Man, I nearly fell in love with Stihl today. I was taking down trees for a 'big shot' and he was bucking on the ground, dropping trees, and the like. He said he had big saws....

Then his assistant, a solid 9.9 showed up carrying a slick 660 AND my check!!!!!!

Words cannot describe the sight......

Mark couldn't talk or saw........ One of which is rare....

 

[pdqdl]

But I killed that deer "Grave yard DEAD"...
Hit it right in the front shoulder...
Quite the explosion...

Please accept my condolences for your loss. Where should we send flowers to the next of kin?

I've done that multiple times. Maybe 6 or 8. Always survived by superior driving.

I put a root ball on a truck and headed home, about 1/2 mile. When I gassed it, the truck stood up on the rear axle. I quickly figured that this was a bad situation. I touched the brakes, and for once the back brakes worked. It set the front down enough to steer it. So I went ahead and drove it home. It was easy to unload. Tie to a tree and punch it!

But it came down a bit hard........ That one spilled a drop. Or two....

When I was about 14, my dad had me dragging brush and stumps that he dug up with the bulldozer about 1/2 mile away with the backhoe. One root ball was way too big to drag, but I could barely wrap the backhoe around the root ball and make it lighter by lifting the front end of the 'hoe off the ground.

I wasn't smart enough to get a bucket of dirt for a counterbalance; I just drove that 1/2 mile up and down the hills using the left and right brakes. The front wheels never touched the ground, but I was driving pretty slow.

Had he seen me doing that, I don't know if he would have approved or not. He strongly favored disapproval, so I probably would have gotten a good cussin'.

Matt, how'd the ins co. treat ya on the car. I've been mulling over how much longer to keep full coverage on the Impala, 04 in good shape but 235,000 on the clock. PM if you'd rather.

 

[atvguns]

True...
On another note...
Wave by-by to the old trusty Honda...
Hit a deer this morning at 70mph... "They totaled it"

But I killed that deer "Grave yard DEAD"...
Hit it right in the front shoulder...
Quite the explosion...

Glad your ok hope the air bag didn't leave too much of a rug burn.
