Hi Clint. @mainewoods. i see you lurking out there. How ya been? hope the snow is meltin up your way. one of the best threads on AS.

 

[mainewoods]

I'm doin' good,Steve, but you guy's are killing me with all these bare ground pic's! The last time I saw dirt was back in November. Pretty tough cuttin' in the woods this winter.

Dang, drop your guard for a couple days and you wind up 5 pages behind. I love the C series Homelites. I gave a friend a Blue C5 just like that, he uses it for milling now. I have a C72 that's on my keeper list, I've got 24 and 36 inch bars for it, Joe.

I agree. But I am so done with this bull carp. We've had snow. We've had our 2 weeks of temps that don't make it out of the 20s ('Merican). I'm ready for spring.

Is it sad I know what episode that clip was from? He was doing God's work, if I recall correctly.

I can go from organ music to Gwar in the same playlist. Unclestash has some good videos of his wife on the church organ floating around AS she's very good. I could tell some stories about things I used to be into statute of limitations and all I'd rather not .

I'm that way too. I guess 20yrs on the road will do that to you, you can't always get the stations you want lol.
I had the great fortune of a private sing along with the unclemoustachios with her on the piano, still waiting for my signature on a picture from that event LOL.

No mice. Bees, black flies and a scary looking little jumping spider with white marks on its back. But no mice.

That's good. I was glad I got them out of the house before they ended up running around everywhere.
Yesterday I found a nest under the hood of my suburban . Let stuff sit for a minute and somethings gonna make it home.

My uncles saw mill, my Dad and uncle used to use this quite a bit when I was a teenager, sure enjoyed working around it. A lot better than my “mill” View attachment 634375

Havent posted in this thread in a long while so figured I'd share my dumb moment with you guys. Weather is warm today and jumped on the oportunity to split my rounds. Some I had to noodle in half because they were just too heavy and large for me to get up on the splitter even with the boards i use. Any how I split away and say "hey let me go get my logrite hookaroon and stop bending over to pick up the larger splits. So getting towards the end....tired and I take a half ass stupid wack at one near me and MISS and get the inside of me right foot WOW THAT HURT!!!!. thankfully I was wearing some nice thick boots but still managed to puncture right through it all and hit the bone right there.

Yeah nothing 4 Advil can't handle. Hurts like hell when I walk but should get better fairly quick. I have to stack all the wood now thats all the rounds are completely split and this foot isn't gonna stop me, although it will slow me down. Lol

Wait till you've tried grey box!

The really sad thing is if you said to a teenager today about that episode where Homer was licking toads they don't have the first clue who or what you are talking about. I mentioned Mr Ed (a horse is a horse, of course, of course) to a 25 year old recently - he had no idea who Mr Ed was. Kids these days *shakes head* .
