Wow. If I may steal this idea, it might say that on it today. I was going finger paint Sahara Club on it but I like Green Gold better.

Just doing my part.
An Interesting Reaction
Met the cutters on their way home this afternoon in the Greenpeace rig. I asked if they had wiped out any small animals or children. They said they were unable to find any. But, they pointed out that their Greenpeace label worked well for their image. They go by a state run environmental center/camp where kids go and stay a week or so. Often, the kids will be walking down the road, kind of like a herd of livestock. Well, the cutters went through the herd (slowly) and the kids saw Greenpeace on their rig and smiled and waved so the cutters returned the smiles and waves. They suggested I put Greenpeace on my pickup, because for some reason when I drive SLOWLY through the herd of kids, the teachers look scared and throw their arms out to protect the kids. I haven't been able to figure out why I'm so scary. The license plate is a little crooked, and the bumper is rusted, but

It's all those antennas. It scares the crumb crunchers.
Nope. I only have 2 antenae. There's the same on the cutter crummy.
Humor on another thinning:
I walked down with a cutter to mark some trees that his trees got hung up in. He also had a bar that had remained in a tree (first entries in limby trees are a beast). I did the painting and headed up the hill. I hear a wedge being pounded, a tree go over. Then I hear him say loudly, Timber.

Wish I could remember the whole poem, written by a friend, the lines I liked best were:
"...and I hear that familiar sound,
of a chain that won't go around,
And I know my partners hung up again."
"...and I hear that familiar sound,
of a chain that won't go around,
And I know my partners hung up again."
In the small stuff, it is the sound of a wedge, then a tree starting to fall, but without the hitting the ground noise. The crew was being extra nice today, gave me a ride in the front seat of the crummy, then after I got up there and got some pummy crawling in, they said, by the way, we've got a processor coming up the road and we need skidtrails marked right away. So, it was a long day..for me.
Pummy crawling is a new sport. You try to get up a steep cutbank made up of pumice. I usually end up grabbing anything that looks solid, and then getting a knee up on it, and so on.

Geez, I hate that pummy. The trees have no root system. I worked up by Morton once on a 98 Skagit. Had to tie everything back six ways to sunday to get it to hold.
