Hey Chris, you have to be creative about your toes, as Captain Bill Holmes did.

Chip off the old block

I knew my nephew was destined to be an axemen. This is a pic of Andy and his grandpa Tom Fales Sr. clearing some trees that crashed our pasture fence down, my dad had some help there clearing them.

Hey Leslie, nice pics.  Purely on a light note, in the first one when he was just a little tike, for some reason when I saw it the rhyme that starts "liar, liar..." came to mind.

Glens,
Yeah I think I know what your talking about, the pic has some sort of red area in it???? Not sure what it is.

Well I have received more email from the boy downunder and he says he is having a great time been getting better at the standing chop and has been chopping in the team relay, never have seen it and his emails say they have placed in that. I'm pretty sure he will be going to LA to a show Dennis and Tom have been to when he gets back to the states. Dennis C, Andy says he is at 75kilos and 14 stones whatever weight that is??? Sounds like he grew a bit huh? The last two places he has gone has been Rylster last weekend and on Saturday he was in Mudgee.

Chopper Mom is Andy staying for the Sydney show or ishe coming home before that, i know Cecil and Dan are leaving the 15th of this month to do some shows before the big one

 

[choppermom]

Ehp........I don't know for sure if he will get to stay for Sydney his mom purchased his ticket and it may not be able to be changed so for right now he is returning to the states around April 4th, I think it would be a good experience for him to see it even if he isn't participating that will come next year. I'm not sure I know who Cecil and Dan are, sorry....I've have met alot of the top guys because they have come to the show Tom and Gina used put on here. I don't know where they are going this coming weekend but I think they are meeting back up with Dale from what I heard. The uncle is already making plans for Andy to go to LA not just to chop he also can run a chainsaw, he is not bad at double hand bucking and single.....don't mean to sound like I'm bragging but he is a natual at doing this stuff and has been given a good oportunity I think, well I might be bragging a bit......lol

Cuts

EHP. You talking about cuts per season or cuts per career?? I've seen people cut their hats before, can you explain that?

 

[Gypo Logger]

Hi NB Logger, how goes the logging? Have you taken all the Birds Eye Maple yet? And what do you think of the 357XP?
John

 

[NB Logger]

Hey Gypo, Bird's eye here is extinct. Think I'll plant a stand. 357XP is an awesome work saw. We've had very good luck with them.

 

[ehp]

My God Gypo you brought him out again,
YES I chopped my Da#m hat in half with a axe doing underhand, but it was a stihl hat that was dirty so they gave me a new one to cover my hairless head with, and they said i had to cover it because the planes were having trouble trying to find Detriot becauseof the bright light in Mio that year, but i have not cut myself yet and i mine yet , i know its coming, and you know me i will go a very good job on it like cut my leg off or something like that, hey Woodland i looked at the axes today so i am all ready a head of last year

 

[Gypo Logger]

Hi Ed, we know your style and there is leg bucking that will ensue, cause you have done this too many times before.
I hope that I get to meet Woodland someday, he is very personable, hence his pictures at Minden.
Anyway, NB logger is as true blue as I can reckon.
John

 

[ehp]

the someday maybe alot sooner than you think, we will get him out here to fall those big trees for you, and he can skid them for you to plus cut them into logs
Woodland what do you charge per tree now, are you up to $1.50 per tree yet, so with him working you have time to take video of him plus do the important stuff like go to town , the coffee shop ,
ps Woodland like 's Tim Horton's that will keep him on your good side

He is coming out in a couple weeks , he said something about teaching me how to file or something like that

 

[glens]

Seems like he'd be wanting to teach you something else if he's "coming out"...

 

[ehp]

Glen i would not say that to loud , he is a big mother you know
