I headed down into a deep hollar today and cut these beauties! There is an entire set of this timber, so far it is running clear. Property line fence is down there and it is waaay difficult to not jumble stuff up...I am not very patient when cutting in a hollar just "hopin" a skidder will come by at some point...and the POS didn't!!!

hey fellers, tc what wrong wit dem trees? I cut almost the same thing ta day.
 
Steamed

I don't ##### very often and definitely not to very many people, however here it goes...

I could care less what someone does on their own time, or even at work for that matter as long as it doesn't affect me or my production. When your 45 year old skidder OP (brother to my boss) shows up dressed like a brother, wearing beach shorts and flip flops you just know the dude is here in body but his POS brain has yet another hole in it from METH! It's like fricken really??? Why even show up for work if yer sooo gorked out that you can't even wear shoes???!!!

I busted my tail (well everyday for that matter) keeping at a quota work pace. My goal for this week is 15 loads. I don't get counted for what is not at the landing...obviously. The skidder OP is so fricken far behind...I'm talkin' 2 days on a 3 day week! He never even made it down to the hollar I was gutting.

I burnt my first gallon of gas and packed out to get more when I saw the POS...he pulled up to me and asked if I would skid while he went and fixed a flat on his cracked out Ol'lady's truck. Pissed off I went ahead and did it just to keep things going. He shows back up and I find out the trucks are in route and they want oak saw logs...well I been hittin' the pine heavy since last Friday. So I went to knockin' some big stuff dwn to pull the load out. I'm right in the middle of a big set on the break of the hollar and th skidder OP comes down there and tlls me he's leaving for the day!!! :bang: OMG! I was so tired, been up and down those hills for 9 hours just trying to keep the timber moving. Bust my tail all day just only to have that POS peel out on me!

I'm so pissed about the day that my face has gone numb...just the fact that despite my efforts it just takes one POS tweaker to throw a wrench in the whole works. I will still get my minimum quota but still...it ain't my 15 loads! If I'm willing to put forth the effort WHY THE HELL CAN'T ANYONE ELSE???

Done.
 
Guess it cause it a more difficult lay and the skidder dude didn't show lol......and our TC moves fast lol
