The "Not So Pro" discussion thread...of course Pros are welcome!

Slowp, I know what you're thinking. Well, you can just forget it, okay? I know you're coming down here to do some cutting with us and I know it's California and all, but there is no way...no way at all...that we're going to wear frilly blouses. Especially frilly blouses in that particular color. It's an egregious fashion faux pas to wear a color that clashes so badly with the color of our chaps.

Farmer hate? Hardly. We're just jealous...we want to find a way to get paid for not growing trees the way the farmer gets paid for not growing crops.

And where do we go to sign up for crop subsidies on our timber...and who do we see about crop insurance....and which agency do we talk to about price supports and, well you get the idea.

You live in a house made from straw bales and corn stalks?

Oh? On this side of the rock farmers don't eat or feed their livestock if they can't grow crops. We're not talking apple orchards here pops :msp_rolleyes:

We could argue about this, a lot.

But then Id have to move this to political, and no one wants that.

Lets just say if it were all roses, everyone would be doing it. That statement goes for loggers too...

Forgot- I live in a trailer house. Gawd knows what the crappy particle board it mostly consists of is really made of...

 

[Gologit]

not workin today mr bob.

Nope, playing hooky. We're all done, just cleaning up. I went up this morning for awhile and made sure the self loader we hired to clean up landings got everything, and he did, so there's not much left to do. A few waterbars, fix a couple of gates, and I'm done for the winter. Feels good.

Macerated Ecological Fundamentalists, or just eco-board for short.

A favorite song of mine:

John Mellencamp - Rain On The Scarecrow - LIVE @ Farm Aid 2008 - YouTube

It don't matter whether we are dropping trees, fighting wars, growing crops, punching keyboards, etc. I'm sure we can all relate to having the rug pulled out from under us and/or feeling betrayed by someone or govt body at some stage.
