The Czickness LII.2…..the sunshine and roses version.

Many diss grafted ornamental pear trees, but the secret is to shape them early in their life. I planted this Bradford pear about 12 years ago, as a 6' B&B tree.
It's now about 30' feet tall, and has withstood ice storms, and 75mph winds. It's never lost a single branch.

Just took this photo late this afternoon. I'm especially fond of it's autumn color.

My gripe with them is they are becoming invasive, like the autumn olive. And the new public enemy #1, bush honeysuckle. It's coming up everywhere.

Ballcut with 3/8" ball end mill. Fairly easy operation actually. Just make sure you don't miss the mark.

Dang .... you're getting some smooth cuts ! Does the orange nozzle above the workpiece blow air, to blow-away the metal chips ?

I'm with you on hating the honeysuckle, and the autumn olive. So far, I've ignored the ones at the cabin, but if I keep it much longer I'm going after it with a vengeance.

I think that @gmcttr has a super weedwacker with a carbide blade. Something like that is my speed, although I'm sure that you have a monster machine to bury them !

No deer seen this evening, doesn't sound like Jagee is seeing many either.

This is the first day that I haven't seen a deer at all. I talked to a buddy of mine that hunts where the deer are really thick and he never saw a deer today either.

After @Born2vette shamed me on the maintenance of my BIG deck, I broke my own promise and purchased a new tool !
I'm going to use this impact driver (my first) to make repairs. I've actually wanted one for quite a while.

I love it when the Amazon man brings something for me !

I have a DeWalt impact driver as well. Don’t how I managed without one.

I'm excited to put it through some projects. My wife and I recently switched some beds around, and I need to make a headboard for the new one we started using.

Make sure you add extra padding.

Yes. I can also run a coolant mist with that same nozzle. I have the coolant, I've just never needed it.

Very cool to have dual usage !

3 mornings in the woods. 0 deer seen. Heard the most shots yesterday. Only 1 or 2 this morning.

Not much on camera either.

Seen very little myself this year, and have been out several times. Cameras show promise, Dad tagged a 9pt opening morning.

Once more into the fray this morning. Good luck Jag!

Morning all...

@T-DOGG you mentioned getting the slide re-cerakoted when you're done with this round of mods. Does the original cerakote need to be removed first?

Good question and the answer is yes. Allen will have to sandblast the existing finish off before applying cerakote.

I knew I had seen one somewhere recently for a bit less. Thanks for posting as I was searching my email, etc trying to find it again... But no, I'm not buying it.
