Installed Kubota Winch. Installed Datsun Alternator. Burned My Hand.

I got a new one ton ATV winch from Harbor Freight for super cheap, and it's going on the tractor as a multi-purpose pulling out stuck stuff tool.  It's not real often that the tractor gets stuck anywhere, but it's happened once or twice and only in the most inconvenient of places so a winch will be worthwhile, I think.  I figure it'll mostly get used for ripping stuff out of the ground and dragging things around though, considering the little orange monster does a fair bit of that anyways, this'll just give me another means to that end.

Mockup of where stuff is gonna go, more or less.

More stuff after jump break

I found a pseudoscorpion.

Ray Harryhausen giant clawed land crab beast.

This monster was in my garage stalking a scrap of newspaper.  I had no idea what it was so I trapped it, took pictures, and ran to wikipedia.  Turns out it's a pseudoscorpion, and pseudoscorpions live in Oregon, just people don't usually see them.

Not really giant at all.  At least it's not a tick.

Weird Pointy Spider

I've never seen a spider like this here before, this year has been sort of an odd one for new and different creepy crawlies.  There is also an influx of snails that wasn't around the PNW when I was a kid.
