    WHAT HAVE I DONE? Pros: tell me abot your new guys!

    That's hilarious! I was actually in a ditch though, I'm pretty sure I'd be in big trouble were I in the bed. They moved the chipper and the guys were on such a roll they just kept shoveling it. I was moving along briskly, guess I went a bit too far. I was a good ways away from the chute though...

    WHAT HAVE I DONE? Pros: tell me abot your new guys!

    I took a 12 question test and watched a 15 minute video. It was worse than drivers ed. Sounds like BC loves their training and certification! Mike, this emergency override business has not been mentioned, I will ask about it tomorrow. No broken chippers today, but I got a nice chip shower.

    WHAT HAVE I DONE? Pros: tell me abot your new guys!

    No tree: thanks seriously I hadn't really thought about that worrying about getting hit by falling limbs but I will definelty pay attention. Wolf: No he was chipping as well and he did give me a run down on the machine. I just didn't know he had throttled it down and forgot to look. I had muffs...

    WHAT HAVE I DONE? Pros: tell me abot your new guys!

    First day. Power line work. Long day, very wet and muddy, but at least the weather was beautiful. Broke the chipper before lunch too, but it was an honest mistake. Guy said chuck this crap in the chipper and I did. It wasn't throttled up and made rope inside of it out of a bunch of saplings...

    Feeler thread WTB 60cc Jonny/Husky

    I'll think it over for sure. Don't want to turn this thread into a "which saw to buy" thing but good ideas none the less. Hoping for a 2260 or some 60cc class Jonny. Anyone?

    If You Post Pics of Your Girlfriend then So Will I.

    She looks great in Red. The girl is a neat addition to the picture. She's nice looking, but I have one already.

    WHAT HAVE I DONE? Pros: tell me abot your new guys!

    Good advice. I'm the kind of guy who likes to get the work done ASAP so I can go home as opposed to waiting around since "we're gonna be here all day anyway". Good news, going to be nearly 40 tomorrow! One less thing to worry about on a first day, and since I'll be up a little late tonight for...

    Feeler thread WTB 60cc Jonny/Husky

    Used not a real problem if they aren't worked to death. Minor cosmetics aren't a huge problem but broken stuff I'd rather not deal with. I'd like to save a little money, but when I do actually buy I'm willing to spend a bit more to avoid headaches and BS. 575 might be a bit big for my needs...

    Thanks for the tip! 2260 does sound ideal for me. I'm open to other ideas, but I really like anything that says TURBO on it!

    Feeler thread WTB 60cc Jonny/Husky

    Ideally wanting a 2260, 2258 maybe works. Husky 562xp ver' nice, but a bit pricey. Maybe consider other 60cc stuff but these are what I'm looking for mostly. I have been drooling over 2172s and 2188s but forced myself to admit that I don't need to spend that kind of money when I'll get to put a...

    It warmed up... I'm sweatin'

    I introduced a fella from PA to an Allens sombrero once. He polished off a handle and two jugs of milk, ain't been the same since. When I was in high school my buddy and I beer bonged a bottle of this stuff. Ugly things happened. Oh, Al and I have been to the same party a few times, it is sure.

    Hobby Carving (some pictures)

    I really dig this wood carving stuff, wish I had any artistic talent. I tried to carve a chess piece out of a pine stump once. Started out going to be a rook, then a pawn, then became a bishop. It was not appropriate for display and was burned. Oh and I could definitely see that bench on my...

    Not sure yet. Unlikely on the first day, since the crew has been working without me for a week now anyway. I will be starting there and they are moving another guy to a different site from what I gather.

    What You Should Do If You Get Hurt in the Woods When Alone

    If you like the CAT style tourniquets, look for the ones where windlass and retainers are metal instead of plastic and can be carried longer and take more pressure. I keep a few around. They are more pricey but well worth it. Keep CATS wrapped in their plastic as long as possible and out of...
