Barbie's Sister wants a wrap handle
Now, now. The President says we all need to sacrifice. Not buying a full wrap and bigger dogs will be my contribution. Full wrap = Higher taxes.

It's the way of our people. The wrap handle is very important to us. I got to go, on the way out the door. I got some darn nice wood to kill today. Back in the JUICE!!!! WHOOWEE!!!!
You know, in proper Chaser fashion, I've got to say that if the :censored: fallers had done their job, I wouldn't have to worry about cutting straight.
But they did a good job of limbing.

Son in law is supposed to be driving tomorrow, so I have heard. The story is hauling chips somewhere in Butte County. We are crossing our fingers and avoiding the casino, LOL...
Got a call on the radio today. I felt like Mrs. Peal of The Avengers show. They said, We need you and Twinkle up here. So Twinkle and I returned. Our crew was working more efficiently today. I think we did the same amount but in less time as yesterday.
Here's me by my pile of rootwads. Twinkle had the nerve to throw some mud in my face!
Meanwhile, up at the slide area....
One of these guys thought he saw some caterpillar yellow iron mixed into the slide. But the mud re-covered it.
I guess we are done for a while.

that's a big pile of root wads. what happens to the root wads? burned?
I don't know, I'm just the chaser....
Nah, I imagine they'll be loaded in a dump truck and hauled to where ever all the waste (dirt piled from the slide, you can't just dump it over the side anymore) is hauled to. Finding a waste dumping spot is one of the hardest parts of fixing roads.

Damn, that was bigger than I thought. I drove by a good one here two days ago as it was coming down! (But not that big...)

Didn't Mrs. Peal wear something like a skin tight leather jump suit. Better get with the program.

Looks like a not very fun job. Be carefull, its hard to tell sweep from bind on that kind of material. I got whacked pretty hard last fall by a right of way tree I was bucking. Like being a pin ball, it whacked me and knocked me up against another log, the sprung back and whacked me again. My hip hurt for a month.
Is the excavator stuck?

Yes, these trees had a lot of sweep--pistol butt because they'd been growing on a slowly moving slope. I used my wedge religiously, and still got the saw stuck. I also tried to get the skidder-backhoe operator to lay them out where I had room to move when they rolled. Rootwads like to roll, even on the flat road. I also did a lot of longbutting, just to stay safe. I'll have to write myself up as "needs improvement" in the utilization check off box.

Who's he driving for?
My daughter told me but I forget the name. Bamford, maybe? I'll have to ask again. They say the memory is the first thing to go...
I do know he is happy to be back to work.

Good deal...if he's working at all right now he's doing better than most. Bamford is a good place to be if he wants to learn about logging. Tell him to keep a suitcase packed, though...they travel all over. I'll PM you later.
