Warmer than it is here in PA.......hey Jerry.
Happy cutting Rob .
Right at 500'.
If you look at a planting zone map of the US the south central part of PA is like Virginia while the rest of the state is like NY. . Hence in our little county we grow 60% of the apples in the state. About 50 degrees at noon. Same as 90 miles south on the coast.
Adams section in the NW corner catches all kinds of cold weather.
20+ inch oak chest high.
On one the root ball stood up. Told the guy so. When it happened he was all excited. I told you !!!
He said he didn't know what a root ball was.
The others were loaded sideways.
I made extra cuts to unload it. They thought it was silly.
Till they heard and watched it move.
Lol. I'm a coward. I take my time and listen.
Sounds like you had a little fun .
That be real nice compared to here now, we like it cause there is no flies now...LOL
One guy NOT cutting was asking if I had ANSI certified gloves.....Sounds like you had a little fun .
I said they were 4343 .........which is four different ratings of 1-4 on four types of cutting.....cutting puncture and something else. He left me alone.....no idea which. Lol
We had a LONG meeting on it and afterwards we were mocking it in the shop.
Hey....are those 4341???
Safety meeting finally helped!

Heck ya, we even had swings and cross bars like that when I started school in 1958, school still had them until around 1963 when a new school was built near by, then the old school was torn down. No new swings or playground equipment was put in at the new school for many years, then it was the new safety plastic junk.

Only one kid ever got seriously hurt in all those years, he fell off the 14' high crossbar and broke his leg, ground was frozen about mid January. Never stopped the rest of us from climbing and even forcing the swing set up to near the 27' mark.

What we used to do was double up on a swing, standing up and facing each other we would essentially pump the swing sending it higher and higher every swing. We never quite got it to cross the top bar but came really close many times. The cross bar the swing hung from was 14 feet merican high using 5/16" chain with a wooden plank seat. We got a bit creative in our quest to get er over the top and would screw an additional 3' length of plank on providing a footing on each side for each guy to stand on, could pump er way more efficiently that style. Had to make sure we took the additional piece off each evening and take it home with us, we were using the swing after hours, not during school time.
Dying all the plastic I can black on the ported saws......black
Those black saws don`t look bad at all, seen quite a few done and picts posted, one of mine even got flames applied.
That saw is famous, see it all over the net.
