I collected a lot of those helping my Dad in the summers putting old school corrugated galvanized roofing on barns. Starting those old lead-headed nails made it easy to put a hammer to a finger. A red hot needle through the nail gave you relief as soon as you saw the mini gusher of blood come out.

I jammed one of my spurs into my calf through the muscle and hit bone that was a special kind of hurt[emoji33]

 

[Hedgerow]

Eugene ran a punjie stake thru the calf of his leg. We both had a cigarette while l used his and my field dressings to cover it up. Eugene didn't normally smoke.

He went to Japan to recover.

Well that sure as hell made walking a bit harder...
Damn...
And I thought a nail in the eye was bad enough.

 

[Hedgerow]

I've don it with a red hot needle. Not that bad.

Sorta melts through it. It already hurts like hell, so ya don't notice the difference.
Like Steve said, the relief afterword is worth it.

Anybody going to Nixa this weekend to help Steve out?

Alan set a date yet for the Charity Cut?

 

[workshop]

I'm taking Friday off from work to start cutting. Some for me and some for charity.
I'm out of wood now, so, I guess I am my favorite charity.

 

[workshop]

Ed will hopefully drop off a couple of trailer's to fill.

We don't have an exact date yet Thomas, but lets go with the first weekend in March, weather permitting. I have to go out and drop a few trees soon, so that'll give a chance to get some pictures taken and posted.

Well my cousin and his wife laid their daughter Carlie to rest today. I carved this Eagle for them with a Scripture reference.

they did the visitation at a local church where they stopped counting at the door at 1086 people. The hardest part to watch was when her teammates arrived after playing their 1st game without Carlie. There was an extended period of hugs and tears. As I never know exactly what to carve or which reference to place on a sculpture for this type of thing, I was led to do this Eagle for them with the corresponding verse about eagles wings Isaiah, 40:31. Well I received the confirmation that I was indeed listening... Someone gave them a day by day Scripture reference book at the funeral today and guess what verse was the one for today? Isaiah 40:31. A divine appointment. no one could ever convince me that God is not involved in even the minute details of every persons life. My prayer as always are for grace and peace for my family as they begin to heal from one of life's worst wounds, the death of a child. Be blessed my friends!

I'd love to play but it looks like I'm going back to Virginia again from Feb-Apr... I may be back early May.

Today we got the wood we had cut on the pond dam yesterday at work.
It was a muddy mess, I walked threw the woods and found several nice
Dead trees, got them out and into fire wood the last hour Justin came and got me he found 3 nice tall Cherry trees, they were in a bad place, there was a big elm (36"or so)
Blown down on top of a 30' plus tall cherry tree in rough shape and vines and a few other trees, scary as heck! There was one about as big on the other side of the blow down, it had a nasty lean. I was careful how I dropped it and it was alot of work to pack
Out in firewood size. The next was closer than I wanted to the blow down mess
But the maintenance guy said if I dropped it safely
He would dig it out with the tractor, so I did , we took it out in 2 pieces
Each one over 20'...... the last one holding the blow down.......
I wasn't gonna touch it, it looked like a good way to get killed
