Pine yard is excepting our loads Monday! Problem is I have alot of pine to cut in the set I am in...hate to cut it because it won't go towards my load tally till at least Monday....what to do :msp_confused:

Cut like crazy?

Is it gonna cause ya probs with yer lay??? If not lay it out and look on it as money in the bank

 

[twochains]

Yeh, I use wedges from time to time. Mainly on fence lines.

Oh Hell...speaking of fence lines.... the LO applied to the Forestry Service to get a grant for new boundary line fence and 30 ft. dozed swath plus the land to be burned. He got it! I'm going to sign up for next year, I didn't burn this year.

No won't mess up the lay any...it will mess up my weekly tally against the "B" crew. I already have over a load of pine saw logs down and still in the woods...now those log are actually messing up the lay. I need to drop those big gum and oaks off that ridge, sometime 2moro...the pine will have to be skid first almost, then that will mean the skidder OP will be spending time on un counted logs instead of pulling saw logs. Dang those pine yards! LOL! I'd just cut ALL the pine and send it...problem solved!:msp_thumbup:

With the drama and excitement which frequently accompanies my tree falling, they should hire me. I'd fill more seats than Bob or Randy who boringly land them where they want. My "falling" is more like a reality show slow motion train wreck, which is what draws the crowds these days.:msp_biggrin:

Totally stepped on the big one and took a strike at my chaps. Then Looked over and about two ft away was the little one and I guess I stepped on him too...his little guts was all pokin' out n stuff. The baby is right around 2 to 3 weeks old, this mean there i about 8 more that I didn't see.

As you may or may not know, all "pit-vipers" are born live birth (no egg) so they usually stay around each other for safety. Oddly enough I would say the bigger snake was actually fixing to eat the baby if I was a betting person. They weren't just hanging out together.

Have you any idea how hard it is to stay focused on cutting after something like that happens??? It took an entire 10 minutes to get over it!!! DANG IT!!! :hmm3grin2orange:

:msp_thumbdn: Did I tell you I hate snakes? If not, let me say I HATE SNAKES!!! Dead or alive, but dead is definitely better. I thought of moving to Hawaii - no snakes. Or way up north - no vemonous snakes. I glad they don't phase you and a few others folks. Otherwise there wouldn't be one left on planet earth. Also glad you didn't get bit byeither of them or by your wind blown tree. Ron

PS Did either of them have three fangs (spares don't count)?

PSS Yeah I knew about the live births. I came across a fat mama copperhead in the road about three years ago - let just say she gave premature birth and died in the process. None of her youngums survived either.

PST Did I tell you I hate snakes?

dude! I'm impressed!

With a 15/16 socket, an 18" breaker bar, a 3' cheater pipe, a chain, a propane torch, a lot of sweat and a bit of profanity I got all 9 worn out blades off my old rhino TX 135. Total PITA, but hopefully a few years out of the new ones
