Feeling Peeved at Fallers Do Not Read If Sensitive

[slowp]

Let me see, the men who use chainsaws to get trees on the ground made today's job a bit harder. So, the hooktender, who was also peeved, as his job was a little harder too, told me this gem.

A faller is nothing but a truckdriver with a chainsaw.

Sounds like a good signature line to me.

 

[hammerlogging]

Well, it made me laugh. I didn't know the loggers were so quick witted....

I think latter portion of your title needs to be on every thread. That should take care of some of the recent issues

That does it! Now you've hurt my feelings.
Oh wait, I'm not a faller anymore. I've been demoted to thinning contractor in New Mexico (cutter at best).
Ok, carry on.

Some of the best fallers I ever knew went on to be some of the best truck drivers I ever knew. Maybe it was in the blood already?

I believe it was what brand of truck you prefer to drive....

 

[RandyMac]

Leave a few Russian connections in your jackstraw pile. Oh, be sure to high stump.

 

[cpr]

Yeah, and truck drivers are like refridgerators... Close the door and the lights go out!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

[slowp]

Mmmmm, be nice because today, the fal:msp_rolleyes: oops truckdrivers were having to chain up.:coffee::bowl:late:

I was plowing along Hwy 20 by Colusa, when the I-H I was driving sucked an owl into the intake scoop, what a mess.

So it is all your fault that Spotted Owls are endangered?

Way to ruin it for the rest of us, Randy!

Maybe it was a pheasant. A spotted pheasant.

Now slowp, don't read this if you're sensitive, but maybe you should resign that nice .gov job and (first) teach all them stupid fallers how to do it right, and then (second) teach all them stupid truckdrivers how to run over gubmint workers without bending the chrome.

What would the GOL guys have to say about this thread?

 

[Samlock]

Oh, no. I have sailed enough in the ferries loaded with the truckdrivers to say, this statement is a good one, but not true.

A faller is nothing but a truckdriver with a chainsaw.

Sitting and drinking few hours with a bunch drivers is an exhausting experience. They are always driving. And they have an annoying habit to classify all the non-drivers as bums.

They and their so called salaries.

I would say all the loggers I know are knotheads more or less. But to have that kind of one track mind... well, the truck drivers are their own kind.

 

[RandyMac]

Knotheads?

 

[Samlock]

Yes, if I understand the term right, a knothead is "Someone who only learns by suffering and/or sad experience".

That is how we all ended up in the woods, didn´t we?

 

[RandyMac]

Do I know you?
