    what is the least likely thing to happen.

    WOW!!!!! I can’t believe the reactions of some people. I’ve had harassing and deceptive phone calls, rude e-mails, and now I log on, (for the first time in a few months except to remove my address) and find death threats, arson threats, and lots of rude things being said about me. And...

    horse logging?

    I wish there were some available for hire around here. It would be a great low impact means for moving logs and brush on certain jobs. I graduated from Paul Smith's when they still taught horse skidding. ( boy, that makes me sound old, of course T82 and R.W. were in diapers then) Thought...

    I,ve been using Zenith knives for a few years with no disapointments. Almost got another brand to try until the dealer told me that they were 75% more money. I can't imagine that there is that much diffenence.

    hemlock and the wooly adelgid

    Aggie, Yes, soil moisture is needed for proper uptake of soil applications. If natural soil moisture is not available then the trees should be watered. It is usually not difficult, in the landscape, to provide supplemental watering. Foiliar applications do not have the same systemic...

    Bad day

    I'm not sure of the whole story so there my be some mis-information. I believe that it is a state run logging operation and they were playing with our tax dollars. The buildings are abandoned as you can see in this picture.

    Chipper Knives

    Jeff, When you made the Knives, did you make the center of the blades (where the bolts holes are) a softer hardness than the edges? The holes need to have some "give" so the badles don't shatter. Many used blades have mushed holes. I have a blade that mushed badly after an encounter with...

    chipper dump trailer

    Years ago I worked for a company that had one. It was made by Promark which was bought by Gravley I believe. It was a 6" chipper that was mounted to a tray so you could swing it to either side of the trailer. You could also swing about 90 degrees with the truck still attached. The benifit was...
