So today I wanted to take out the flatbottom after finishing the trailer fianally.. Shoulda known better! The guy before me ran dry headers on the Howard for awhile and melted the wire loom, but the wires inside looked fine. Im guessing that wasnt the case. I ran for about 30 minutes in a circle near the truck incase of a break down since this is the first trip this season.. she was cuttin out a bit at the top end, my guess is workin all the old gas out of her. My good ol mom came up to watch me and laugh as I froze my ass off just in time to take some pictures for me! So very nice! Ill get some good pictures of the wires Im talkin about when I get the logs off. By the way.. Dont go to Bass Lake just quite yet! Water feels like ICE right now. Might have somthing to do with the snow drifts in certain places? 

Heres everything going good..

And when the fire started! Couldnt see flames from the dock, but theres white smoke if you look close!


And once again.. Ol Betsy is there to bring me in!
