Did some work on a project. Pulled a sporter 270 barrel. The viper barrel vice did pretty good. Started some reassembly after cerakote. Barrel is out being bead blasted. Hope to assemble next weekend.

Sorry, but for a minute there I thought this was going to be a Titan submarine joke that was too deep for me to understand.
Not very fun or pretty.
Should've snapped a few pics while I was on vacation.

This is a few days old, we’re home now, but I caught the last few rays of sun over Waikiki on our last vacation day. My wife is already making plans for another vacation…
Stuck my head in the clouds on today's exploration of crater lake.
Turned north today and took in a short hike by Mt Hood, kicked up some Elk in heavy timber (no pic) and later Multnomah Falls.
Strolled on up to Mount Rainier. Mama was a bit tuckered out from our hike yesterday so we stayed on the easy path today.
Hank's first pumpkin that he helped carve. I'll try to get a picture of Gus when he's done with his.

No foul in that! My kids had help until they quit wanting to do it, the were about 12/13 when it happened
Guess driving a 10-year-old car has its advantages…. Was third overall, but my Pax index pushed me to the top today!
There’s a man that stops by our plant in TX selling tamales.
Last week I picked another dozen. They’re delicious.

Not "my" view... Wife took the picture. Youngest grandson's birthday party yesterday.
I might be a bit fond of the little guy.

My driveway is under this mess somewhere. Maple trees are a blessing and a curse in the fall. It's been raining for days so a fair amount of leaves are getting knocked down.
Same here. My wife found some young sucke…I mean, kid who’s raking leaves for like $30. That child labor is getting exploited this weekend sometime fo’ sho’
No leaves in sight here in south-central Alaska. Spent a couple nights out by the lake. Peaceful.

SE Idaho Fall Foliage
Son in Law has a youtube channel, XTForTheKing. While he just posted this video it was filmed from a couple of weeks ago. There is some beautiful country out there when you get to higher elevations and out of the desert.

Last relaxing moment before heading in to work…
26 degrees this morning deer hunting.
See the 6 bolts? They hold the pinion carrier. They vibrated loose. No loc tite. 37,000 dollars of repair costs vs. 10 cents worth of blue loc tite.
Headed to Harry Jones Memorial Range from Morgantown. F86 Sabre along Route 7. Place used to have old Bessemer and Reid oil field engines.. hope they weren't scrapped.
Headed to research plots to Cruse timber for the USFS FIA. Plot locations are not exposed.
Worked in an older clear cut (great site maybe 8 years old...) Lots of Oak regen.

Is that the end of a jacobs staff you're using as a pointer? ETA: and I'm guessing the old iron is part of a wood stove.
Yep thats my jacobs staff. Most usefull tool I have lol makes pulling tape eaiser when your on your own lol
I have a hobby that I seldom have time for which is a fascination for old school compasses and surveying equipment. That led to a very small amount of knowledge of surveying itself. But when it comes to the old school math involved, my mind just blocks that out lol. I know virtually nothing of the new equipment since the advent of GPS etc. I suppose you use some sort of GPS with the staff or do you still go forester's compass?
Combination of the 2. I'm currently working inventory and analysis. We use fixed area plots, so we gps to plot center and use a compass/loggers tape to ensure we cruise trees that are historically "in" the plot.
Plots are historical and looking at data (DBH, Tree Grade, Heights, Disease over time). I put the Jacobs staff in the center of the plot and measure off of it. Any tree that is withing 28 ft of the center is considered "in" and is tallied/crusied.
In my previous job I was cruising for harvesting so I would use a prism to determine if trees were "In" or "out" of the plot. Those were a lot faster, prism showed the tree in, we cruised it. Though we did a lot more plots. Like 20 plots for 75 acres for example to get an idea of what the stand conditions were/ board feet, value ect.
The current job with the forest service is kind of a national cruise, we use historical fixed plots to determine, site index, land change, timber quality ect, but these plots represent a larger area, there might be 3 plots located in an grid thats several miles wide.
Sorry, for the long paragraph.
