Morning everybody. No tornados here but we had a LOT of thunder and lightning with several inches of rain.

Have a good one and be safe.

Well there's only one place of real discomfort when I work. It starts at about the hip and ends in my toes. I'm swollen and my speed this morning isn't anything impressive. But the show must go on.

so, all in all, just a small place, eh?

Those types of injuries come back to haunt you when you get old. Them same places are easily aggravated later in life.

No apologies needed. I am coming from a firewood point of view. I don't know Jack about felling for production although I suspect some things are comparable.

 

[Locust Cutter]

Thank God I haven't been there (narrowly). I have had a few shift while releasing load that I knew they had, further than I expected them to. A few near misses have made me much more slow and deliberate when cutting trunks under tension... Long bars can be handy for firewood at times, especially when either Mother nature or a hack with a skidsteer felled the tree and you're cleaning it up...

Aahhhh.... Memories....

 

[cuttinties]

hey.
cuttinties, hope yer doing well this morn.
yall have a great spring day.

Not a good day. I'm probably calling tomorrow it for this job. There's a difference between communication and disrespect. Apparently one of the guys cutting made himself boss and feels that disrespect is the only form of communication. Had he opened his mouth like he did in my early 20's and late teen years I wouldn't so kind as to leave the job site. I used to think that beating on people fixed things. It took quite a bit of jail time to figure it out. I'm not a bad ass but I've never been scared to stand my ground. I've had reconstructive surgery on my hand which wasn't cheap financially or physically. But it serves as a daily reminder when I get good and hot that regardless of how hard you beat on someone you'll never win a fight. And you'll never lose a fight you walk away from. I'm not a great person and I make mistakes every day, but I'm not going to relive that lifestyle. I've been called worse things by better people. Tomorrow is a check and fishing. Clear my mind and go on about my life. It's not worth regretting tomorrow.

Hope you get limbered up.

Morning Jerry.

My leg hurts I'm moving slow. But I'll survive. I will say that after he got me good and mad my leg didn't hurt so bad. Made it a little easier to get in the truck and leave opposed to listening to his babble.

I hope everything works out well for you.

It'll work out. At some point my attempts at being a responsible adult will yield something. It's frustrating and difficult to handle, but I'll survive.

 

[jerrycmorrow]

yer right. sometimes the high road takes a little time to bear fruit. but it will eventually. hang in there.

 

[Hinerman]

I hope everything works out well for you.

I 2nd that notion...

Another thunderstorm rolling thru here.

Matt: you get some rain on your oats?

 

[RVALUE]

One of the fallers from MO walnut I service saws for, took a saw to the neck.. He still can't say how it happened, but he was limbing a tree and a limb flipped it back at him..
Quite the scar from 4 teeth that fillet'd his skin and left the jugular exposed, but un cut...
Even the doctors were squeamish about stapling him up being that close to a blood shower.. Gotta be careful out there.. Stay at it and chalk this near miss up to earned wisdom..

It is a bad sign when you walk into the ER through the ambulance door, and the doctors gasp. Just saying.

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Getting a good soaker tonight. Looks like it may be set in for all night.

You don't have the Platte River over there. It's been coming up steady the past week. Likely flood Rosendale and Agency, Mo..

 

[Locust Cutter]

I hope that there aren't too many people displaced...

Nope.. Got a tenth the other morning..
Squat since then..

 

[Hedgerow]

I think I actually got a logging gig...
Why am I not so excited about it...??
Lol...

 

[67L36Driver]

I hope that there aren't too many people displaced...

Them people are used to it. Just about evry spring they have to shut hwy. 48 into the small town of Rolsendale.

It is pouring down hard here now....again.

Just got home from another awards banquet for my daughter. It is her senior year. Tonight was the "Superintendent's Banquet". To get on the Superintendent's Honor Roll you have to have straight A's, I don't think you can even have an A-. Out of 250 seniors there were only 6-8 whom qualified. They honor students from 4th-12th grade. The banquet is huge, several hundred in attendance. They invite all the local dignitaries, parents, teachers, etc. They honor retiring teachers, present teacher of the year award, and present the kids with their certificates.
