Just Milling About at the Cabin: Slim's Fixer-Upper Part 28
Returning to the cabin after spending a few months down south, I find there's a LOT of cleanup to do. But my first priority is to salvage some of the downed trees before it's too late. I set up my own milling operation to turn those trees into something useful.

I ended up making a bet that I could get better than 15.1 mpg while towing my trailer, with the proceeds going to charity. After 4 months the bet is over. Who won?

We have been on the road so much the last two years we need to get caught up on things, trim gardens, cut down trees, do some camper and car maintenance, ETC, ETC ETC, so we are staying home most of the summer, no long trips anyway. We had originally a trip to your neck of the woods, hopefully some time.

    On my parents' cottage road, we made a ladder drain at top of a big hill...not sure what the proper name is (cribbing?) but looks like a wooden ladder you walk/drive over and the water drains into it and then flows into the ditches on either side instead of washing out center of road. It has been working great for a number of years. No more wash outs which we used to fix multiple times a year in the past. Once in a while, one of the rungs need replacing but it's an easy fix to swap them out. Gravel and lumber trucks have driven over it without issue and it is a busy road in summer. I'm sure you likely have a solution by now but thought I'd mention it.

I think there was a boost during Covid when people had more time, and now people have less time? Or there are just so many RUclipsrs now, folks get spread thin on the the content they watch. Whatever the case, you are still one of enjoyable channels I watch. I'll be ready in a few weeks to see your new challengers and adventures.
