My NEW WAGON & the Hemlock Tree // Horse Drawn Rides

[@marionberry6909]

The horses standing while you were trimming limbs were funny to watch. Boys will be boys while Dad isn’t watching, they straighted right up when you finished trimming and walked to the front. LOL 😂👍❤️🐎

[@PeterDowd-r9b]

Jim , the wagon box turned out great. The hemlock lumber should last a long while. Your neighbor who passed away would be pleased to be taken to his final resting place in Jim Gordon's new wagon.

[@petermartinez5573]

Sorry about your friend and neighbor Jim and Brenda. My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

[@territn8871]

How very kind you and the horses were able to carry your neighbor who passed away to his final resting place. On a lighter note, Earl and Barron were cracking me up pestering each other! Typical of a little brother acting out with his big brother!🤣😁😂 I know that behavior is not how you want them to act, but it was so funny how they straightened right up when dad was watching them! Typical little brothers!😘 Glad you have the sleigh ride wagon ready for business this season!!! Know what would be pretty, add some little battery operated lights and pine garland one each side!!!! Those branches you cut off the hemlock would be perfect (and easy) to make the garland!! Attach some red bows and you have a festive wagon for sleigh rides!!!!! I've bought battery operated Christmas lights anywhere regular Christmas lights are sold.

[@Nia45838]

The boys were being boys. So cute. I wonder if Jim and his brother ever pestered each other when their parents were busy😊. I am sorry for your loss. It sounds like you had a good neighbor.

[@johnmarlow2887]

Brotherly love between Baron and Earl.

[@marionevans8687]

The boys had some fun when you were in the back with the tree but they heard you coming they straightened right up. Nice send off for your neighbor and he would be happy knowing that you did that.

[@christinescholz7675]

I love your Videos so much! Bevore I getting old, I was an Endurence Rider and know nothing about Coldblood Horses. I learned so much from you and your Horses. To love Horses never end, only when you die. Whish you Jim, Brenda and your Family all the Best! ❤

[@deannaharrell6803]

Wonderful video. Loved see the horses playing behind your back. 😂😂

[@trudynolan1543]

Sorry to hear of the passing of your neighbour our thoughts and prayers r with everyone 😢

[@annsaenz291]

Jim, thank you for the laughs at the beginning where the horse's, Baron and Earl were acting up with each other but stopped like we were good boys Dad..🤭😄 God bless those horse's 🙏 So sorry for your loss of a good friend and neighbor Jim and Brenda. To be honored Jim to carry him to his resting place is a testimony to the love of friends. God bless you Jim and Brenda 🙏❤️❤️ Love how Skippy came to great you as he as matured into a wonderful dog ❤️🐕🐾🐾

[@raphaelvowles]

Thank you again. Great video. I just LOVE to see the horses trotting in unison. The almost musical sounds of their hooves. See 24:51 of the ride home.

[@clarenceburton9654]

Lol 😆 , those horses had to much energy and were being playful !! Thanks for sharing !!

[@loriswain8140]

What a wonderful way to honor your friend and neighbor.

[@Brauelle]

Baron and Earl looking good today. Baron looks like he is ready to get to pulling stomping his front hoof. At 6:10 in the video, Baron almost looks like he is wanting to go faster even pulling the log. Baron has turned into such a good puller. Earl was being mischievous, and nibbling at Baron, but I see Baron was doing some nibbling of his own. Brothers will be brothers! Question, What makes them want to bite at the front hitch? Sorry for your loss and for your farming community. Thoughts and prayers for all. Thanks to Jim and Brenda for being there when a family is in need. You folks are such a blessing!

[@grammajean1327]

Just like a couple of little boys always up to mischief. lol I can't tell who these miscreants are. Which of the brothers has the red tail? The boys have come a long way since you brought them home. How satisfying they are to watch.

[@deb283028]

Earl has more red in his tail. Baron’s has more blonde.

[@cindycarlson7881]

Earl is the instigater! 😂

Good job on the wagon. Nice of you to give your friend his last ride!

[@sueupham2519]

sorry for the loss of your neighbor... we guessed hemlock.. what a blessing to have it on your own land .who would of thought it would be a wagon after all these years...nice job..

[@henrydeyoung7689]

Really fun to see a tree turn into a wagon bed. Really nice job on that wagon,Jim. Just a friendly suggestion. I’m 81 years old and in great health, but my doctor said to try to avoid a fall at all cost. He said after 80 you don’t heal up as fast. He said the use a handrail whenever you go up or down a step, you will decrease the chances of falling by up to 80%. It took me six months to get in the habit of always using a handrail. For the steps on the back of your wagon, maybe you could put a pole or maybe even two on each side of the steps that can be set in and pulled out as people got off and on the wagon. You don’t need a railing, just a pole or two to hang on to. You said the first step was kind of high. Just a little stepstool will solve that problem. You could find a place to hook it on your wagon and carry it along. None of this is necessary with young people, but I know many elderly people, including myself would love a sleigh ride.

[@fion1flatout]

Baron and Earl look great together.. Baron is so enthusiastic and Earl is just solid

[@wendyballett7957]

Awesome wagon!!! The play amongst the boys while they were standing 'still' was enjoyable to watch. Glad it was only play and didn't go too far.

[@patricia.g1651]

I said, "Careful step, Jim" when you pushed the wagon into the barn. Good job! ;)

[@paulhuffey2015]

Great camera angle showing the horses messing with each other. Reality shots greatly appreciated!

[@bookooc5605]

Condolences for your loss Jim.

[@patrickodonogue8823]

The first use of your rebuilt wagon as a caisson is memorable. Well done helping your deceased neighbor’s family during their time of mourning and celebration.

[@WendyJorgensen663]

Boys will be Boys I'd get bord just standing in one place for while too, 🤪wagon looks great, my thoughts & Prayers are with the family it Passed.

[@arlysdavis3694]

It was so funny to watch the horses harass each other, typical brothers 😊 . Sorry about your neighbor. What a honor to take him to his resting place. I do Hope there will be plenty of fun rides that you will be giving if the snows don’t come. Thank you for the video. Ok, the math on that log would have taken me forever to figure out.

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

Nice to see you got all out of that tree you wanted , all most!. baring the sideboards. nice job building it looks great Jim. and it was nice to know you're neighbor who passed got his last wish I'm sure. to go to his place in the Here After, in the way he wanted to go. An old School but proper way to go . Thanks for sharing that outcome. I"m sure his family appreciated you for that. thanks again and God speed. ECF.

[@b.m.bradley7525]

Nice Wagon Jim old boy ❤

[@zarahunt771]

What a truly beautiful sunny day with a gentle dusting of snow , it all looks so idyllic. Your boys made me smile, 😊 boys will be boys after all. Im sorry you lost your friend and neighbour, its always a sad time when someone passes, particularly when you have known them. I hope your weekend is good for you and Brenda.

[@ericvogel1126]

I'm so impressed at how well Barron and Duke were working together in what appeared to be perfectly synched.

[@jeanhawken4482]

Very special to be asked by a friend to assist in taking care of them for the last time. How he valued your friendship.

Watching this with my kids… I told them that the horses remind me of them, always messing around with each other.

My mother loves this show. It reminds of her dad who retired from farming in 1954, he only ever worked with horses.

This was a very appealing video except for the loss of your friend.My condolences

Very nice wagon Jim! Great accomplishment!

[@jamess.nabozny8571]

I certainly like your sawmill. What a wonderful tool to have. Your my favorite video folks, you and Brenda, and the horses. Keep it up, love all of it.😊❤

[@dianestoltz8502]

Great video !

[@johnkomosa9508]

Boy I sure love those big hemlock, when I was little, my older brother came back to the house and told me they were getting Hemlock an axe handle and a half , almost 2 axe handles across the stump as logs were harvested down in the big swamp for the new addition onto the barn. That's some big Hemlock, the big logs would stall the big circular saw blade when a tooth would hit a hard knot and stop! and the big D8 would blow black smoke, the blade had to be leveraged back and restart the cut. I miss those days and that old mill sometimes.. Nice job on the wagon Jim , looks good and multifunctional, good idea. The comment about your Dear neighbor friend being layed to rest, lays ground for mentioning my brother'nlaws untimely passing, as he had complications in Surgery. I worked out (and hikes) with him every time I went to Wisconsin, he was in great shape, they suspect a blood clot. He was like my best friend so this Alaskan Winter will be a little colder than normal but we'll see it through. Please say a prayer for him, and I for your friend. Smooth sailing, and peaceful rest. The place to lay him down is up on a hill and the rear wheel drive could not make it, sure could have used Ken and Bill on that steep hill to the final resting place by his folks. Gone too soon. Back to w.h.w.J. Thank you. I like to listen to your sawmill engine talk, those carbs have small air flow passages and a little sawdust can cause havock, air filtration important in a dusty environment. Nice Work... (I am glad I took the time to spend it with him and my sister, you might remember my Sister checked on flights for me.) Quality time with the ones We Love, so important. Merry Christmas coming up. All My Love. Words...just get in the way. 😊

The geldings' goofiness will wear off as they aged out of their playfulness. Good solid wagon you got there and glad your neighbor had his last ride on the new wagon. I am sure you will add funeral wagon as your next service you would offer for your business! I am hoping you will get some snow for the snow sleigh rides! I prefer hay or straw bales to set on, much warmer and more comfortable!

Baron and Earl were goofing around like young teenage boys. But they didn’t move the log apparently while you were limbing up. Yes, they will learn in time.

[@malcolmthomas9953]

Great video Jim keep up the good work , yes those 2 horse 🐎 need more work then they may not have so much energy too play around , tralior looks good well done , yes good too help people out Jim with the coffin taking the gentlemen too his resting place cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 😊

[@rolfberg8636]

Good filed saw chain. The saw cuts easily as if it were hot butter.

[@gentlegiants1974]

You could make a driver's seat, just a 2 x 12 with cleats on the underside to hold it in place set crosswise on those sideracks. I'm getting to be an old man in my thinking... I'd also put a footrail up there to brace against in case of anything going wrong. Wagon looks great otherwise!

[@ResistanceChicks777-fw4mb]

PG here Great height in the first shot (opening clip!) Showing the pine tree coming down. It could be a cedar tree, but ours does not get that tall around here. We have taken down over 50 trees and bushes. 2007-2013 clearing overrun yard. Women around 23, 25, 47 years old. It isn't something we do every day. But it is always an adrenaline rush when a tall tree comes down. I wrote a blog about a dream I had with the word ***Hemlock*** in it. I did some research. The tree smells like the poisonous plant. That is how it got it's name. But it isn't poisonous like the plant. Wokepedia: Tsuga from Japanese, the name of Tsuga sieboldii) is a genus of conifers in the subfamily Abietoideae of Pinaceae, the pine family. The English-language common name "hemlock" arose from a perceived similarity in the smell of its crushed foliage to that of the unrelated plant hemlock. Unlike the latter, Tsuga species are not poisonous. 30 minutes later: PG here, I actually used the word hemlock in 3 blogs, then read them out loud on video last February. Right then, I was in and out of the hospital twice and almost died. I think God was telling me I was poisoned??? I think it's meaning was for the CIA's operation Hemlock, as in writing with poisonous ink. I am much healthier than I was then, thanks to God rescueing me with his love and spirit. I never miss a video. Thank you!

[@BobBauguess]

That would be poison hemlock, that is a weed that sprouts and grows is the spring, they are normally about four ft. tall.

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

Even with the butt end off, that's still a very sizable trunk of a tree.

[@janicehoff]

What a beautiful hemlock. Most around here (NC) have been victim of wooly adelgids. Great video. Thanks. Hope your leg is better Brenda. Blessed Christmas to you and yours including the 4 legged ones❣

Love the wagon ...great job ...

[@noreencullen8957]

What a lovely send off for your neighbor! Baron & Earl had enough of standing around. Glad they could have some fun, glad they didn't get into too much horse trouble! Why did you chose Hemlock? Does the bugger that eats hemlock bother your others? That was a very large straight tree!

My dear Jim, I hate asking you this question, but 'cause I CARE - "When do you ever clean out your sawmill area !! As you know, there is SAWDUST, EVERYWHERE !! I hope you NEVER have a fire start with all that sawdust !! Like Mike Morgan on "Outdoors with the Morgans" does, he uses his portable blower on his equipment after EACH use to keep his equipment in tip-top shape and dust-free !! Please accept this comment in the Christian love it is intended !! 🙏✝️🇺🇸❤️😊

[@PeterDowd-r9b]

Jim uses the sawdust for horse bedding

[@kingwood4357]

I assume that due to the thickness of the green lumber used for the wagon there is no issue with cracking and warping when it dries.

[@russlong7175]

At 13:00 to to the person who commented a few videos ago that jim was getting old, some people half his age wouldn't keep up with him. Do you know how heavy that wagon is
