Hi, Jim !

Wood Wh@re
Good morning right back at ya! Contrary to what you Mo guys might think, there's some good folks up here north of you too. I'll bump this by noting that I am posting from fabulous southern California. It feels like I am on another planet as I can barely identify every fourth tree I see here. Big eucs, tall palms and all sorts of other plants about which I have no clue. Overall, it is amazing to see the sheer girth of these woody plants. Saw one yesterday growing streetside that would have required Shaun's new extenda-bar. Must have been 6 feet across that monster! Enjoy that cold and snow now fellas.......

We can't stop here, this is bat country.
Nawww... just use a 36" and the classic spiral stump approach. :msp_biggrin:
I was there a few months ago and I so wanted to drop some of those big eucs. Up around Santa Maria there are a lot of gnarly oaks that need to be cut but Cali law won't let you touch them.

I guess I will have to keep bumping this thread until I get Mikey straightened out. I think he needs a trip to the wood shed,to teach him some respect for his elders. I did have a good phone conversation with him yesterday. Looking forward to seeing a bunch of you guys at Hedgerow's. If the weather cooperates,it should be one to remember. Saw safe and keep the shiney side up. Later Jim

You will have to forgive them Jim. They seem to be a quiet lot.

Are you planning on staightening me out with something Stumpbroke?? Gimme your best shot!!! :tongue2:

Individualy yes,but at a gtg they chatter like a bunch of chipmunks.
I admit it. It's mine. Will take delivery of saw at the GTG. Still have no bar for it. I just left the saw shop with no bar. I did not think I could handle the 60 inch husky bar. It was a pretty orange. Plus the saw and bar would be taller than I am. Waiting for 50" bar. Back ordered until June.
It really bug's you that I won't tell you what model saw it is.:msp_tongue: Kenneth,Stumpy don't you tell him.

Hopefully someone cuts out...

I've got something on the bench that'll hopefully change that :big_smile: just wondering you talked to stumpy today?

I suppose we can be a bit quiet, but mostly just stinking tired and too busy! Mark and I have been working 10 hour days and 6 days a week since Christmas------just doesnt leave a lot of time for other things. Our kids have been helping Grandpa with some of the farm chores since we have been gone so much. Good thing Mike, Alex, and Shaun were willing to help out and get some trees ready to pull out or we wouldnt have much to cut on the 27th. It sounds like working on Saturdays has come to and end, so that will help!
Hopefully this weather gets better so we can get more done around the place and get some things set up. We have requested a nice 50-60 degree day with a light breeze and no liquid sunshine.:hmm3grin2orange:
Later, Ron
Morning Ron,it's winter wonderland here this morning. Dont take my posts too seriously, I just enjoy yanking Mikey's chain once in a while.:msp_smile: I can relate to the hours you have been working. One time at the can plant where I worked we were scheduled for seven twelve's for three months. You got to where you didn't care what day it was,just what time it was. It's good the kids are old enough to pick up some of the slack. Familys that work and play together,stay to together through thick and thin. Kudos to Mike,Alex and Shaun for their help. These GTG's seem to be getting bigger and bigger,a lot of people don't realize the amount of work and money involved in hosting one of these events. Say hello to Grandpa and Mark for me and I will see you in April,Lord willing and the crick don't rise.

As long as we don't have to spend all of our time getting mike and his wood hauler hotrod unstuck!! Sorry mike, its rare I can take a jab at ya so when the opportunity presents its self I'm taking it!
