Good morning Jim, Kenneth, Matt, and the rest of the crew. The cooler weather this morning is welcomed. Reminds me of Friday night football games.

Cobey and Matt, I had my first experience chainsaw carving this week. Sam had a project for school to make a shield. He wanted me to cut him a cookie to make his shield so I did (out of oak--my first mistake, too hard). Then he wanted me to carve an "H" in it for our last name. I have absolutely NO carving/woodworking skills. I tried a drill, a hammer/chisel, and a dremel with no success. He said what about using a chainsaw. Why not, nothing else is working. Long story short---I went to my dad's shop and carved one ugly "H" in the oak cookie filled with a nice coat of bar oil splatter. It looked like crap. I was disappointed so much I stopped by Wal-mart on the way home to get him some poster board to replace the cookie shield. Anyhow, I brought it home late one night (10:30ish) and he was awake, waiting on me. He took one look and with a big smile said, "I like it, that is cool" and gave me a big hug. Made my day/week/month for sure. I am certain he will get a 100% in the originality department because nobody else will have anything like it.

Be safe today and this weekend. Peace...

That's awesome! Way cooler than poster board, and nobody else in the class will be able to say their Dad used a chainsaw on their project. Have a good day!

Folger's French Silk tastes great. Black as the ace of spades. No cream or sugar thank you.

Shake the dust off that OWB Jim and get that wood pile built up.

Great weather! Morning folks... Now that I want to cut wood and need to be on a tractor, my back goes out.
I couldn't do anything yesterday! & today feels worse.

 

[Locust Cutter]

I understand Don... I was told yesterday I may going to a neuro-surgical "consult" for my back... since physical therapy didn't do anything, now they're talking about fusing my L5-S1... On a happier note, I'm abut to go split some Oak for a friend (payment for helping us on a bathroom addition)... I have hot strong Coffee and Hayden has the day off from pre-school, so I will have a splitting buddy! I like it!
