Once a tanker, always a tanker.

I got the skidsteer all hung up on a giant log today. Prolly 20” in diameter. It lurched to the right… the left track was in the air spinning and the skidsteer was at abt a 25° angle. A little dangerous…

Fuck! I’m in the middle of the woods by myself. Shoulda taken a picture.

Army training kicked in. Stuff logs under the left track so it can get gription. I had my chain saw with me. Cut some logs to put under the left track. (I also used the front end loader to push myself up and back.

And it worked!

Who said being a tanker had no transferable skills to civilian life?

Got a lot of trail cut today. Had a stubborn spot with a lot of down logs.. maybe only got 30-40 Ft done in two hours, but then I broke out into a more open area.

I should have that trail done tomorrow.
Glad you figured it out, W! Army training taught you how to think your way out of a problem!
 
I dislike how some professions are treated... 99% of the people don't have their degree "revoked" or expire, just because they worked in a different field for a while....
I will always have my degrees; they're earned and can't be taken away. It's the license to practice which is conferred by the state. It can be taken away, mostly for egregious infractions. In my case, I voluntarily let my license expire.
 
Good morning patrons of the diner. It was good ton read that RJ and Lillli were around. For those in the bullseye of storms today, be careful.

I may need to help my daughter with rides to and from the dealership today. Also will see my GF and an evening of celebrating another widows birthday with other ‘WIDs’. We are an active group.

Have a lazy relaxing Saturday. 😊
