Hopefully your day will go better. If you get stuck in the mud on a boat you're probably at the bottom of the sea.

Yep, last week after dark I decided to go for a ride, I had cut a trail through the trees a few years ago and a limb fell across it and grass grew up around it and couldn't see it any more, after a few beers I decided to ride it anyways, I forgot it had three forks and got hung up between the second and first fork, might of had a few beers, no problem, went to get the truck and chain and the strangest thought crossed my mind, beer pitch black night, maybe I should wait until tomorrow when it's daylight! HA! Glad I did, I really had Rooster hung up. Moral of this is some times beer can make you think straight, but very rarely in my case! HA!

I have always made sound, well thought out judgements while drinking. I guess I'm lucky that way. It wasn't til the next day that they were stupid! LMFAO

Put 20 miles on today with my little guy. We brushed out about 5 miles of trail. Had a good day, picnic and quality time with my son in the woods. That is what it's all about.
P.S. Twenty miles and brushing trails is a most-of-the-day ride were we are. $21k for a sxs, $5k in accessories, $1k in saws and clippers, spending the day outdoors with your son... PRICELESS!

going back into the shop AGAIN today to find out why my steering is clunking at the end of the lock.my just replaced steering.i really hope it's just a knuckle and not the new rack.

 

[rickoshea]

it's the rack.

 

[tdhanses]

Isn’t that the RB3 rack?

 

[rickoshea]

Isn’t that the RB3 rack?

Be interesting to hear why it’s failing.

Rode to an old 11,500 ft CCC Fire lookout in Wyoming Tuesday. I was sucking air but Pioneer did ok.

I've flown by quite a few of the fire lookouts in the Sierra, the lookouts use to come out and wave and I'd rock my wings. With most of them closed and many of those removed, they use to (don't know if they still do) rent some of the remaining ones to folks for the weekend. A friend of mine's wife had pancreatic cancer, he took her to a tower NNW of Minden, NV about 70 miles. I flew another mutual friend in my Husky up there and surprised them, first doing a strafing run and circling the tower at their level (of course we maintained legal separation of 500'), all of us waving at each other like idiots! It was fun! Sadly she died a few months later, he followed 5 years after, cancer in the spine. He was in his late 50's and way too young for that. (Sorry for the downer.)

Rode 65 miles in the SW Wyoming Desert looking at petroglyphs and cliff dwellings, yesterday. Pretty challenging hill/decent at 6500 ft.
Following game trails and wagon routes.
Lots of smoke coming through from the south, though.

Good year for deer and antelope, The desert is still pretty green and wet. We saw lots of wildlife, even in town.
