Topped a tree, made it go from 60 footer to a 20 footer, cut it up, mulchified the limbs, made some firewood and did a lot of sweating.

Oh my ..geee wish you had pics of that ..sounds like nothing left now ...you do it girl
If I had done that outside in Metro Phoenix heat today, I’d be in the hospital this evening. Instead, I’ve been doing some kitchen plumbing. Minimal water ended up under the cabinets and on the floor. Now I have a catch in my back that wasn’t there before, however…
This was one of my missions today (however also rebuild the starter to my little John Deer, and opened up the pop up to see the damage from sitting):
This was the tree we topped, and you can see the deck we built recently too 
Did this yesterday:

On top of the Bike stuff yesterday also went and bought a Pop Up ca,per to rebuild the way we want it for 500.00 and I rebuilt the John Deer Starter and bought a new battery for it, then cut the grass.

Like that headlight on the wing ...are those led light lights ....do you have climbing gear ..that tree was tall ...tough girl
Yeah all the front lighting is LED, the signals are those Proton 500's installed into CBR250 stalks, and the headlight is all projector LED's. The Halo was not expected when I got it and I wired it so it was yellow instead of white.
For the tree we rented a bucket truck, since I have a CDL it is way easy to access these type of things.

does going to the mail box count as doing anything
Finishing up a week in N. Carolina riding those wonderful roads in the mtns. Watching the weather front coming across our path. I think we're going to get wet today.

That trip was on my bucket list. Looks like I will have to do it by RV now.[url=https://classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=211568#p211568:3tic1uld said:

I wish! It's not big enough for a full coastal trip. :fiddle:[url=https://classicgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=211584#p211584:377ljm2r said:

I'm getting ready to check that one off of my list.
I've wanted to ride the Cabot Trail since the early 90's when I was stationed in Maine, but never got the chance - my sons were too young and other things mattered more at the time.
It would've been fun to have one last ride together before you sell the slug. :crying:

That would be a great way to enjoy one last trip, but I can't even go 100 miles without major back and knee pain now. The poor Slug is being used as a local pick up truck for now. The only highway she gets is traveling down to the boatyard in the offseason about 24 miles from here.
We took a ride today over to the St. Croix river valley.
We would have taken the Wisconsin side back, but the Stillwater lift bridge is still under construction, leaving only 36 as a way back over the river. It was nearing rush hour, and 36 is far from my favorite highway to travel on - 55mph four lane, with frequent lights. Thanks, but no thanks.
