i was out with an old logger one day. this guy has been logging for 40+ years,has owned saw mills in the past but now does small tracts of timber, nothing to involved. he has all the top of the line equipment. the forty years of logging have taken there toll on him, he walks with a noticable limp, you can hardly understand a word he says because of a small stroke he suffered a few years back. hes missing a few teeth and most of the time has a three day old shave on. anyway, he goes to bore into this old red oak, sinks a 28in bar in about 1/2 the way in and out shoots a solid streem of water like a garden hose covering his waist and knees. he lets go of the running saw hanging half way out of the tree looks back at me with a half smile and says out of the side of his mouth, in his old grumbly voice," its peein on me". he turns back grabs the saw and continues his bore cut with water shooting all down the front of his pants. i dont think i will ever forget that.
