Gentlemen, lots of stuff to tell you:
Gritz came over to the house today and helped me drop and cut the boxelder tree on the west side of the house, so we are in the
process of limbing the tree and bucking just about done, I look up and about 15' away is the neighbor lady with her young son by
her side his name is Evan....10 years old and I thought Oh sh*t here we go I made too much noise at 4pm in the afternoon or maybe
I scared his cat???? So I shut my saw off pull out my ear plugs and walk over to talk to them, I am shocked by the conversation she
wants to know if it is OK for Evan to help cleanup the brush and small cut logs, he wanted to help but asked his mom first. All I can
say is WOW maybe there is some hope for the next generation, he even had his leather gloves with him and he was ready to work!
I guess that was more important than setting on his arse playing Xbox! I put him to work, thanked him when the work was complete
and sent him home with a 10 spot for his help! Good kid.
Brandon (Gritz) and his wife are expecting their first child....a boy! Due mid January. Good news for sure.
Went to the ICCE knife show this morning at 10, what a great time, first knife show that Brenda and I have ever been to, just wish
I would have caught up to Sunfish (Don Hanson) he must have left before we arrived.
Are we meeting anywhere Saturday morning before Pioneer days start for breakfast? I need to know how early Saturday morning we need to be
there, as we will be there just for part of the day. I might bring 1 saw to sell/trade (Stihl 08) thinking about crossing over to the dark side
and getting a Red saw
Mike, put me down for 1 brake controller, I need one for Brenda's truck.
Take care guys

Tekonsha makes a good one but I'd like a prodigy P3. Prodigy makes a good controller.

I got to run an 064 in Hedge today... I LIKE it! The Snellerized 660 was pretty mean though. I like fun toys...

Got a new toy this last week. The Jury is still out but other than it being VERY tight new, once broken-in I think it will be a darn good tool.
A brand new MS201T. Once its broken in properly I will send it to Brad or Randy to get it's timing advanced, muffler modded and carb set. Then it should be a ripping little saw.

Morning midlanders!
Poor working stiffs up and at 'em!
Michael was up from KC yesterday and we got the pads and rotors almost done on the Forester. I needed his muscle to break loose the damn caliper bolts. The geezer has grown weak.
Plan is to have it squared away for him to drive this winter and park the '95 Dodge van for my infrequent use.

You're not weak Carl. The bracket bolts are torqued tight. The ones on my Avalanche torque at 148 ft. Lbs.

Tammi helped me carry the Mall to the log pile to try some cuts. Set the middle of the bar on a log, blipped the throttle and it drug me and the powerhead up to the bumper on the powerhead. Made a few cuts in some pine then I got the bright idea to try it in some hedge. Now I know why they call it scratcher chain. I'm not going through all those cutter and raker edges to touch it up.

It is functional! Cuts nice and straight too! A lot more I want to do to make it more user friendly but I will be modifying it weekly till I get it where I want it to be.
I can always use cedar and pine for carving stuff!
Should I save a big fir trunk for Iowa spring gtg.
It is sitting in the back of the picture. Came out of my front yard this summer.

Laying my Grampa Bill to rest at the National Cemetery #1 in Fort Scott Ks today.
As per Wikipedia:
Fort Scott was established in 1842, on what was known as Military Road, between Fort Leavenworth, Kansas and Fort Gibson, Oklahoma. It was named for Lieutenant General Winfield Scott. During the initial years, a small plot on the west side of the fort was used as a cemetery. In 1861, a new plot was purchased, and named Presbyterian Graveyard as it was maintained by the Presbyterian Church. During the American Civil War, it was used to inter soldiers who died in battles near in the area. The plot and an adjacent tract of land became Fort Scott National Cemetery on November 15, 1862. One of the twelve original United States National Cemeteries designated by Abraham Lincoln, it has the distinction of being listed as U.S. National Cemetery #1.[2]
