Between work training trips and yard work I've been helping a little on my dad's barn project. I think I posted a couple pics of his project rehab farm in the Compound thread last winter. Anyway, the roof caved in under snow load last winter so he's trying to square and level it to get a new roof and a fresh coat of paint on it. It's mostly his project. I've helped very little.
We passed this public riding area on the way back from the dump so later I went over and checked it out. It's about 15 minutes from my house. I was the only one there for the 30-40 minutes I putted around.
No idea how big the place is but I only saw a portion while I was there.
Did an 8 hour shift in the sun last Friday. Drove the tractor from my parents house and mowed 3 acres. Then dropped the mower for a blade to do some general cleanup. Trimmed some trees. Still have a ton to do.
A big reason for the lack of updates is that we've been unable to get internet access out here. FINALLY, after 4 trips out they were able to make it happen last week.
How did your father clear out the collapsed barn roof? I have a similar problem with a one story barn.
Did an oil change and a set of plugs on a Silverado yesterday morning. No pics because, who cares? After that was done I decided to build a front trail rack for the TW. There are a couple commercially available versions but I don't really like them plus I think they're kinda spendy for what they are. I had a luggage rack left over from the C-monster project so I cut and spliced it to fit. I chose a high mount position so that the headlight was still functional if I had a sleeping bag or something strapped to it.
I also ordered up this cheap little deployment bag from Amazon. I'm actually pretty impressed with the quality for something so inexpensive. Has about a dozen pockets plus a bunch of molle web and eyelettes. I'm going to set it up for day trips with tools, basic first aid, and still have room for a few water bottles and some snacks.
Just a couple items to get started.
Almost forgot, I put a new Spark plug in it too since I figured it's probably the original from '96 still in it. Didn't think it ran too bad before but it's noticeably smoother now.
My brother comes to town next week so hopefully we can get some riding in.

I just want a pair to hang out with my rabbits
you got ripped off, one of them is a cat.....😛
Not a big huge update. Just been chipping away at the grounds. The previous owner was a total halfasser when it came to fencing. I peeled away a bunch of chicken wire as well as a bunch of cattle panels. There's still a bunch to do. Also carved away at the trees on the sides of the driveway as well as trimmed a bunch of grass up against the edge of the road. After that I finished cleaning the shed and moved some stuff in.
Found one of these guys laying in the driveway. Pretty sure it's a bull snake.
Also added some stuff to my TW bag. Still need to pick up a few more things.
