A deer season neighbor (AKA guy who has a camp nearby and is in residence primarily during deer season) came by last night and dropped off a chain grinder for me to borrow.....Gave me a 5 or so minute explanation on how it works...Having never run one before I should be able to wreck a few chains (and hopefully sharpen a few otheres)...(insert popcorn)

I know I have said this before....I HATE HEDGE! F. M. Running! Like cutting concrete with a rubber band. Then I get into it, next to a pin oak that still has leaves, couldn't see the branch that was woven together with a hackberry tree. Brutal day. Easy box elder today........I hope
A lot of complaining ..... Just saying let's change that diaper

Got bit today clearing brush. Going too fast, not paying attention. Just a scratch, but it got me thinking about wearing chaps, at least throughout the winter...

I can't stand wearing them , but they are important. After seeing your leg I will throw mine on tomorrow , it's so cold that what's the extra layer gonna hurt . Be smart any thing you can do to be a bit safer matters I think

I have the "cheap" husky saw pants and they aren't too bad for mobility. Can get pretty hot in the summer. Don't wear them as often as I should but thanks for the reminder, Ryan. Stay safe out there guys.

Being careful in the first place is always the main thing though. I can certainty see where a bit of extra tardproofing would be a good idea for some members though. Lol

Well, if we were all perfect and could control our surroundings with 100% surety, then there would be no need for PPE in the first place, now would there? ;-)

He spends the better part of his day with a tractor stuck to his ass or in the bucket the only chaps he needs are the assless kind he wears in the back room of the bingo hall

Borrowed a chain grinder from a friend....Have never run one before but sharpened 14 loops with it yesterday.....today will likely determine how badly I screwed up my chains......
