Everybody should have one! :pumpkin2:

I miss mine!!!

Well,
16 of us showed up today to cut wood with 7 saws and 3 splitters. in four hours we had 6 cords bucked and split. Not a world record by any means, but it was a good day. My friend Mike's grandson, Connor, is 5 and has stage-4 Neuro-Blastoma. Some of it has metasticized. Not sure how long he has, but they cut on him and he's being bombarded with chemo as we speak. I had a blast cutting, until he brought Connor out and I realized that he's only about 2" taller than my son is... Not to get evangelical here, but I don't understand how God allows that to happen... If I offended anyone, I do apologize.

Tried to rep ya for helping out. I also have wondered why God lets some things happen. I just have to trust in him and know that he has it covered.
 
For some reason they didn't seem to be moving this morning

Daybreak was perfect, cool & still. I thought for shure they'ed be moveing, but then the wind picked up out of the south & realized the deer knew it was coming before we did & were prolly already beaded down. Oh well, I got to spend some one on one time with one of my boys. That was the true blessing of the day.

No need to apologize for speaking your heart. The thing to remember is that Gods plan doesn't always make sense to us. Especially when it comes to disease's & children. This boy will be in my prayers for sure. His fight may end up helping others down the road.

That Might be more reliable than some of Dan's mechanical devices. And stuff...

I did have to laugh earlier though while cutting. I work with a lot of good guys and a couple of jackwads... They knew that I cut and sold some wood, but they looked shocked when Dad and I showed up with chaps, good gloves, eye-wear, etc. They were really dumbfounded when the 372 barked to life, warmed up and cleared it's throat!:laugh: After I got it going and Dad fired up the 261, the 3 saws that had been running previously suddenly stopped, and their individual operators started fetching wood. They would have crapped themselves if'n I'd had any of the 6 cube saws that I was fortunate enough to play with at Dan's last year.:msp_scared::D

My cousin lost his daughter to sids,cant imagine a person having to go through a thing like that. This guy is the closest thing to a brother that I've ever had(both have had the black eyes to prove it)...we did a lot of talking after that happened and I told him that being a dad was the best thing that ever happened to him...he actually grew up and became a man....and told him not to go back to the drinking and carrying on like he did before.....He started a foundation called Macies Mission and started raising money to help families going through the same thing...First event raised over 12 grand which was shocking....So even though we cant understand why....doesnt mean there isnt a plan in place....Prayers sent for the little guy.
 
Sup OG, triple OG??:rock:

One & Only Original Gangsta. :cool2:


Been super busy to say the least. Worked my nuts off this summer - was hotter than hell!! Prolly not too hot for you around here - mid-upper 90's is all we see for a high. It's that blasted humidity and the high heat that kills me.....

Took a break for about 3 weeks in September and I've been back to it balls to the walls. Hopefully things'll calm down by the end of the holiday season. I'm busier than ever but at least the weather has gotten cold - mid 40's every day and rain - I'm loving the weather right now.

You stay cool this summer or did ya work and work and work.......???
 
Hey buudy, how'd you fair the storm??


Storm was fine out by me thankfully. I'm roughly 6hrs Norfwest of NYC (50 miles south of Rochester) so I was out of the bad areas. Had some nasty nasty winds though and a TON of rain, but all was well here and didn't lose power. My brother, in Rochester, lost power for 4 days - but he was just one of the few that did.

Woke up Tuesday morning at 5:00am and heard a neighbor running a saw down the road so I'm thinkin' a tree may have fallen on or near his house. Stopped running his saw around 8:00am and haven't heard any stories from the neighbors so I'm guessing the tree just brushed his house or somethin' and didn't cause too much or any damage....

How be thangs wichoo....??

Wow.
 
Found a Dan log Friday,was blocking up a big locust and my saw quit cutting. I found four bridge plank spikes that I could see,these will take the sharp off a new chain quick. Going back with a couple of old chains and work around those I can see.
