Spent the nice day yesterday with a few clients, bank,etc and now rained out. So now I have to sand these doors and whatnot. The neighbors daughter (17 years old) and her boyfriend ( the kid with no muffler hammering it at midnite) will stop in for a nooner. I was thinking of dragging the Bandit down and letting her rip. Sound like a good plan?
 
What, no rain gear? Summers when I got rained off from construction I head straight for the woods or the log pile, gear up and I would hunker down and buzz away all day.
 
Straight pipes on the chipper with the clanger for when it's idling. Run big hardwood through it.

Neighbor--->:buttkick:<----You and the Bandit.

Those rattling rain caps on the exhaust are more annoying than the glass packs.

without a rope involved. :dizzy: kinda hard being in a tree as opposed to whaling on em flatfooted.;);)

I'm rained out yet again. :censored:

I did climb and bomb a big dead red this morning in the rain, made a few bucks.

was nasty.

Yep I was a flatlander. Any weird trees were left for those crazy folks with spikes growing out of the ankles. :dizzy:

One day my dad got rained off a job he was working at and he decided to drive by where I was cutting wood. It was raining so hard he could barely see the road so he figured no way in heck was I cutting that day. As he pulled up to the landing my truck was there and the tractor was missing. He opened the window a crack and head the buzz of my Stihl 051AV chewing on logs. He thought there was no way someone would crazy enough to be out in that kind of hard rain, but there I was.

He drove off and came back with warm burgers from a local grease pit and he hoofed them in to me. As he handed them to me he commented that I was insane. I looked at him and thanked him for the burgers and fries and then said "I'm out here making money, you came out in this and you are spending money on these burgers. Now who is the crazy one?" :laugh:

He decided it was not too bad in the pouring rain with proper gear and so he stuck around and operated the winch the rest of the day for me. He thought I was nuts buying that winch (Farmi skidding winch) but he sure did love to run that thing in the woods.
 
well, I got the door finished and checked up on the weather. Quick call and dummy 1 dropped dummy 2 at the doorstep and we wrangled a little ash to the ground , dumped a full load of chips and crap wood made it back as the drops were still friendly. So now I have another stump in tight quarters that warrants the rental of the Praxias stumper . When done it will pull in a few grand I had on the street.
I was one day late on a CC bill, they raised my rate and charged me a penalty. After 15 or so years with them while having so many other options I stuck with them so I went to the bank yesterday and withdrew 12 grand and payed them off. Oh well, screw them if that is the way they feel, I was doing them a favour.I had them down, close to 10% and they jacked it to over 25. That is why I didn't get out in the timely manner yesterday.

Working in hard as rain is good, the saws run great the chips fly hard and no dust floating around, its satisfying to go hard on a nasty rain day and get heap done and when the other guys show up on the fine day they cant believe what youve got done. i reacon i get more work done in the rain faster then i do when its fine, i just try avoid climbing jobs as i dont like slippery trees.
