Falling pics 11/25/09

[Greystoke]

Some Pine, nothing too killer, but decent wood.

Another nice stick. A tad limby though. Not too bad.

Self portrait, LOL.

You can't see it (blurry right there, not sure why), but I took a page out of Cody's play book. I made a sweet, smaller saw patch out of old calk boot leather. The part from around the calf, pre-folded. Used some dense, thin carpet and epoxy. Worked slick! Thanks Cody.

Glad you like the saw patch! You keep posting these pics and it is makin me jealous! You should have seen the pathetic pine trees that I cut down yesterday...only took a few minutes, then spent most of the day piling brush and firewood...so unglorious

We're gonna cut logs together someday. I have that feeling. When the time is right. I look forward to it.

Glad your picking up a little work. Hope spring comes your way soon. That and April 15th always seems to kick up biz for my buddy with a tree service. He says a lot of folks wait to have work done until they know how much they owe (the ones that don't call back, LOL) or get back.

All good, prolly as good as it gets. You still cuttin' a little bit Mang?
How's the back treating you?
Hope to see you at the GTG, I am 100% going to make it this year!

I haven't been in wood for some time mang... back is doin' okay. I got bigger fish to fry.

I had a scare recently that prompted my "friends" thread. Docs thought I had rectal cancer. I was shocked... yet pissed at the same time. I had a battery of tests, and more MRI's and was finally diagnosed with a benign cyst. Still has to come out... but it ain't cancer.

Anyhoo... it's been a long 3 months... but, I'm gettin' back in to it. I almost unloaded ALL of my saws. I only sold the junkers. I still have the big hogs. Someday I'll get back in the wood... but for now, I'm on the sidelines.

Didn't mean to mess up your thread with my personal BS. I don't usually share this kind of stuff. But a lot of cats have been askin' where I've been...

Well... here I am...

I'm gonna try to make the GTG... when and where is it?

Your always welcome to come on in and tramp around how ever you please. Timber fallers are allowed to do that

I heard maybe at Booker's place, but he hasn't been around for a while. I'm not sure if he's feeling well or not. I heard of a few other possible locations in Oregon. I think the first week of May is when people are talking.

That would be great my friend; I look forward to it too Work is starting to pick up for me, so that is good. I won a free radio ad that will be running all day Monday, so I am sure that will help too.

We've got Merriam's, Rio's, and Easterns here in Washington State. You can get a Washington Slam in one year, since you can harvest 3 birds in a season.

Lot of travelling though... as the WDFW has dispersed the birds in the far corners of the state.

Gary

Boy, that's a relief...

I'm glad things turned out ok. Once you're up and running again I'll expect that things around your place will be hoppin'...

 

[GASoline71]

Yep... that they will Jacob. I am mainly hangin' here in the loggin' forum... just too many new guys in the saw forum with the same 3 friggin' question.

If I need anything about saws... I know who my go to guys are.
