A sudden jump to a four and no work long enough to plan a lovely week of catch up... Then the call we are dropped to a two and back to work again. Argh!!!
 
3 weeks ago I had a 20'' chain thrown on my bollocks while cleaning under side of a hairy spruce hanging on it's limbs. My whine is that my singing voice has not improved a bit!
 
not a whine but have some light wetness coming down. bring it on. my webs were shriveled up.
 
Throwing chains...

I threw five this morning!

I threw them in the recycle bin...part of the on going, never ending, shop cleanup project.

As soon as I get brave enough I'm going to look at the storage areas in the dark corners of the rafters. There's stuff up there that is beginning to develop it's own life forms.

I kind of did that yesterday. I decided I needed more shelves which will allow more spiders to make more webs.

Miles,

It really is raining. I went for The Walk and right when I got to my driveway on the return, the few drops turned to rain. I have the woodstove going. The deck no longer has raindrop marks, it is wet.

just started hereon the border about 5mins ago, we need it but we really didnt get that warm of a summer kinda reminds me of about 79-80 when we had just FOGGGGG!!!! yep the stoves are now going here:)
 
had a chance to combine to shows today, one where we've been thinning all summer, the other on the neighbor's property, unfortunately the neighbor is pulling ceder out of the river... :msp_angry: not that I have a problem with no permits or anything but that's a real fast way to get shut down and thrown in jail...

Class 1 SMZ for the win!
 
Yep, it did rain down here in Southern Oregon. Bout time it did too. Went to the coast on saturday and spent the whole day crabbing. Caught enough to fill a 20 gallon tote plum full of them. Boiled them up last night, invited the friends and folks over for a crab feed. Good stuff. Too much beer though.
 
We had a break for a few hours. Now it is getting dark and the weather site shows the orange/yellow band of doom almost overhead.
Yesterday's bit was just under an inch.

I can hear the ground and the dried up moss sucking it up.
 
Ok, I think this is the whining thread. My first whine for the day is that my wife made an appointment at the eye doctor for me for 1:00 in the afternoon. I hate mid day dr. appointments, they screw up the whole day. I got to the office at 12:50, at 1:10 they call me to the window and tell me that my dr has moved to an office down the road (about 1/2 mile). My wife had dropped me off so she could get groceries.....so I walked to my late appointment.
Everyone in the waiting room was whining about the dr. moving and not telling his patients. At 2:30 I told them I was leaving, they told me just a few more minutes. At 2:40 they called me into a room, at 3:00 they put drops in my eyes. Then I find out my eyes will be dialated for 5 or 6 hours.....Great!
So here I sit, my eye's look like they belong on a damn cat. I can't see squat (unless I get really close). The good news is that I got a promotion. Yep, when I went in I was wearing bi-focals, this time next week I'll be sportin' my new tri-focals. :bang:
I remember now why I take pretty good care of my spectacles, and only go to the eye dr. every 5 or 6 years.

5 tree job calls this month.

5 said, "Oh no, that price is too high." (Seems to be a recurring theme around here, bastards.)

My saws have sat in boxes since the end of May.

Ah well, #### it.
Might be time for that last half-gallon of saw gas to go into the old POS mower. Or the new drip torch.

Ask them what they do for a living, and how much they make doing it. . . When they tell you say, "Oh no, that price is too high!".

How you been suck-a-fish? You done with school in December?
