Today....

That little Cat looks like fun! I’ve never sailed one of those, they look quick though.
first time out on it, got it for my mom. Super quick little boat and easy to sail. Used to sail them every now and then as a kid.
I'm thinking that if your German Shorthair sees that beast you're injecting trees with... he's going to jump ship and disappear over the horizon.

he’s a drahthaar! His longer wirey hair is still filling in. Surprisingly does great at the vet. He loves people.
 
Interesting craigslist find, anyone ever had the misfortune of running one of these beasts?

Stump Grinder - Alpine Magnum Stihl - $1,500​

This is an older used machine with a Stihl powerhead. It was used a lot in the mid 2000s but has barely been touched in the past 2 years other than starting and running the engine periodically to keep it in shape. I have run Motomix in it the last couple of times and it is stored with Motomix in it. It has sat around in storage for long enough that the housing for the drive belt needs to be taken off and the interior cleaned. The belt gets jammed up in what is likely a mouse nest in there. It's not pretty but the engine is fine and the drive belt & cogs need attention as described. All information about the specs for the powerhead is shown in the photos.

There’s been a couple people on here discuss those, I believe there may be a couple owners around here I just don’t remember who.

I have encountered a few stumps over the years where one of those would come in handy, but I didn’t have access to one. Saw one operating around here once too, but I didn’t catch who it belonged to.
 
They are made in Olympia.

Niche machine for no-access.

Vibes, man, vibes, coolio! Get some Hulk anti-vibe gloves if you get one.

If you can skip stumps, your better if climbing, imo.
 
Many fun outings on a Hobie 14 and Hobie 16. I taught my wife (the mild-manned librarian) how to sail the 16 well enough to take it out solo. We were pretty good on our matching Windsurfers, too. Swapping boards while sailing along side-by-side was our coolest stunt.
At various times I had a Hobie 14, 16, 18 and 20. Loved 'em all. The coolest windsurfing stunt I've ever seen was done by 2 brothers. They got 2 boards sailing dead downwind on opposite tacks right next to each other. One guy got both booms, the other guy went in front of the masts and did a handstand with one hand on each board and one foot touching each mast. Rode that way for about 200 yards!
