Hey Gary. . . When did ya get the badge?
Now I know where to send all my oil complaints.
A logger from here said he caught a 32 pounder out in the ocean. I do not think they have room in the fish truck for the big ones upriver here.

We don't have that problem here, big glacial runoff rivers.
Its a beauty
Nice fish! Salmon season closes here Sep 5, ocean only.
Hey Burvol! You might have to go back to work tomorrow. It is cooling off and some major clouds are coming in. Better run out and catch some more fish.
I am home because the Dr.s have told me to. I think it is overkill. I seem to have gotten a spider bite between the toes. They puffed up a little bit, and while I was at a foot doctor to see about another thing, he freaked out about the little bite and mentioned poisoning, etc. Got bright red cheap horse sized pills. Hung out with the old people in the pharmacy.
Today it feels pretty good, but the follow up Dr. said home tomorrow too.
Back to reading on the deck....until the rain starts. The loggers have found out my secret location and have been phoning...

Not good. Guys get complacent around the lines. While we're on the subject, the rumor has arrived here that a feller buncher operator was killed in Oregon, when the chain broke on his cutting head and shot through the shielding and into the cab. I can't confirm it.

Nice Fish Burv!
Dead old Elm. Where in the hell is the holding wood? I figured I had a 20% chance I could pull this off. I've done it before. Usually not this much rot though. Big black ants crawling down the bar at me. They were pist.
Rigged and ready. Cable choked around the left side then wrapped around the right. I figured if they split the rotten side would take the side leaning over me with it. Or best case scenario all goes well. Ran out of cable and had to chain the rest. It looks like the hoe is right under it, but its well out of range.

The property owner snapped a few pics and then got clear when I told him. Good thing too cause all hell broke loose. The rot went farther in than I thought. Just as I was about to pull out the weak side started to go and the cable pulled the side over me with it. Made a hell of a mess. What should have been less than 2 hours turned into 5. It took out 1 Spruce from the guys re-forest. All in all could have been a lot worse. Just a one tree day, confidence took a kick in the ass and back at the shop early. Definetely need a full wrap for this saw.
Bucked up. Amazing how hard this dry standing Elm gets.

About a week ago... still ironin' out the bugs in my "mod" profile... Trimmed is helping me with that...
I've been here for a long time... nice to be able to give a little back.
