Dual winch. Got to love it. Especially when that is my winch in front.

I learned a few things:
Steve Ceby taught me that two winches are better than one. Ryan Anderson that a clean roommate is priceless. Eric Forrest, Rob McGuire and Adam Ricci, that this GSTMR wasn’t the same without them there. Our whole Saturday trail 16 crew, that joy and good times can be found even in adversity ( breakage) with the right tools and spare parts on hand. Johnny and the Moonshine motels hospitality is second to none. And that that I truly enjoyed the folks I spent time with from, Old North State Cruisers, Upstate Cruisers, and the whole Toyota Land Cruiser family. What a great weekend.

Dumped the POs Hella knockoffs for some junkyard Sequoia horns. Sounds much better
Soccer has officially begun.
Next week for us. All three kids are on the same team this year though, so at least we won’t have 0800 games and 1400 games on the same day.
Heard the story, hate I missed it, but thankful you’re ok!
Charlie’s Creek and Tray Mountain roads for some bratwurst in Hellen. Spotted a sweet 60 in Clayton and a diesel Prado on the trail.

De-snorkeled in preparation for a new windshield tomorrow. Added the expanded steel to the opening to keep the stray hair weaves from getting sucked into the manifold

Been wanting to do this for a while and finally got around to deleting the ARB turn signals. They weren’t wired anyway and never saw a need since the regular signals are still unblocked (maybe an Aussie regulation?)
My eyeball measurement of drilling the mounting hole 2” back from the opening was about 1/4” too far, so they are recessed a little more than I wanted. So these are French mounted with a little extra retreat.

Without a crowd, ran Old Hwy 105 around to Linville Falls area and got some trees cut. Really need to hit one of those campsites.
Last week: Hurricane Creek scouting run and played in the snow with kids on Max Patch.
Today: A little dirt road and massive burger in Saluda followed by a hike and waterfall.

Finally getting a little wrenching time on the 40 build.
Sweet!
Drove the Trollpatrol up to Tryon Saturday and winched a monster red oak burl about 50 yards out of a ravine. Had to weigh a good 3k or so. I’m surprised the frame didn’t rip in half because I broke all kinds of recovery gear getting it out My alternator is toast and my batteries hate me now. Destroyed a snatch block. Even with 20k lbs of pulling power it took 5 hours. Felt great to get back in the woods again though
