This is the Casselman River Bridge (aka Little Crossings Bridge) on the National Road in Grantsville, MD. The National Road was the first national road and this is one of the first hiway bridges in the country. The first ones would be east, the direction the road was built from. The National Road provided a route west over the mountains to connect Baltimore with the Mississippi River in 1813, long before the automobile. It became US40 once the Federal Hiway system organized. So, this was a bridge on coast to coast US 40 through '33. I remember when I was a kid it was a park but you were still allowed to drive cars across it. It's a sight to see in person (I didn't take the last picture )

My 69 Firebird in the driveway and my sons 68 Camaro in the garage. Just swapped places. I did some floor and trunk pan replacement on my car. Now I have to do a total resto on his.

They didn't listen to Lowe's. Looks like they stopped improving


Or maybe this was this some kind of field test

Thank you gentlemen. It's been a while since I have had a project of my own. After doing the C10 for my son I decided I wanted something. Right before that though I agreed to do his Camaro so my bird will be a long term project for now.

I'm not out the door so early (much) anymore either. When I do get out at sunrise I get to see what I was missing. I love the mornings. I love the overnight 'conversion' that occurs in the valleys. I'm in it here due to the streams. Up home the get downright fog off the Youghiogheny. I was just up there weekend before last

I used to do siding installation. Maybe this was that call that came in I never returned and they're still waiting

show us some sawdust when you get that thing broke in

dad's old 460 made short work of this fallen limb last summer but it's hefty - better bring your man hands

[72c20customcamper]

ported ,tuned , muffler modded and unlimited coil 7910 Dolmar with 32 inch lightweight bar . Ported tuned and muffler modded 395xp pulls a 48 inch bar on my mill all day long I also have a stock 460 magnum but it needs a rebuild soon so…..


The 500i is a nice saw

[72c20customcamper]

When I bought the 395xp new in 2019 had a 36” bar on it. I put about 12 tanks of gas threw it. Then I ripped into it .

Unfortunately, its a customers. I HAD to take a picture of the biggest saw I have ever had personally in my hand.

Thought you might like to see one

This 1800s house where I'm working was built along a railway. It was a short line that only ran from the ore mines to the furnace, about 13 miles. Long gone without a trace, other than the grade. His long lane back runs along the grade that's grown over. Where you curve to go around the house, if you look straight back into the woods you see the long straight cut. I can't describe, but it feel very different back in there. I guess you can sense the history

I used a 3120xp for a couple of days . Dealer (a good friend) let me use his when I was deciding between it and the 395xp . The 3120 is 119 cc’s lots of power but it’s heavy . The 395 is 94cc’s but it more manageable . Looked at the 880 Stihl but the dealer wouldn’t budge on the price . Don’t think they can discount their saws has to be a corporate sale price . They even go after people selling new ones on eBay .

very cool.it's very similiar here.an old coal mine town with mines and railway tracks everywhere,leading from the mines to the railyard and a big wharf out into the ocean where they'd load coal aboard sailing ships.the bottom end of our property borders on an old railbed.i know it was there but the tracks are long gone,Mother Nature is taking it all back and growing it all over but the railbed is clearly visible.somedays you can still smell the coal and i find coal in the woods where it spilled out of the rail cars.i go along that railbed mowing grass and sometimes just sit there and think about years ago,you can feel it.very cool.

So you know what I mean. I learned no so long ago that coal and iron was a big part of Nova Scotia history.

How about this place I know nothing about. The soil and rock are red in this area which is where Francis Scott Key's estate , Terra Ruba, is located The house is the same stonework. This building is a corn crib. Just the ends are stone. The rest is framed with vertical wood slats.
