Go a little Jurassic park there and photoshop a dinosaur in the back!
Yeah it’s not to bad. Been working on clearing little at a time. Just have to work slowly at the clearing to be able to maintain more and more. The water is in the treeline where the sky is about 450 500 feet from the rigs so not to bad of a spot. Far left the big crown of a tree is a banyan the crown is about 120 feet wide.
 
The wife’s pig got a new ps pump today, and of course had to drive the yellow pig for a parts run to finish the wife’s pig. Sun is out beer is cold and almost got it back together. Funny part is the new pump did the entire road trip with us. Just sitting waiting to go on but never got bad enough to replace. Only put about 300 miles on it since being home and it was done.

What pump is that?
 
Pig has to earn it's keep, so today it moved the race truck into the garage. Race truck doesn't roll as easy as it used to (it took a tumble last year) so we needed a winch, and then a push bumper...

Were going camping in a few weeks to Johnson Valley. I am really tired of being cold LOL I am trying one of those diesel heaters for the first time. Everything mocked up well and there was already a hole from a missing CB antenna for the exhaust. Just testing in the backyard this unit might be a bit to big. Then again we are expecting temps in the mid 30's

Got to use the winch today, why more people don’t travel with a chainsaw in the vehicle is beyond me. It’s kinda a life line right next to the bottle of water and a wallet shouldn’t be in a rig without one. Was a pain with a small saw but got thru the tree and winched the road back open for all.

Happens to us more often than it should but goes with living where we do. Spring and summer t storms blow down some good sized trees. Usually jump on tractor and push em out of way and cut em up later if neighbor hasn’t already done it,
 
Finally started on reconditioning inside of gas tank. Kim and I flushed a ton of water through it until no more debris was noted coming out.

Now it sits with 3 gallons of vinegar and filled with water from there. 4 days from now I’ll drain, dry and coat.

@greenbeast An old hot rod trick is to put a clean chain inside the tank and shake it around busting up anything else that’s loose. YMMV, but it’s usually free and can’t hurt. Might have been more helpful before you got this far. Haha

Also is that a drain in the floor. So rad.

I pushed enough water out of my shop in Colorado shop drains were an important aspect of the shop when we built it. Now, didn’t realize if would be helpful for this but it sure makes life easier.
 
I did this so i could tow my 55 and stay warm ,
