The Whining Thread

[Samlock]

Thanks, pardners.

Yesterday I was pissed off and disappointed - and sick - no denying that. Today fever is down and I'm mostly satisfied that I didn't dope myself up and hit the job (I admit, that was my first thought). Probably I would have lost rest of the week if I'd done that. Tomorrow I'll be fit to get back to work. Piece work that is. One need to be in full shape to do that.

 

[HorseFaller]

Well quit touching piss fir then! :msp_wink:

Trust me I would like to. I'm about sick of the pitch. I hadn't expected it to fling off the end of the choker when I unbelled it. Haha. Got it on my eyelid and on my lip. Glad I don't have a winter beard right now.

Very serious accident today!

So, I finally got my new Kuliens last week. Today was their first day in the woods. Felt great, not really any break in. Man, I was making nice crunchy sounds even on some pretty slick alder.

Then it happened. I stumbeled ( I do that more the older I get) and I nicked the toe of my new shoe with the chain. It wasn't turning and didn't cut through but dang it made a serious scratch. Actually peeled a thin piece of leather off. Felt like tramping right then and there.
Shoes cost $847.

I got some on my lips and face and noted that Diet Pepsi took it off when I was swilling Pepsi while driving, hit a bump and it splashed on the pitchy spot. Coke would probably work also. For the beard--mayonaise and a scrub??? Or butter?? Or WD40? Probably not the last one.

It is just like putting the 1st dent in a new truck.

I think you should edit this and make it into a teeny tiny font so the safety nazis don't see it. Like this.

Cut the hell out of myself sharpening a race axe yesterday, didn't feel it until I saw the blood gushing out of my ring finger. Tried to super glue it closed but the damn thing won't stay shut

Glad it was just the boot and not your actual foot man. No trip to the hospital. Just need a patch.

Just leave the pitch in the beard. It will wear out eventually. Or better yet, save it in the beard and on the cold rain days. You have something to start a fire with.

 

[Sport Faller]

WD-40 in your beard?
yowzaa, not unless you use ether as cologne and shave with Bill Brasky's snow shovel

I drove to Forest Grove, OR yesterday and brought this home.

Unfortunately, the owner's manual was inside so I had to wrassle the thing up and then find out I was doing it wrong.

That must be why it seemed much easier to do it at the dealership.

Th Used Dog seems to be going through a period of flatulance and the fan in the trailer will be well used.:msp_sad:

I do not think that three Montana Loggers are going to be able to lift this trailer onto a leveling board. I guess I could put a handle on it for a shovel to lift it....

The wing not good enough anymore?

 

[wowzers]

Breaking the skyline to round out the week.

 

[slowp]

The wing not good enough anymore?

Sadly, no. I like the wing for sleeping. It is cozy and comfy. I have taken up a new hobby and the wing just doesn't cut it. Also, after getting a pickup with more power, I can get something more spacious.

The Pointy Trailer weighs 500 pounds more than the wing--400 more empty. I can brush my teeth inside, perhaps keep The Used Dog inside, and practice fiddle (with mute installed) inside where I don't annoy anybody else. That's the new hobby and I like going to bluegrass festivals. The smaller festivals don't always have good privacy and the restrooms can be a long walk at night.

The Wing is easier to "set up". The Pointy Trailer has a learning curve.

I'll be sad to get rid of The Wing. It is so cute!

 

[Gologit]

Keep the Wing. Hook it on behind the Pointy Headed Trailer...Benny can have his own special trailer all to himself.

If you want to travel farther thar Darrington, Stevenson, or Tygh Valley I suggest North Carolina in the spring. Did a festival circuit with a roomate in college that was from Ashville or somewhere out in the mountains.

Yeah it was awhile ago but when was the last time some town QUIT having a bluegrass festival?

Patty Mae, what does the wing weigh? The 'Chero has power, but sadly no good solid places to put a hitch on.
There is no frame and I have to remind myself, that it is really a car with a cargo box. I need a beater pick-up, the days of good $500 trucks are gone.

The house closes this Tuesday, still waiting for the ####up to come along. Had to argue basic math to the bank, the Realtor and the title company, apparently figuring out sixty ####in' days on a calender was beyond them. Holy crap, good thing I can talk the Bureaucratic language.

years ago I was riding may super loud dirt bike through the Darrington Bluegrass grounds on my way to the saw dust pile at Summit. I noticed a bunch of jerks had done a few lawn jobs got through to the other side and some other different kinda jerk had fell a few trees across the rail road grade. So I turn around and am heading back. Out of the corner of my eye I see a large white truck heading straight for me, with no intention of slowing down, 4th gear wide open between two ecology blocks can really get you're heart rate up. I found other ways to get to town after that...

Got a pickup load of oak today, but most is for BBQ, not to keep the lady warm

The Wing is said to weigh 900 pounds. I have a memory foam topper in it--add a few more pounds.

The Pointy Trailer passed the shakedown voyage. I slept through the night with no dog elbows in my back, no grinning dog in my face, or no dog drool on my shoulder. I was worried about falling out of bed. Maybe a not so slick sleeping bag is in the future.

I have slept well in The Wing, when The Used Dog was not along.

Oh, and Randy, get this. I was able to back The Pointy Trailer about 100 feet through lined up RVs and into a spot. I got pretty good at backing The Wing, and The Pointy Trailer is a piece of cake!

Patty, PM Cody and see if he wants to buy the wing! He can pull it behind the Tarzota for fires and out of town jobs. . . Not to mention next years GTG!
