I felt much better after an hour or so tooling around on my WH making noise and clouds of dust. Edit: I'm sure nobody else here understands that. Yup. Kid of sounds like my day. Took the pontoon for the last trip around the lake today, then pulled it out. Seat time making dust and noise after that. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
echris 1,425 #6977 Posted October 11, 2020 Pulling the boats is the worst day. My father-in-law (ex, I guess) has a lake house in Mass. I was the head boat and dock worker for over 20 years. I always hated "pulling the boats and docks day". I didn't mind the work, winterizing the boats, pulling the docks, closing up the house. It was more the goodbye to summer. Meh he's not my ex father-in-law. Screw that. We did countless projects together up at his lake house over the years. His daughter may be my ex, but he's still my friend. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,590 #6978 Posted October 11, 2020 Before I set my C-141 with the grader blade I gave my Raider a little exercise. Tomorrow I'll have to see which one of my Horse's is up for some lawn sweeper duty. 8 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A whole lot less activity, and the knowledge that nice days will be fewer and farther apart. But, I do try to get outside and enjoy the nice sunny fall days. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 9,169 #6989 Posted October 11, 2020 What did you guys think of the weather today. As much as I like snow to play in with the tractors I could enjoy this type of weather year round the older I get. Today's project was fall cleaning in the cabin. Checked the flue for the woodstove and all was clean, only burn good dry hardwood sure helps and took a few pics from rooftop. Pulled everything from the cabin and porch out and vacuumed with the help of the Honda generator and washed the floors with Murphy oil soap. Washed windows and stocked up the firewood on the porch before the snow hides it. Had lunch and a cold one listened to some music and enjoyed a day in the woods. Getting ready to do some overnights out there. Used the 420 to haul the required equipment out back to stretch it's legs. 11 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,821 #6991 Posted October 11, 2020 Love that cabin Plunge. Had one like it once but went with the property when I sold it. Called it the love shack! Always figured to build another but just never got to to it. The wood stove must roast you right out! Weather here today was kinda of sucky but yesterday ws awesome!
