Yep, the rumor here is that several years back a bow hunter shot a deer that ran up and dropped dead next to some kids waiting on the school bus. Then we have a married couple who are always circulating petitions and hounding the county commissioners to expand the no shooting zone in the more densely housed neighborhoods. These assholes piss me off mightily, as hunting was strong here long before they arrived. They even got the commissioners to rule that bows and crossbows count as "firearms," so as to prevent bowhunting in most of the district. Good news is that hunting is allowed on private property (while a huge part of our district is national forest, where the no-hunting can be enforced).

Sad times we live in brother, sad times indeed.
You know I've already done it right, I was the one who brought it up
You mean like Facebook or is it LifeLog
.But I'm sure it's all for our own good
. That little 3.5 sure looked fun. How many hrs did you put into it to get the top all cleared off.
That's what I'm talking about.
My guys do a good amount of butchering, hundreds of chickens at a time with some friends in the fall.
Here's an old picture, when you said the deer leg thing it's what came to mind.
Reminds me of one time cutting a field of oats hay (late May, early June?), I saw something odd between the windrows behind me. Found a fawn that the swather had neatly decapitated. Searched but could not find the head. But that perfect, soft-haired little body was without defect, still curled up where momma had left it. At dinner I brought it home to show the kids, toddler up to 8 or 10 yr-olds I seem to recall. My wife thought it a terrible thing to show them, like they'd be traumatized. None of them remember it now.
The last 20 years have been the biggest data mining/spying operation on citizens in the history of the world. Can you say Patriot Act?You know I've already done it right, I was the one who brought it up

I have about 2.5 hours into tearing the top off. Book time is almost 14 hours. Not a bad job, just lots of ancillary stuff to take off to get to the engine.
Good post CB, but what bothers me is the hypocrites out there that talk "green" but don't accomplish it.
If you look at the facts, Trump reduced CO-2 emissions by 25% over Obama/Biden, and that is huge! Conversely, Biden increased CO-2 emissions 6.5% his first year in office (before the war with Ukraine and Russia started).
The reason is simple, under Trump almost all of our electric was generated with Natural Gas, which is much cleaner than oil or coal. When Biden restricted natural gas production, we started using oil and coal to generate our electric again.
I could go on, but that is the major gist of it. There seems to be more talk about going green than action, and if the pollution is in someone else's backyard, it seems like it is not important even though they say it is a global problem.
I also think that addressing water pollution is under rated. Even though many waterways are much cleaner now (as you have noted), there are basically no waters (fresh or salt) where it is safe to eat the fish harvested on a regular basis. That is a real shame, as fish should be an important part of a healthy diet.

How do you like the new hexa chain?
The "useless gimmick" was my impression when I unboxed it. Gonna give it an honest try maybe Wed. Tomorrow it is back to the dealer. They sold me the wrong spare battery - looks the same but It won't fit into the charger and the contacts on it aren't even near the same. I hate to lose the day tomorrow as the next weekhas "showers" almost every day.
I'll try it out on my spruce trees that need lower limbs removed.
We had a letter in our local paper complaining about my neighbor butchering out a cow. "kids on the school bus could see that...". My aching A$$. This is rural farm country and if a kid hasn't seen that they haven't been looking.
Here everybody who has a pig goat etc butchers them at home, the kids here help, no mamby pamby people here.

Saw this setup (on LinkedIn of all places) this morning which removes the drudgery of turning the winch handle:
hi chipper - good to know! i always thot the lil guy just rolled his eyes and looked up at ceiling!Maybe I just misread the original post.
You should know by now I'm not into twisting peoples words, if I do I will highlight what I change and say "fixed" with this guy looking up at the previous post.
That being said, at least I got that mistake out of the way for the month.
posts? still got a few more to set.
I thought it cut pretty good. Not sure if I could tell much difference between it and a new standard chain. It held up pretty good on that hard ash. Will be putting the file to it today to see how the hexa file works.
Not sure what that one is. A buddy gave me a couple that used to shoot competition. I just had a customer ask me how I have my wood so uniform when we were loading the wood he was getting.
hundreds huh?? WOW!! this lil side yard operation made quick the process..... the grated device is the de-featherer. plucking a bird is not exactly fun. pre-preps did include some time in hot water, as in hand plucking. actually, the entire flock was in hot water!!! lol. demise day but moments away... then to the freezer, pot or grill. the brother of my av flock had picked up about 100! and at $7.00 butchered, they were going fast. overalll, a bit on the raw side, if u will pardon the pun. here is a bit of a foto essay on the subject from couple days back. once those feathers started flying, reminded me of a crew of arborists making chunks... chips, chickendust and a few feathers!! just some country boys at work!
.fresh off the grill...
