There's a joke in there somewhere. Probably something to do with an Australian
I, uh, see what you did there.
Ever meet or take a class from Cmdr Camara?
Name sounds awful familiar. Woulda had to be either that Sea-Returnee mustang LT in the Physics dept or one of the DIO's. I went through NNPS in '99.
Familiarity may have been from the name on the textbooks, as John Camara wrote some of the Navy nuclear textbooks. He retired and now working for the big bucks at the local aerospace company. Had the opportunity to work some with him at Pearl and on some other projects.

Chairin'em for the sound
Nope! Nor madhatte or Templar, ropensaddle or northman, Two chains or Cfaller, rounder or imaginero or roberte
I owe these men, so I'll ask you to set me on fire in their place:biggrin:

LOL!!! I was referencing something our friend RandyMac said to someone recently here on AS. No offense intended.
He has a way of getting his point across in very few words. For further proof see my sig line (it was said to a member wanting to use chains, and straps on a split tree).

I was kidding as well, I remember randy asking if he could light a gentleman on fire who asked if a saw cut better closer to the motor!
I'm feeling sappy towards the loggers (pun!) due to their recent awesomeness towards me. See the "trajectile dysfunction" thread in the logging forum for a great example of people helping an idiot, and refraining from flaming him even though well deserved.
Keep that brain for yourself! DSS and Thomas will just break it if you let them handle it too much!

They are really decent to people asking "important" questions that genuinely want to learn. Someday I'll make it to a GTG of the West Coast folks. Gologit (Bob) put up a link a while back pertaining to proper felling that was really amazing.
Now that I live in Utah I don't think I'll get to use my saws much, it being a desert, and all......LOL!
Point taken on keeping The Brain for myself.

I shot myself threw 3 fingers with a nail gun and set my left arm on fire once. Some how the darwinian theories have skipped over me or just havent caught up with me yet. So far on my first piece of timber I have gotten on my own I cut and pulled 3600 feet in 2 half days of work. In relation to this teaching thread, I seem to be having trouble getting some of these guys in my area to give me much advice.

That sounds like a slow morning for AS member 'Genius' (Ross)..............LOL!!! His foul ups are legendary.
Just another reason why AS is so great.
I've been in local saw shops around here to buy stuff, and they act like they're bothered to sell me parts.
You are now the competition... Don't expect any advice, especially not good advice. Some may come your way, but don't count on it. If you really get into trouble they'll be the first to help out, but its dog eat dog, and everyone is looking for a leg up.
I hate to sound cynical, just going from my own experience. Seems most guys told me "there's no money in logging" and that's about it.
Few of the old codgers had some good advice, mostly about paying your debt off and maintaining your equipment, few good tricks for pulling logs, not much in the falling dept though...

Cutting saw logs and what grade a log is and where I should cut it. I got so frustrated earlier today I have these red oak on this job I was going to get some help to cut as I dont want to split them or pull out long stringers, so I just went ahead and started cutting. I figure learn by doing instead of talk or scratching me arse and looking. I made out ok I did not split any but pulled some stringers on one.
