Well, I got a hundred and eighty-five stitches

They're known for that. Seems like most of my ex-wives were somehow related to Benedict Arnold and/or Satan.

 

[Jim Timber]

Well, I got a hundred and eighty-five stitches

I never counted; I've got two industrial sewing machines and it's way over 185.

Oh you mean in you... I've never counted those either but I've had a couple surgeries over the years.

 

[Jackbnimble]

Well, I got a smashed in skull. And you boys had no clue all this time

Thar b some beautiful wood in that tree. Luv the fragrance of freshly cut wood and smoke from a wood stove. Therapeutic.

Gonna cut some timbers for my shed or garage or dog house, depending on World War Three's mood.

A little seed covered in dirt, rained upon, with some sunlight, plus time and thar she be: tons of beautiful red oak wood. strong, tough, massive, durable, malleable.

That was ulnar nerve translocation. Doc made the squiggly cut because he had to peel my skin back to re-route the wiring. I've got a matching one on my left arm.

Jack has a paper plate in his head. They were out of the steel ones.

 

[Jackbnimble]

both legs amputated

 

[Jackbnimble]

my right arm and my left hand--gone with the wind, baby.

both cheeks, my tongue, one eye, 90% of my stomach and spleen, one and a half kidneys, but not my good looks and charm. The babes are all over me.

What the heck? Psychiatric advice column? What about my egg salad sandwich?

how do u like ur 660? how long have u had it?

I got it around Christmas. I really like it a lot. Mine is one of those "refurbished" saws. I got it from a sponsor here who builds them using AM and OEM parts. I really like running it. It has good throttle response, cranks about 1/2 of the first pull when hot. Made quick work of this red oak limb a couple of weeks ago.

They are powerful machines. I never make impulsive buys. Just the opposite. It can take me years of research to find the best and the best deal on equipment.

As I approached a Stihl store one evening after work and without doing any research or shopping around, I popped inside and instantly purchased my 660. I fell off the wagon, totally consumed by its rugged good looks, the way it felt in my hands and the image I conjured of myself atop a Redwood cutting limb after limb with one hand on the saw and swinging from branch to branch with the other. A bald Tarzan with a gut and a chainsaw.

In reality I can barely lift the beast and holding it level is a constant source of aggravation. Just starting it takes about all my strength. But, baby, when she's tuned and the chain is sharp, she's a wrecking machine, a saber-toothed tiger, a hungry great white.

I got her to cut timbers out of trees on my property. Now, a bunch of massive posts and beams strewn all over the place serves as a constant reminder that it's time to start to build something.

You know who's perrty? Danielle Panabaker. Hubba hubba.
