Hey Bruv, no fishin' today?

Gotcha. Just got confused by what you meant by undercut. Yeah I chicken ####ted a little. I'm a little rusty and didn't want to end up low on the far side. Haven't had much saw work since spring. Thanks!
Burvol cooked the best salmon I ever ate! He treated us to it at the GTG in June.
:agree2: im ready to have springers every year now

That's what's wrong with me, I haven't been in a while. Need to go get back after them (steelhead are in now, they are nice but are not salmon, although B-run fish are coming now and are huge Steelies, many flirting with 20lbs & 40"+ long). A few more weeks and it will be physcotic time again, Chinook season. No rest, fish every moment that my saw is turned off and I ain't driving to or from work/the river...unless I limit early. Lindsey and my Mom are both with me alot. Lindz likes the Saturday afternoon evening hunch, while my Mom does the all-dayer with me every dang Sunday until atleast November.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad I was able to pull it off...catch two chromers the day before! Simply perfect timing. Got one of them at 4:45 right before light and the second at 7 AM. To consume fresh Springer is unbelievable, rediculous. I believe it gives Halibut a good kick in the gut, people who are sketchy of salmon become believers with Spring Chinook. I always cook the first few I catch with in the hour or two of being clubbed!

Yup, it's no fishing or constipation, you would know better
Don't be going psyco, you are just about the only one left that knows the language.

Yesterday, while being the tool biatch and working the traffic flaggers, I was told a few falling tidbits.
A pre story, the faller I was working with had tried to volunteer his work, but was told he had to take the falling test if he wanted to be a volunteer. So, while cars were going by, I started telling him the Forest Service requirements.
He pulled a pair of safety glasses out of his shirt pocket, and said, "See I have them on me."
He said he also had a pair of chaps at home. They hurt his back. (Strangely enough, I notice that occurs if you don't pull the waist strap low.)
He told about working with a guy who used his chainbrake. The guy would set the chainbrake on, then fling the running saw on his shoulder and go to the next tree. With a grin on his face, he said he could do that.
Yup, I think he might have trouble getting certified....:biggrinbounce2: But he's a very good faller without the certification.

No, I just cut the heavy, bigger limbs off, and cut off the other limbs to make the profile as narrow as possible.
It was only about 40ft tall. I just had to miss the dumpster, but keep it as close to that grassy spot as possible.
