Drop Two Snags; Miss The Electrical Box
You have to assess the weight and lean on trees like this, and then hope that the wood is still solid. Wood gets punky pretty fast in dead trees, and then your aim can be overcome by gravity. We had one today that broke off its hinge on the way down, and it moved off its aim point by several degrees, These two trees were still solid and went right where the hinges pointed them.
Another Fairbanks 208!
Looking through photo/video folders I ran across this pump jack and 208, from back in the Spring of 2012. It's a decent video, even if it is just another Fairbanks 208 running an oil well. I always stop to listen and watch when I run across one of these on my walks in the backcountry of Southern Illinois.

Gun Blogger Rendezvous and HAVA Check Presentation...
Ruger's Auction To Benefit The USA Shooting Team
Ruger is donating to a different beneficiary this week, and this very rare gun is generating plenty of interest. This Mk II pistol is evidently a prototype for the pistols that Ruger supplied to the U.S. Army. It was rollmarked on November 3, 1982, and has been residing in Ruger's safe ever since. There are slight differences from the pistols produced for the Army, and therefore it is extremely rare and collectible. As I post this there are thirty bids and the price is over $2400, so brace yourself if you plan to make a bid. 100% of the proceeds of this auction will go to benefit the USA Shooting Team, and the hammer will fall mid-day, February 3, 2016. Click Here, or on the picture to place your bid.
46 bids, $4790! There are some very generous folks out there!
