Hey Big Nasty, I use the stihl oil in all my 2 stoke stuff. try to get non ethanol fuel or pour in an additive. I moved west! Today was the first chance to ride...View attachment 88795
Went for a ride today, took some feed up to the fish camp and did some scouting for game. Some big Elk and Mule deer in the area, UNTIL OPENING DAY OF COURSE!! Had the mules loaded with hay, Bob a mule with a ugly side to his personality decided he didn't want to cross the river where the other ones had done it. He stopped, snapped the break away lead, and stood on the side of the river braying up a storm. Went back and hooked to his lead and about half way across he goes belly up, all 4 legs pointing skyward :-laf
Let go the rope about 10 yards down stream he finally come up for air, Pulled the top knot to release the load and back under he went only without a load this time, 20 yards he get his legs under him and he's on the right side of the river, Looking as if to say WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED??? :-laf
Went and got the wet hay, manties and ropes. put it back on the sawbuck NOW ITS TWICE AS HEAVY AS IT WAS!! he didn't seem to have a problem the rest of the day with his attitude :-laf
Perfect day to go for a ride!!! until I went swimming for the equipment and hay water was COLD!!
