The boy has a pretty good grip on that feeder. I really like the color on the feet. Your camera must have picked up on that somewhat. It's interesting how people find something unique with each image.

Just put a new feeder up so I could try to get a better cardinal shot. The finches sure like it. They like the oil seeds better than the finch food! smile It's fun to watch them eat a seed with the binos.

I actually was surprised that they were eating the finch food at all. I've been using a 50 pound bag someone gave me out in the squirrel feeder (an old hauling sled) in the back of the yard. It has helped to keep the squirrels and grackels at bay. And the white throateds seem to like it, too. My goldfinches like the black sunnies and a thistle and sunflower chip combination. You are having fun with this, aren't you? That's great!

Yes I am having fun. smile I worked at a birdseed plant when I was in my early 20's back a lifetime ago. Been feeding birds all my life. I remember one time I took a 5 gallon bucket full of millet and made a big peace sign in the parking lot next to where we dumped the grain to be augered to the packaging plant. Probably about20 feet across. It only took about 15 minutes and it was covered with sparrows. Looked cool! Wish I would have had a camera back then. :>)

The plant closed down about 10 years ago and they do something else there now. It's 200 miles from here. Maybe I could do it in a Burger King parking lot with french fries and get a seagul peace sign. heehee

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
