This is the rope on reality lol no drink since 1995:monkey:

congrats on that Rope. Hey you been making any bucks with that TW 6 this year. We sold very little firewood prior to Christmas but have almost sold out since then. My TW5 is one of the best machines I have ever invested in and the conveyor is right up with it.
 
I got a black belt in Ishinryu (Okinawan) years ago. Since then my sport is racquetball. Still threaten to use some technique if the other guy tries to cheat.:)

I don't know if it is ADD or what, but I could never get combinations over five or six moves. So i never really tried to progress in belts, aside from being in a highly deployable slot.

Kinda like Tyson :laugh: Holyfield beat him by watching tapes, saw tyson never thew anything more then five, and often dropped his hands on the backstep. All he had to do was wait a few seconds and BOOOOMMMM!
 
fighting smart is always better than fighting hard jps. If I knew that in some drunkin brawls I would still have my real 2 front upper teeth and less dents in my head.

No I mentioned it in another thread I tried advertising seasoned split hardwood 200 per cord and someone advertised below that for 135 per cord, I will burn it for that lol!





Anyway to you tough guys I learned Robuck in high school very effective:monkey:

A thought I've always lived by. I tried akido for that reason, but it was way too subtle for for what little hand-eye coordination I have :laugh:

As much as i have fought throughout my life I've only broken a few hand bones and tore ligaments. I stopped bulling my way into a fight after getting KO'd when i was 16. :rolleyes:
 
And oldirty better keep hiding in his basement, talking all that smack about the Pats, you know, the ravens doormat yesterday? Brady sucked eggs, and oldirty needs a new team now...............

i dont think tommy is all that hungry anymore. he got the girl and has the rings but thats old news. the new news is that he sucks now. yah he was beat up but so is everyone else at that point in the season. hate to say it but the ravens showed up and put it on the pats. oh well. go celts?

and no dave i am not "hanging" out in the basement. lol
 
there was a story going around cinci today that our placekicker tried to commit suicide last night....

but he couldn't kick out the chair underneath him. (rim shot)
 
we was worried bro, thought you might be knotting up a sheet, they played so bad......:cheers:

first thing i said to my buddy after they went up 24-0 was "looks like i cant hang out at the tree site i go to now." lol.


as long as brett beats them boys i dont care what happens.



good one tv. lol.
 
I started in Shotokan but moved town and there was no dojo so I switched to I tae kwon do and never looked back.

I hear you on the motor control JPS. I popped the wife of my instructor on the point of her nose in none contact sparring. I went as white as my gi. I deadset thought I was going to be roadkill. It was testimony to HIS selfcontrol that he sent me home. Great instructor. The real deal, no showboating, no flying sidekicks, just solid footwork, good balance and anticipation. He was the first instructor I ever had who said if it looks like trouble yell "fire" at the top of your lungs then run like hell.

These days the closest I get to a dojo is pruning the trees out front. :chainsaw:
 
I never learned any of that martial arts stuff. We have a 70 years old akita master that trained in the orient. None of the young men want to spar with him he has won competitions all over the country but these young black belts say he is too rough lol:cheers:
 
finally back to tree work.

did a big dead red oak today, had a REAL good time. 20 degrees, sunny, no wind, and deep snow. :D

Was an easy takedown, and I got my crew tight and right. Not even work, was like a walk in the park. :)

Homeowner paid good, and we got 3 Big loads of prime firewood. 1/2 day total.
