Christmas is coming

[Spotted Owl]

What would be fun, needed, reality, and just plain ole wanted or dreamed about, for you?

Fun. To be able to have a good stable full of equipment to play with. SOME days I would rather play trucks than run saws
Needed. A new pair of corks.....Already on their way.
Reality. A new 046 and a couple new bars after last weekend.
Plain ole wanted. "Slinger"ization of my saws.

Anyone else?

Fun: Maybe a new bow for my fiddle. Good ones are spendy.
Needed: A new refrigerator one of these days. Shelves are collapsing in the abused one that I sort of fixed up.
Reality: A non-motorized pole saw. Non-motorized because they are lighter and still work well.
Wanted: Insulation for metal shop building and waterproofed floor.

 

[Jacob J.]

Fun- To have a body that doesn't make unwanted, involuntary sounds throughout the day.
Needed- Several new teeth.
Reality- a used pickup, several good running saws, fell over 4,000 hazard trees this summer
Plain ole wanted- the ability to differentiate my needs from my wants, the wisdom of old age and the vigor of youth.

 

[Gologit]

Fun...a 600 Stearman and somebody paying the gas bill.
Needed...several joints. No, not that kind, the kind that don't snap crackle and pop on cold mornings.
Reality...a new 661. Yeah, yeah, I know...but this will really be the last saw I ever buy.
Plain ol' wanted...I'll have to give that some thought. I've been very fortunate...and lucky.

[Joe46]

A nice camper for my truck
I have more saws that I'll ever use
And really the big one. Wished my wife of 45 years was still in the home with me. Damn Alzheimers!

I hope you get your wish Joe! Is she at a care facility? If so, you can always bring Christmas to her.

 

[floyd]

But she won't remember it. Bummer

 

[Joe46]

She is in a private home setting. Floyd is correct. She has early onset which progresses rapidly. She still recognizes me, but not as her husband. I'm just a good guy who visits her.

 

[2dogs]

Fun...Mossberg MVP Patrol
Needed... A new transmission for the Dodge
Reality... A new roof for the shop
Wanted...Same as Owl. And whirled peas

 

[OlympicYJ]

Fun: Get the old 288 running and an AR with 10,000 rounds to burn.

Needed: A million bucks to pay for school; and buy horses, trucks, trailers, & shinies for the girlfriend. She's really not that demanding btw.

Reality: Debt, no free money, and poping the question to the GF.

Plain Ole Wanted: Be done with school and have lots of job offers. Next Christmas!

You're too young! If'n you do, good luck with her reply

 

[northmanlogging]

don't let husk scare ya... tying the knot taint so bad, unless you're trying to marry some former miss america hopeful, that you know is a psycho hose beast, out to drain you of you're sole and manhood...

 

[HuskStihl]

Don't let NorthMan comfort you....Marriage is a full time job, and treating it as anything less is asking for trouble. I have been married for 15 years, mostly happily, but it doesn't just work by itself. Watch out for babies. They are ridiculously expensive, and give you and your wife lots of new things to fight about. I like to say I intentionally didn't have kids until I could afford them, but truth be told, no self-respecting woman would make babies with me until I had some money

 

[OlympicYJ]

I'm probably older than you think Husk, and not saying I know it all cuz I don't but I have a very good handle on what I'm getting into. Plus there's no fear of rejection, we've already discussed it

North. She's no Miss America or a life draining tick so I'm good to go!

 

[northmanlogging]

Damn husk, she might be reading this stuff you know...

Any way I'm at 6+ years things are pretty damn good (at least from my point of view)...
You will let us know what she says right.... right...
