    SAFTY Chaps saved one of my guy's legs

    Well chalk up another leg saved by chaps today. One of my guys trimming a tree for fire wood got his left leg mid thigh. Chaps stopped the saw and worked great. I would estimate a savings of $40K. Not bad for a pair of $60 chaps. I have pics of the chaps I can text. Ray

Ran the 32" bar better than the 25". I might mention that with a 25" I was running a 8 pin and with the 32" I dropped...

    BTW about the stickers. About 2 years ago I had a limb come down and hurt my back. So I decided to get my kids names tattooed on my arms. So the way I look at the stickers now is a way of thinking about my little ones.

    Stihl 661

    Well got my 661 today. Ran a tank through it. I love it. Stronger than my built 660 and 066. That's the good news. Brought it home didn't think nothing about it. Was making dinner and my 4y/o son comes in and says "look at your new saw daddy". My 5y/o daughter put her stickers all over it. $1100...

    Logging Contracts

    Here is how I do it in Ohio. The contract varies from job to job. But more or less it is a 70/30 split. Unless I have to do somthing with the tops. Then it could go as far as 40/60. I would sell off all the blocking to which ever mill is paying the highest. That gives the logger pocket money to...
