    Finished up a big job today, finally. Removed 26 big loblolly pines from around a man's house, hauled the wood and ground the stumps. Started it last Thursday, glad its done. I think I'm gonna look for a power broom attachment for my bobcat, my hands are wore out from the endless raking. Big loblollies are like atomic pine cone bombs.

    Going outside here in a minute with my brand new foxpro electronic predator call, a coors light, and my 870. There's one fox left that I can't get. Seen him a couple times tho. Killed off three grays and two reds since last weekend, right off my back deck. Called them all in with my old school cassette tape predator call. I think its the most fun I've ever had in my backyard. I've got some kind of weird fox problem going on here this fall, but I think I almost have it fixed. Gonna try the "baby cottontail in distress" sound, he hasn't heard that one yet lol.

    well.... That may be do to the fact that i have commenced to drinking heavily and that my insurance adjuster wont be there till tomorrow to let me know how much im getting sqeezed for. I have went almost two years without one single insurance claim and the company reccord is flawless. Maybe im taking it so well because it hasnt sank in yet, or im not even sure what to do. I dont want to fire the guys but they put me in a real bad spot. almost wish i had more experiance in this sort of thing

    Eddy, that made me laugh so hard that it brought tears. Thanks, I needed that.

    Worked my ass off today. Didn't get off the job site til a half hour after dark. Log truck didn't show up til 4:30 and I had 6 big pines on the ground and cut 16' 6" and waiting. We slung them out of there but still had to work after dark. Stumps and a little more clean up at daylight. On the upshot I got around 40K pound of pine hauled off for $100. That always makes me smile. Dude runs his own saw mill, runs an old pulpwood truck and says he will take pretty much anything I can give him.

    Thats not a lawn mower, its the horizontal hedge trimmer implement , no one would dare try to cut grass with that , they would be afraid of how silly they would look ...

    Dayum,That old girl didn't look that heavy the first time I saw her[ wish I had a buck for every time I said that lol ]

    Still a helluva cool truck.

    Maybe it's a 4x4. Funny cuz my aspy forestry had a whole chip box on it too and was rated at 33K. Not denying that it's classed at 31K, but it does seem heavy considering it's not designed to carry a payload.

    I think the most productive thing that I did today was realize that the tongue of my chipper was more 3/4 cracked from bottom to top on both sides , if the tongue had given way the chipper would have come completely loose of the truck since the chains are ahead of where it cracked , I mean seriously a loose chipper other than the break controller slowing it down it surely wouldn't be good .. the area where the crack was, was along side of a vertical weld that was almost 6 inches I mean scary ..
