Frequently much like that

Ahh, the people who probably want to stop tree cutting are trying unsuccessfully to look like those who cut. This is in the chainsaw forum. They don't look like our local loggers.

Hmmm...maybe I can sell some of those old hickory shirts with the frayed collars and scraped-through right shoulders that are stained black so bad that it won't wash out but I keep them around anyway for just in case?. Or some authentic logger sox with only a few holes in them? How 'bout some old black jeans with more mend spots than original fabric? Broken suspenders? I have a few broken axe handles and hunks of Spencer tape I'd let go real cheap.
The wife has been after me to toss that stuff in the garbage but I see a money maker here.
By God maybe there's a way to make a profit in this business yet.


Oh, wait a minute. They're talking about LUMBERJACKS, not loggers. Just what the hell is a lumberjack, anyway? There's a restaurant chain out here called Lumberjacks but none of the loggers I know ever eat there...too many tourists and the food is bland like Denny's but more expensive. There was a building supply store chain with that name for awhile but they went broke.

I think lumberjacks are the guys on the chainsaw forum? I have my swap meet Mac T that I could let go for say $250?

If by "falling" you mean "falling over", then feel free to PM me. I don't have as much ladder experience as Bob, but I've fallen over plenty!

That's just mean. I haven't fallen off a ladder in over a year.
Be nice to me today. Later this morning the wife and I are going shopping for some things for the new house. Translated, that means I'll be pushing the shopping cart up one aisle and down the next through a variety of stores all day and nodding my head and making appropriate approval responses while she spends an inordinate amount of time comparing drapery patterns and floor vent register designs.
Why am I going? You married guys already know the answer. It's for my input in the whole process. Riiiiiight. Said input consisting of grunting and nodding my head at appropriate times.

 

[RandyMac]

While you are shopping, find us some second growth to kill.

 

[HuskStihl]

I'm sorry Bob,
u'r in a no-win situation for sure today. It's gonna chair or its gonna pull the root-wad. Take u'r pick. From experience, never say "I don't care" even one time during the shopping trip.

Come up to my house. I've got some gnarly, limb locked junk that should be made to hit the ground. Perhaps the next alder seminar??

We're shopping in Auburn and...yecchhhh!.... Sacramento. There probably is a lot to kill in Sacramento but it ain't trees and I don't want to go to jail.

Yup...that's good advice. Very good advice.
Okay, I've drug my feet long enough. Gotta go. The wife is hovering near the door making impatient noises.
Where's my Valium?

You could rent a booth at the Packwood garage sale or the Randle fire station.

I kinda like that idea. Randle is cheaper to rent. According to the renters, there is less shoplifting at the Randle encampment.
