Well, the summer didn't last long. It ended with a thunderstorm and it's raining almost continuously since then. Fun.

Peonias are coming very soon.

I tried to read what's written on it but I got nothing.

Nothing as dramatic, but here the weather turned from chilly to summer days in just one day. Like flipping a switch.

Nice. Our tallest dahlias are around 5 feet usually.

They aren't roofers. The T-shirts have a tree on them.

" It's just mental". Yeah, but the mental controls the body. And my mental says "that's a f*cking dumb shit to do". So, no way it would let me do this stunt. ;)

I simplified the problem of limb walking it : I don't do it. My balance isn't good enough to play this game and I don't want to take the risk.

For me, it feels weird to use a mineral oil on a food related product, even if it's a "clean" one. "Food grade mineral oil" is a strange association of words, in my mind at least. But I saw yesterday some vids about making cutting boards. They use the mineral oil too (and then a mineral oil -...

Like our trees are just a joke ! So humbling.

Push it in a little harder and it should stay like that alone. :D

The sparks came from the frame's rear or the fender touching the road, not the glove.

From this point of view, the long nose truck type is far better than the cab-over. The driver would have been killed in a flat nose.

The flat spot acts as a rotating valve to close/open the intake and outpout holes of the pump's cylinder. Somewhere on the small shaft a ramp/came makes the shaft moves axially while it's rotating. The both combined give the pumping motion. No check valve, very simple system. It looks like the...

The japanese maple will have no chance in the fight.

and take a really nice warped shape. I'm very surprised by the amount of move by this wood dry for so long. The warping can be severe in other species too, but usually, it's when the drying occurs.

Blocks and pulleys for arborist work are very often way undersized, bend radius wise. Say, if the rope needs five time its diameter as a bend radius, all you can find is likely a three time. If one wants to do it right, he has to look on the logging blocks or the industrial rigging. But it's...

Heavy rain and strong wind this morning. What a good day to cut a bunch of dead maples in the forest. Luckily that didn't last long and I lost only one hour, staying quiet in my van (actually, I completed my night!). The water had still the time to pool around my van, turning the little dirt...
