If you haven’t read it, his autobiography is awesome. I have if if you’d like to borrow it.

Oh I've read tons on the life of Smokey--I think his best remark was when he told GM that their Corvette was a manure spreader.

 

[Junkyard]

The people he rubbed elbows with is amazing. Talk about the right place and the right time in history.

The old term for a West Sider---------Moss Back or 206'er. Plus one thing was left out----------
Blackberry vines worse than bamboo-but them berries are good on vanilla ice cream.

Actually, Blackberry vines = blackberry vines in the southeast. We got tons of them, and they are one of my favorite things to eat.

 

[Hallback]

I can't take Skagit picking berries, he eats them all off the vines!

LOL. My first Jack did that with those little tomatoes. He'd find them under the bush and eat them, then he realized hey, look at all these other ripe ones. <Nosh Nosh Nosh>

What is the blue pc 200? I dont know what it is but i want it.

The PC290-11 is the carrier for our Falcon winch assist system.
It is a very nice tool as it gives up to 44k assistance in tension on our Tigercat 855. Here is a photo from yesterday.
This was a 78% slope.

Thats serious line pull , what kind of wire do you run to make that on a single line pull?
Like your web site . Your log trucks look good . As ive comented before nice loads ,but not the tire crunching iron wrenching loads i see up here.

 

[Hallback]

We run 1-1/8" compact swaged so we have a better than 3-1 safety margin on the line.

Thank you, I try to have the best that I can so if I fail, it's on me & not for lack of spending or trying.

You mean to say you haven't got the missus making jam out of them yet..?
Hint: Add sour apples to the jam, it makes the fruit go further.
We call them cooking apples back home, no idea if they exist in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bramley_apple

Reminds me of what Smokey Yunick used to call mon-backers. The guys on the trash trucks telling the driver cmon back!

There are actually three "tribes". Moh-tees, mom-backs, and ho-de-dohs.......... but that's a story for another day.

BTW. Like the site Hallback, especially the photos.
