He's getting pretty good with the RTV900. B-) 204 views Jul 15, 2013

329 views Jul 14, 2013 I'm lucky he stopped when he did, I forgot about the bale leaning against the cab. (The would have dropped onto the engine, not a huge deal, but kind of a mess to clean up if it happens.

When you don’t have a working lane line, and cell phones don’t have service, it’s fine to improvise.

I honestly bought it for one job, and figured if I had it the following year, that was just a win. Well, still winning…..

Pinto was being used to guard sheep, the problem was, he hated sheep. Mary was his hoof trimmer, and jumped at the chance when he was offered to her. She asked me if we could "foster" him for a little while..... Just found this footage and figured I should archive it before I lost it for good. I finally got around to editing it. There was about two hours of footage to go through as we basically just kept the camera running. When the camera goes wild in the trailer, thats because I'm not only shooting, I'm on the other end of the blue rope....

Not bad for a six year old, he listens well to the safety briefings and pays attention when Gramp says thing like; "If you get your foot between this, and this area here, it will chop it off like a pair of scissors." Dan; "Ok, Got it Grampa!" This was my first video deleted directly by YouTube. No chance to down load it, or remove it on my own, simply deleted with out warning. The warning came after the video was removed. My original purpose for using YouTube in the first place was as an archival space. Not very good for archiving if the rules change under your feet. A week later, I get one of those "how safe do you feel on YouTube" surveys. Yea..

I had no idea that I even had this footage until I was going through an old hard rive I had and found it. This is the edited video that does not include this footage. https://youtu.be/l-1yscigqh4

A three toed sloth crossing the road in my housing area on Ft. Clayton in Panama 1985. 3.5k views before I pulled it from YouTube.

The Kawasaki needed to be towed back to the garage, so Daniel backed the RTV up to it, and towed it back. Removed from YouTube with 2,415 views because YouTube only wants gamers and makeup tutorials.

It takes the right crew to get the job done. ;-)

He's still figuring out the basics of range safety, but that why people start with BB guns, and not 22's... B-)

The guys were having fun, Daniel was getting pretty comfortable on the CRF70, while Dad got a little out of the zone... B-)

I skirted the child labor laws by not paying him. B-) We needed to toss the compost pile, and it got dark a little earlier here than we expected. It's a little harder to work at night, but certainly not the death race that Gold Rush Alaska makes it out to be.

Daniel is riding a Z50 and Dan is on our CRF70. Fun bikes, the engine in the 50 is from the 60's, I wonder if the warrantee is still good? B-)

Grammy bailed out on us for a bit, I think she might have been just a tad scared of the hill. She got back in once she saw that Daniel had it under control. B-)

These tires are about the limit of what this old tire machine can handle. (The tire was touching the upright, and to dismount it, we would need to lift the tire off from the machine to get the bead popper under it. and then flip the tire, as the upper popper tower doesn't go that wide.

He's used to machines, so this was old hat for him. Removed from YouTube with 3,649 views. Californians aparently only wan't children playing with FPS games, and not doing anything that might prepare them for an actual future.

The muffler fell off during storage. (it was broken anyhow.) So after ear plugs and a helmet, he was off. The Struck is an interesting back breaker to drive. B-) Removed from YouTube due to the Californians thinking children should never do anything but play FPS games. 2,201 views Apr 5, 2012

He cut out a turtle, and a truck, the metal was really thin, so it was nice stuff to practice on to get a feel for cutting with it.

Not bad for his first time using a clutch! He's shifted before from the right-hand side of the car as we were driving down the road. But this was his first shot at the entire deal from the pilot’s seat.

Unfortunately, my iPhone ran out of space. B-( For the record, he managed to turn it around with nothing more from me than steering assistance. (My power steering is dead.)

Apparently, the fourth tire was it for him. (I can't blame him, we were about done as well. B-)

These Dick Cepek tires are a lot larger than they looked before they were put on the rims.

We borrowed a friends tire changing machine, and changed the tires Dan just bought. On our last trip down the mountain, he spotted a set of 35" Dick Cepek tires
