I drop mostly live oak cut them and split them write where they fall. Then trailer it out to the pile or truck. Once split, wood dries faster then a year. Iv had dried wood in 6month in the middle of the field in 90 degre weather for a few months workes wonders.

Used to be a bunch of those in my town when I was in college. The hairy underarm crew.......complete with the attendant odors.

Oh boy. My 2000th post, and it's about hairy underarms. I need help........LOL

This one takes it a step further an wears gallons of cheap perfume.. She is a cat person, so you do catch a whiff of cat urine every so often.

Kinda glad she wont be around anymore, Im tired of having to put the plastic on the furniture...:monkey:

The best part would have been if the tree-hugger went in and saw a real pine tree sitting in the livingroom

We did have a real tree sitting on a spike stand in the living room...she never mentioned it however, that is odd I hadnt thought of that.

Our stand is a Rebar Tri-pod, about 34" across, with a rise in the center about 1". The 3 legs are joined by a 3" long Hardened steel tool such as you'd use on an end mill. We hammer the thing into the dead center of the tree and it always stands it straight up...My Grandfather made it back in 1950 when he worked for Warner/Swayze in Lansing.

Her version...We sodomized that poor defensless sapling:dizzy:

Great response!

"The Garage of mass destruction", "Carport of Carnage", "The Den of Doom".
LOL!!!

Ya gotta love the fact that these folks manage to exist despite the overwhelming logic that surrounds them.

Give it time. Your family will recover from thier loss of thier reality challenged friend.

Stay safe!

Good friend of my family was over during Christmas, and we are pretty informal after the presents are opened, and the meal has been consumed, usually me and my cousins ride gokarts, or play Video Games, do something fun..ya know?

Well I was trying to pull one of my Gokarts out of my storage shed, which is where I store all my saws as well. The family freind walks out there to tell me bye, and she looks into the shed and sees 3 rows that go the length of the shed of chainsaws..she turns pale and gives me the filthiest look anyone has ever given me in my life. Even filthier than that one time the neighbor caught me trying to take a peak down her shirt...but anyways..

She is a tree Hugger. She is one of those stupid people that tie themselves to trees. She drives a Geo Metro covered in Green-peace, and recycle stickers.

She starts yelling at me about how Im a murderer...Me and my cousin just looked at each other and chuckled..but she was very serious. She said I had a shed full of tree killers, more than she had seen in any one place at the same time. She said that she needed to leave before she got angry and called up her friends...I asked her if she wanted to run my Echo and help shorten some firewood. I picked it up and held it up to her. She turned around and went inside...3 minutes later my family comes out and they are all pi$$y at me wanting to know what Id said to make her so angry..she said she is never coming out ever again, she is through with "us".

Oh well, no great loss. If she only knew how few trees my stash had actually killed...she wouldnt have been near as mad...:laugh:

It is sad that people exist that will never know the FUN of running a chainsaw...It's even sadder that people exist that love trees enough that they want to waste an arbosrist/tree surgeons time.

Eventually the tree will fall...Even if the Police have to get involved, so why fight it?

So did you look down her shirt or not?

I wonder if she will change her tune when she parks her Geo/Prius/Accord/SmartCar/Whatever under a dead rotten tree and a windstorm comes up, blows it over and flattens her car like a pop can.

Or the fact that materials used to make the tires also comes partically from trees...including rubber elsewhere in the car.

or the papers in the owners manual...

sand that has been used to cast the engine block....

the list goes on...

I'de like to sleep with her, ya' know opposites attract they say :greenchainsaw:

There's a stigma attached to chainsaws among the common moron, they either see them as murder weopons via slasher movies, or tree killers.

Pick up a copy of Fur-Fish-Game Magazine.

Buy her a year subscription for christmas.

Order some fox urine while you have the FFG out. Put it in a Chanel bottle and give her that for her birthday.
