Bed Alders

[slowp]

I've been very frustrated at work. Won't go into it here. After Day 4 of dealing with the problem, I got back and it was a nice afternoon. So I took out my frustrations at the moneypit. I keep finding more wonderful things out there as I cut away the brush. Here's some alders that grew through a metal headboard. I didn't take a before picture, but here's shortly after.

I got this guy to help. He drug a medium sized piece across to the burn pile.

I went home in a better mood, having done something productive. I've found more treasures in the brush, tires, another washing machine, and a pressure tank. Oh joy!

Sounds the piece I just got on my parents farm that I'm working on. Always something new to find. Usually its hard and will throw a volley of sparks when the chain hits it.

My used Cat parts inventory sort yard, and my Comm. fishing used stuff strorage area has similar. I think scrap iron stimulates Red Alder growth rates.

Dog looks happy...he's just glad to be there with you.

Don't go postal at work. I can barely imagine the frustration you must deal with. Have you ever expressed your anger with a 'rigging fit'? When I was younger and a volatile young man, I took pride in my quality rigging fits.

A good rigging fit should start out by throwing your hard hat down and stomping it. I liked to spin around on one foot screaming obsenties and refering to the boss's heritage and family lineage at the top of my voice while kicking and arm waving. You can develope your own style.

A good rigging fit is a beautiful thing.

I don't do riggin' fits. I GRADE them. Most fail to get a high score because no hat is thrown or kicked or sailed. I saw one that could have blown away all the competition last fall. The owner/operator was jumping up and down, he'd been doing something to one of the yarder drums so was up on the flat part, and screaming at the yarder engineer to either use the brake or release the brake. The dialogue was unoriginal though. Nothing was thrown. So no high grades for that. I wait a day to tell the fittee of the grade he got..

Plan A for today is a long hike up to check the logged helicopter units. That was the plan for yesterday too, and it didn't happen. So, I better go slap together a packable lunch and get going.

Your day sounds more secure than mine. I'm postponing going to work because of testicular problems. I'm shovel logging on the steepest ground God ever made. I think the ground slope is an inverse curve, and all the logs are at the bottom. Yesterday I had testicular failure and managed to push my way back up the slope to the landing where I hyperventilated and allowd my heart rate to slow to 155 bpm.

Today, greed may overcome fear, there's three loads of prime doug fir logs piled up at the very bottom. All I have to do is drop off a vertical 12' cut bank at the bottom of the bearver slide and the prize is mine!!

Hope I don't endo.

My friend you need a camera. You have great communication skills that could only be enhanced by the addition of pics to your dialog. Please!

It was Plan B today. The batphone message light was on and there was right
of way to mark. I got stung by a bee while brushing another bee off, I stepped in a nest but they were slow and so was I. I did a brisk trot with unoriginal :censored: :censored: :censored: exclamations. I try not to cuss while in the company of others, but a bee sting is a different matter. I then drove for about an hour to another logging job and the logger there was insisting that I must use his epi pen because the pen was about to expire and he didn't want to waste it. I managed to avoid that scenario.

If I may,cussing is GOOD,RELEASE the cuss.
Repeat after me"I love to cuss,when appropriate."
To cuss is like letting go,go ahead and try this little test,take off yer corks when you get home.Go to the corner of your house outside(in the rain is even better!),kick aforementioned corner with sock covered bare foot.Feel the pain,swallow the urge to scream.Now try it again,this time screaming wonderfull cuss words,now isnt that better?
Follow up with ibuprofin washed down with libations.
Perhaps this is a bit drastic,but these are drastic times.....

Best to look behind you first to see if the foreman, superintendent or owner is standing behind you. I had that happen to me in my younger years.

After a while I decided that riggin' fits were usually a coverup for ignorance. Stopped doing them, stay calm and think through the problem at hand. More productive and saves on hats.

I just hate it when I ruin a good hat. Darn things aren’t cheap.

I quit going to meetings unless told I have to go. Timber planning meetings are the place I most feel like throwing a fit. I've been tempted to jump up on the table and scream and yell about specialists ignoring our input. Etc. etc.
But I'd get sent to "special" training, maybe made to go into another line of work, or whisked away to another location. Avoiding the situation is the best way. Luckily, for last weeks big do, I had a crisis to take care of in the woods. I miss getting cookies and goodies, but I really shouldn't eat those anyway.

When we have meetings they always get pizza for us. See...I keep telling you the private sector is better than working for the Fed. I think they might be spiking the pizzas with tranqs, though. Half way through the meetings everybody starts to fall asleep. Couldn't be because we're hearing the same old stuff for the ninety-seventh time, could it?

 

[slowp]

I guess. We are asked to bring goodies to appease those who are doing us a big favor by driving to our little community which can't have anymore restaurants or businesses due to a lack of a sewer system. Not even a bakery! It is quite an inconvenience to come here. It is a fact that pizza contains ingrediants that make sleep occur. I read where the late Sonny Bono knew that and served up pizza if a meeting was running too long. People got sleepy and then were ready to go home and end the meeting.

 

[Bushler]

I can help. I organized the boys to rush the stage and punch all the NMFS dignitaries during a meeting in SF. It was a solid plan...pound them senseless to the floor in front of the t.v. cameras and get it on Fox!

My plan was ultimately rejected, but I'm sure it would work.

 

[Backwoods]

You got to be careful in those meetings!!! Before long, you will be having meetings to decide when you will have a meeting to decide when to have a meeting about having too many meetings. When it takes a pallet of paper to run a sawmill for a month it is time to rethink the meeting thing and start just doing something, even if it is wrong.

Plan A Completed Today.

I "did lunch" here. Translation: gulped down smashed sandwich quickly before getting too chilled. This is near the top of the big helicopter unit. They had to have a clearing to use in case somebody got hurt. I heard there was a chocolate stash somewhere but they probably hauled that out with the gear that was up here.
