See a few around me that has or had some sort of flu or bad cold, gets bad when it gets down in the respiratory tract. Escaped it so far but winter is not over yet, far too many people cooped up inside for far too long during winter.

I watched a good many try to kick that nasty addiction, it is an addiction and as such is very difficult to get off that drug that the body craves so severely. Only a couple of people managed to kick the addiction and stay away for good. Many tried, often with good results for periods of time but they would just try one at a bar or dance etc and then be right back on them again. Tobacco companies spent large fortunes figuring out what to put in them things to keep people addicted to them.

Philip Morris managed to grow it with stronger **** in it to get people more hooked on them . Out right lied till the paper work to prove it came out . They greased the right hands for many years to keep things going there way ! Finally starting to hurt them a little , but never put them out , way to much money stihl getting paid out to the right people . They should all be charged and put away for good for the crap they did ! Gov is making them pay , but only the gov gets the money , very very few got anything from that suit ! So its just the same as ever , money stihl going to the few in the government ! I better quit before I get myself real mad . LOL Such total BS all it is !

All tobacco companies did that same thing and they also added stuff to them during the time of manufacture. They all pay off whoever it takes to keep them in business, they have very deep pockets.

Yep my time ain't that valuable....but more valuable than that.......I was happy to get $25 a cord and hardest thing I did was take the pics!!!! LOL!!!

Nice skidder, ugly wood. Popple grew to very nice size around here, no one ever wasted fuel cutting them down unless they were in the way of getting worthwhile wood out of the woods. We had them over 36" dia at the stump and 45 - 50 feet of clear stem but never cut one of them down. They rot off at ground level and fall over, just leave em there to make woodpecker fodder.
