Not too bad. Just under 100* today. How's it going with you?

I'm contemplating a ride to Sturgis next week.

Extra chains or a sharpener. Cherrywood is about as hard as the Hubs of Hell.
I'm gonna say fruit trees in general had to cut a peach tree once and it dulled my chainsaw.

Thanks for the tips, guys. Didn't realize cherrywood was hard. I am not much of a lumberjack, but since I am the only able bodied male that goes to the cabin I got a chainsaw to cut logs into fireplace size pieces. I know cherry can be used for smoking meat so that is why I am taking this chore on. I will refrain from drinking. Which I am sure y'all already assumed.

Yeah last year for the 75th. As I recall you had family in Hill city. That was an enjoyable little town. My uncle lives in Newcastle so really that's where I'm headed.

The 75th was awesome. I will go back some day but maybe a few days before the rally so I can do more riding, people watch the beginning of the rally then get out before it gets too crazy. I sitll need to get an Iron Mountain shirt since I rode it last year. Never did find a spot that had them

Yup, I do. Actually, Bosslady does. We will be going up in September for sure. I'm trying to talk myself into getting up there on the bike before then, though.
