I keep em short because if you catch a nail and bend it back it hurts like hell. I like when the idex finger is a little long, I can stick a finger up my nose and hook a big booger between the nail and finger and pull it out real good. Sometimes they are so big and long it feels like I am pulling my brain out.

probably 99 percent saw dust.

Feels as good as taking a piss you thought was gonna come outta your teeth to get those big fellas out :)
 
Trying to decide if I want to go climb a gum tree in a nader watch:monkey: It is a simple climb piece down top and drop trunk cut into handle-able sections and leave lay. Look like the nader threat is going to be over soon but who knows.

How did you get the squirrel to take a nap on the end of your gun?





Must be a pet, and likes his belly rubbed, Eh?

What I did today:
  • went for a 4 mile run
  • emptied good fuel out of own equipment that won't be run for a while into container of "good" 2 stoke mix
  • emptied bad fuel out of various neighbors and friends' equipment that they gave me to fix up, dumped it all into the 96 Jeep
  • shop-vacc'ed the leaves and scunge out of the outdoor A/C units and hosed them out before summer heat hits us
  • put away the garden hoses, since it is finally raining in SC
  • put delicate new plants under the eaves since it is supposed to thunderstorm tomorrow
  • stacked big oak rounds for splitting this fall - my back hurts dammit
  • Ran the 028WB for 15-20 cuts to clean up the wood pile a little - can't wait to give it a 46mm 028S lung transplant - P&C sitting on the shelf!
  • Did the string trimming around the garden beds and the shoreline- gotta be able to see the gators before they sneak up on you
  • ran chipper for an hour to kill off the pile of chipper scrap, will spread it on the flower beds another day
  • The Big Old Snapper Mower: fixed the steering - too long of a story to tell, cleaned out the carb main jet, put a set screw in the right side rear axle retainer, mowed the front lawn with it to justify all my excellent mechanical work

I am very tired and want my wife to rub my back with some smelly stuff and then leave me alone until tomorrow morning.

Rope: If you ever get good or fast enough to catch wild game birds alive, you will have earned all that rep you carry around!

Whether or not you can hypnotize them will be beside the point.
I want to see the video of you chasing down and catching a wild turkey! Even a pheasant or grouse would be ok, too.

I'm just happy that our fleet now matches for the first time. Should have the letters done up for the big guy in a day or two. It's the only truck that's consistently on the job and I'm hoping it'll bring in a call or two a week. Hoping...
 
Brush the gas tank gloss black and put a little tire shine on and you'd be surprised the dif. These used truck places around gloss spray the tires but that obviously will flake off after they sell them.

We were gonna spray bomb the tank with flat ( I really dislike gloss ) but I'm not sure what happened that we forgot. Once I get it lettered I'll probably do a bit finer detail, cleaning the tires, spraying the frame, wiping down windows, lights, mirrors, etc. Right now I'm just happy that it's not "City of Binghamton Yellow" anymore. lol

A 4 mile run? Why? Were you being chased?

You're making me jealous... if work keeps coming in nice this year, I may have to go big truck. I just keep thinking how much wood I could stuff in that big ole box.

For me, it was SO worth it. It cost about 10 g's to put together but it holds 3 times what our one ton did. Granted, our 1 ton was smaller than yours though. On an average day, my partner and I fill this truck with chips once. Which means only one trip to the dump at the end of the day as opposed to making three runs during. Talk about saving time! Also it should be noted I've only spent about 200 bucks in fuel for both truck and chipper in the past two weeks. The 460 in our one ton would eat that in a day. I don't know much about diesels but the cummins' in our chipper and dump are easily saving me hundreds a week. They will pay for themselves in no time at all.
