Falling pics 11/25/09

[slowp]

Sounds like you got our storm. It is not as breezy today but has been snowing at 1500 feet and sticking above that.

Its been windy here since last Wednesday.

Randy, I think I found where those ####ers are hiding!

Givin this ole wihite oak one last thrill.

Hammer- My garbled crap last week about matching my cuts made little sense. Here it is in pic form. Just a little kicker dutch, but I do the same for the full dutch. I make my way around the back from my side to the far side. If my cuts are not lined up when I get there either my gunning cut is messed up (nothing to be done there) or I adjust my backcut and proceed back to my (good) side. My cuts have been looking more and more like this, with less effort, which I am damn excited about. I think if the back cut is misaligned by a kerf's distance that thin plate that has to break slows things down somewhat.

Alright, I gotta go sharpen chains before I fall asleep. No rest for the wicked.

Kind of a tough week. Lots of time going broke sitting in a motel room. Only burned a tank on Monday before we got winded out. Rigging rats even left early. Not good, we're desperate to wrap this job up. Too damn high, too late in the year.

The boys plowed the spur out for us this morning. Little snow on the yarders. Playing the truck shuffling game. Another yarder a ways behind that one. We got to go for a nature hike to the strip.

Great pictures Sam! Although, one of my least favorite seasons to log in. Well, that and when it's 95° out and the dust is waist deep.

Nice, looks like east of the mountains, when the wind stops blowin the antelope fall over :hmm3grin2orange:

oh, hey, do you have to have a red truck to work there? :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[wowzers]

You aint kidding about the wind. Cutting guy backs was terrible. At least when we went high banking it calmed down.

 

[Gologit]

oh, hey, do you have to have a red truck to work there? :hmm3grin2orange:

I was going to ask that, too. My mini-crummy is gray...I better stay in California. :smile2:

When the wind stops blowing, the fallers fall over......The excaline crew has a blueferd. But yeah, the only 2 yarder crews with red rigs are stuck over there in Bozo. I just wanted to make sure my truck matched my Suby - Sam

 

[bitzer]

Nice pics Sam! Our snow is gone already. Its been pretty snappy in the mornings here though. With the wind blowin it really gives you that sharp as a tack feeling.

 

[hammerlogging]

Sam, i think I've got a problem with that view. I think you've got a real problem with that view. Hang in there.

The browning lean, thats funny.

####, I believe its time for some strong drink. Too bad there wasn't a tavern we could all meet at and just shoot the #### for a good while.

We should meet up in Nevada some day.

Raise a glass boys and girls, officially sawed out the Bozo job this morning. Wind blew like a ####er right to the bitter end.

Hope you all get a little time to rest up over the holiday - Sam

Glad you're getting that warm wind too, kind of brutal here in the canyon this past weekend. Saw is still on CL......Must not be any fallers left to buy the damn thing!
