OMG I gonna do something nasty to our young ones BF he just dropped a tree thru my father in laws shed grrrrrrrrrrr:angry2::angry2::angry2::angry2::angry2: He better think himself lucky I'm 3500 miles away or I'd be setting him on fire ......after parts of him were removed


I told him to leave that tree be it wasn't going anywhere but he thought he'd impress our daughter (do bear in mind he a musician)

A guy doing something stupid to impress a girl? Never happens...

 

[ropensaddle]

Well think our daughter upset as I told her very bluntly that HE is off the wedding invitation list lol

Hmmm so like maybe he will write a song make top 20 over this

A rank amateur?

 

[roberte]

lol nope the daughters BF is an amateur lol

A rank amateur?

O ok.
a very rank amateur. I have one of those situations too. he best not be messing around with my saws

 

[jrcat]

My one concrete rule....NO one runs my stuff but me not my truck dozer or saws. And if anyone uses my tools they better be clean when they go back to the box, otherwise that nasty gob of grease I just laid my hand on... goes on the offenders seat.

Everybody starts out even, not everybody has what it takes. Books and vids can only get you so far, there is a lack of one on one, experience oriented instruction.

I have a hard time teaching I feel I dont have enough knowledge to teach. I also find that teaching my own kids to be very challenging

I tend too agree, but have you talked to an 18 year old lately

 

[jrcat]

I tried to teach a green log truck driver to tell the difference between soft and hard maple and between ash and bass wood... I gave up.

 

[jrcat]

then do what I told my daughter...........That the BF is off the wedding guest list lol it may take a minute to sink in lol

Thats rough lol

Yes, it was disappointing. There are quite a few good ones out there.

i told the bf what i was told by my dad
use your head for something more than a hat rack.

[jrcat]

I was told to think with the right head

well you might have to teach with a 2 x 4

 

[jrcat]

I'm only 34 and one of my best friends is only 20 he knows more about cutting and skidding than I do. I look to him often for advice.. the advice the local veterans wont give.

 

[roberte]

That is so true .......I bet you had to follow a faller for a while watching and learning as I did .....I still would too given the chance to learn things I haven't encountered before.


I think it a sign of the times there to many in a rush and cause things are economically tight carrying apprentices is a burden most can't carry

but if you get an appretice worth it, i do feel you/we/i owe it to the trade to pass it on

 

[roberte]

there are a few good ones but few and far between........The first prob I have is understanding them lol all the lang they use goes whoosh right over my head lol

well the first thing with the language barrier is
1. ####
2. yes sir
3. no sir

 

[jrcat]

With words like nutter...bloke.....bloody hell and meat pie.... most ofthe lang from over the pond goes over my head lol
