ROPS and found out one of the bolts was stripped from the factory. Also had to buy the stickers for the fender because it doesn't come with them on it and I wanted it to look original.

Incidentally, the rear fender cap on that side had already been replaced because the original selling dealer scratched the he!! out of it when installing the Power Beyond.

Over the years mowing near fence line sound of hitting antler does catch one attention really quick. o_O

I could easily move that... after bucking it up into 16 inch chunks. They would be pretty useless on the sawmill.

Nice log. Is it a sugar maple, or maybe something we don't have here?
