I hit the Telluride Bluegrass (and Jazz) festivals a couple times. Came over Ophir Pass to Telluride once in an 80's Blazer- this is like 1886, mind you- that was stalling at the altitude... Ophir is, or was, a seriously fearsome road and not a place to have your rig stalling. My buddy had to STAND on the power brakes when it would stall so we didn't roll backwards. Then get it started. Then get it going forward/up again without stalling. Manual tranny. Good times. My younger bro in the back seat and I had a bailout plan. Hand on the door handle kinda stuff.

Harry- our woods are roughly 50/50 conifers and deciduous including a lot of ash in the wettest areas. The ash here are a medium-density hardwood, but split very easily, so when a good-size ash goes down the trunks tend to fracture and split. If yours are anything like ours that sounds like a big mess! Should rot pretty quickly at least.

Dunno what's happened out in the woods proper, other than "loud things", haha.... we lost a big Gravenstien apple up near the house and our closest neighbor lost a really big white oak. That actually sucks worse than the apple. We didn't really eat the apples much from that tree anyway but the big Oak was part of the screen between us and the neighbor. Now I can see their roof. Me no likey.

Exercise- about an hour with a chain saw clearing my drive so I could get my truck up to the road.

1886? Forget to hook the horse to it? Might be why it stalled?

Man workout was a bruiser today, I broke my nunchucks out and ph ucked some chit up..

You kids don't even KNOW how hard we had it.

In those days phones came with a cord so you'd never ever lose them. True fact.

Also, women in Levi 501's (cutoffs especially) falling out of fashion is a tragedy that no modern young man even knows about. History just........... forgot. Sad.

Basketball tonight with youngest.

my kids still don't believe me that I had to walk 3 miles to school- uphill both ways

Mmmm... yoga pants. Well played, sir!

I like some Blue Grass and there is only so much mandolin I can handle. I had to look them up and play some of their tunes. They are definitely good.

I just knew I was going to pay for shooting hoops with my boy. Fooling around and took a tumble, rolled, and end up on my feet. Boy was impressed at Dad's spryness. Dad was on the heating pad afterward. Oh well, if you're going to be dumb you gotta be tough.

Their mandolin player left a few years ago.
