[SRT-Tech]

Haha, when I saw night shift I thought it might have been something like we used to do here.
We couldn't start a strip untill we finished one. If a real good strip was up next I would work untill dark to finish mine and then go cut one tree in the new strip to mark it (a lot of times by head light on the pickup).
Not the smartest thing I ever did, but it sure got me some nice scale. It aggrivated a lot of fallers who wouldn't work past 2 or 3 in the afternoon too.

I know the feeling of pecker poles and cliffs. The whole last year I was in Michigan I cut pulp wood. I was lucky if I could make quota. Since November I've been in Tennessee cutting mountain sides. Talk about cliffs. Holy Crap! I get 1/2 way down the mountain and theres huge boulders or a cliff. And I'm in a wheeled harvester so I can only hope I can go back up! I can't do any cutting at night though, I refuse to go down these 1500+ ft sides if I can't see more than 100'. Too, many bad things can happen.
