Randymac, impressive pic!!

I had a bystander (in a camping area) that was with the boss. Watch me drop half a dozen 30"-38" dbh spruce ask me why I wanted to log.

I replied "because it beats the hell out of working for a living". He went white around the gills.

Made my day.

If you remembered 0-5 = You're still young

If you remembered 6-10 = You are getting older

If you remembered 11-15 = Don't tell your age

If you remembered 16-25 = You're older than dirt!

I love that pic. But I think the two fellas on the right are stoned!!
The guy on the far right just showed up to supply and watch the show(he dosent have caulks on and no dust on him!) hahaha
 
Pictures from this morning. I believe our 6 months of mildew has begun as of today, and I had to put these on maximum bright in my picture editing program. All you could see if it wasn't touched up, was the lights of the cat.
The ground is still dry so they can run. That's another reason why yarder logging is used frequently out here, if you can get trucks in and out, you can yarder log all year, except when the fire danger gets too high, and if your ground is the right shape/slope. I've got a lot of other pictures on the Forestry Logging forum. I can whine that everybody else was in a cab this morning. I was out in the rain and melted....

There's a saying around here, that "if you ain't backing the cat up, you'd better have a turn of logs behind it." I wonder what the neck x rays look like on some of the older guys?

Oh, I scored--Older than dirt. Now I really am depressed!:cry: :cry:
But I loved to play "Movie Star" and dress up and pretend to puff on the candy cigarettes. :cool:

Interestingly, I never really liked beer. But, for the heck of it, I bought a six pack of Corona's the other night, and I actually liked it pretty well. :)
