Alaskan's Journal

[Alaskan]

At one time, I had 6 axes and 7 hatchets (5 of the hatchets were hypo hatchets) and 3 chainsaws. I've cut back some now tho.

A friend from out of state came to visit and next day called me and said:
I woke up this morning and thought, you know, I've seen teen slasher movies that had less axes than that.

Are all of those hanging on the wall? How did you get the ones to hang upside down?

Well... all of that plow trouble... keep losing connection with the plow.... finally took it in to have a professional look at it... I was hoping I could order just new plugs, wire the new plugs onto the old wiring harness.

Could NOT find anything like that on the internet.

Dude at the shop said yeah... they just sell them as a unit... the whole wiring harness... can't buy just the plugs. And of course it is just the plugs that usually wear out.... so can't salvage from an old one.

And I do NOT know enough about electric to make my own plug that won't mess up my truck.

So yeah...... Ordered a new wiring harness.

AND bought a little used plow to go on the 4 wheeler! Nice! Picked it up tonight! I will have the kids try it out tomorrow, after they hook it all up!

I think I have little baby car tire chains somewhere.... might fit on the 4 wheeler... give it more traction.

The thought of having the boys on the 4 wheeler clean up the driveway corners and the nasty junk filled parking lots! Just

Drilled a 1/4" hole in the handle and hung them on a big finishing nail.
I've also got about 8 axe heads I've found in different places, tho It's within a couple dollars as cheap to just buy a new ax as it is to buy a handle nowadays.
The racket that's hanging there, is for swatting Texas mosquitoes..

If you're going to make war on trees, ya want to go well armed....

Blasted wiring harness is now so far gone. . Even with a heck of a bunch of wiggling... can no longer get the plow to lift!!

Managed an up and down pass driving only forward.


Cant hook the blasted wheeler plow without a plate... no plate in town...

Had to mail order.

On a happier note:

From the shortest day of the year... getting a tree from out driveway.

Sunset

Kid 2 and 1

Kids fighting in the snow

We decided the one at the top of that cluster looked good. Kids going to grab it.

Kid 3 on the wheeler, decided to pull the tree home this year with the wheeler instead of by hand.

Eldest pulling youngest back up to the driveway.

Looks like youngest is practicing/planning to be a plumber... That's gotta be cold!

Church last night

Eldest doing some of the readings last night. There are lots of old testament and epistle readings in the service. All of the readings tell of the coming of Christ or the eternal Kingdom that he brings.

Church... still tickled about the cross and dome being done!

Walking home from church last night at 5pm... my barn, shop with lights on behind it.
