Pro Griss:

My wife said she hates when I wear my Kroks, they leave big tanned splotches on my feet, that look like some tropical disease.

I'm going to do the wheels this morning. I wonder what tropical disease leaves big Green splotches on one foot, and big Yellow ones on the other?

Would be fun if you were painting it Kubota orange lol.
Thats a neat little trailer.
Just aired up the tires on my little woods trailer with the ATV tires yesterday, bought a go cart with a Honda motor I needed to air the tires on too so why not.

Crocitis, very deadly especially if you have been drinking.

Cowboy Qustion on bullet point 3 .... Is that actually confirmed?

Unfortunately, yes. It got a good run in the newspapers but was also confirmed privately to me by one of my clients who happens to be fairly high up in the ADF.

88th picture of same tree. It's at tail end of first row.

I can't keep Hickory around that long. Powder Post Beetles get to it the first year and then it starts to rot.

Hate them darn things.

I know this is late, but that tick looks more like a deer tick to me. Dog ticks are lighter in the front of the carapace than at the rear. And BTW - dog ticks can spread Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever where that is prevalent.

:

The deer ticks really burrow in when they latch on. Never been bit myself but have pulled a few off cats/dogs.

Did I hear right on the news today that one in four are found to be breaking isolation when authorities check? If that's even close to accurate, WTF is wrong with these idjits!
I also heard they are considering a "New Zealand style" total lockdown. At least with that, they can more easily spot the rule breakers and hopefully start hammering those phuckers into submission!

Or perhaps it's going to get so out of control they'll have no choice but to go full Sweden and just let it burn through and hopefully burn out. But then what are other states going to do about their borders?

Just had a piece of wood removed from my pupil and ground out with a little bitty die grinder. Boy that was fun! I wear prescription safety glasses so they're always on. I think I'm going to invest in one of those screen things with ear muffs.

Ouch!

I wear safety rates Rx glasses, with side shields, under my helmet with face screen.

One bird answered the door when the cops did an isolation check on her infected husband and she said "Nah, he's gone to work".

There is a cure for stupidity but we're not allowed to administer it.

A bloke I used to play cricket with was blinded in one eye when he got hit by a splinter when he was splitting kindling without eye protection.

Mandatory two weeks detention on Nauru or Manus Islands for the muppets. Then paying the bill before they are allowed back to the mainland

Ouch Kiwi! were you cutting? I assume so. hope it heals fast, eyes often do but I hope not to find out.

Hmmm I've wondered on this. I always wear the helmet with screen...helmet seems OTT to buck wood up in the garden but I like the screen and dislike safety specs. Specs just seem to steam up so much. But should I wear them under the shield? for ultimate protection, probably, but hopefully I'm not mistaken in thinking the shield gives a great deal of protection

Kndling?! I do wear specs to split wood up despite disliking it, but for kindling I don't. blimey

Shield protects your face.
Safety glasses protect your eyes.

Yep. Only a few days after I stared wearing the Stihl hardhat/safty sheild/headsets, I wound up in the ER with a piece of sawdust in my eye. It came right through the shield...at least I couldn't figure any other way it got there.

Wow, hope it heals up quick, usually does, same with the mouth.
I was at a friends a couple nights ago, he does that sort of work for a living, he's about 5 mins from the house, hope I never have to call for help with that.
One of the worse things that happened to my eyes was getting flash, when the sandman comes it sure is painful .
