Not playing today (must be nice ...)

Spent a good bit of the day being an apprentice sawyer to a friend at his portable mill. Came home with 3 log's worth of milled lumber (Hickory and Cherry) for a piece I'll be making for him ... in about 18 months! This stuff is pretty wet yet.

Ole Charlie came down the mountain in 4th gear and I only touched the brakes briefly in one curve. Had to drop a gear going back up. No temp or pressure issues. The 261 did great.

Enough for now. Not a particularly heavy load, but enough to smooth out the ride some :)
