Hmmmmm.... Oak and hickory trees???

I have no idea really. When I was there after the GTG, it seemed pretty much like a thicket of black oaks. I didn't really pay attention.

It's typical ozarks flora.

I got my device to work.

Very clever.

Duct tape!

Have you tried them out yet, running a chainsaw?

I am leaving in about 1 hour, arrival west of Lampe, Mo. in about 5 hours or less.

Location: Lake Road H15 Rd, Lampe, MO 65681, also called Black Oak Resort Lane.

We will work tomorrow, fart around in the evening when we get tired of working, maybe do something saturday morning; return to KC on Saturday.

It's a bit primeval: trees, rocks, weeds, machines. No luxuries like running water or toilets. 3-4 miles to Lampe.

If any of you guys really want to come visit, you will be welcome. We will be throwing away all the trees and wood that stands in the way, and the bobcat will be used to make a big pile with it all. If you are after wood, we will load your truck with all the timber you might choose to cut up. My Bobcat can load anything you can cut.

If I lived closer I would sure take you up on the wppd and helping out.

Not much action here tonight. Worked on three saws today two ran good,back to the drawing board on #3. I thought I was pretty good on these old Stihl points saws,but the last three have dealt me fits. Oh well tomorrow is another day.

Yes I tried them on the job today.

I was cutting in the bucket. The headsets are a bit awkward and will take some getting used to. Every time I took a drink of beer, I'd cram them into my lip.

But they work, I couldn't hear the limbs crashing into the tin roof, or the screams of the inhabitants.

Dad and I will be heading out Sat after my weekend drill to go help another Guardsmen out. I've known him for a long time and he's about my Dad's age. He's been fighting illness lately and his 5 year old Grandson (who He and his wife are raising) is currently battling cancer and chemo. A few of us A.F. boys who are actually familiar w/chainsaws and manual labor are going to buck and split a bunch of wood for them as they heat their house primarily w/wood. I've got a bunch of kids who work under me to come out and be manual labor for us, while a small handful of operators do the cutting. Should be a good deal, and I reckon it'll count as as a good deed in the eyes of B.S.A. No doubt one of the candy ____s will tell me to use this as a bullet point for my next EPR. Those are the ones who just don't get it.
