Tough Titties Abuser, at least you get to drink it this morning, I'm going in for a procedure, and can't have anything. My wife made a pot, and will take a turean with her, so I can have some in the recovery room........
I hope everything goes as planned. I'll have a cup for you as well!:drinkingcoffee:
 
Ah, you mean like this...

I boxed up some noodles to give me some firestarter before Cowgirl dug it all into her horticultural compound. The 1,000kg bag was full after my candelbark noodling before she started stealing it :rolleyes:
Wow! 1000kg of noodles! That must be a big bag! :lol:

Congratulations :clap:.
It's amazing that people still have these bundles of joy, almost like it's how things are meant to be :).

Basically their pronouns.

No.
Just figured I should reply rather than just like the post, don't want to get in trouble again lol.

Same.
I've seen the guys use them to knock out the face(which can be done with the slegde) and put them into the back cut as an indicator so they can tell when the tree starts to fall(which can be done with a wedge on the size trees I usually cut).
I need to buy another small estwing for driving wedges, the one I lost was nice for it and it was very compact so it fit well in the top of my tool box. Maybe one that's a bit bigger wouldn't come up missing though 🤔.
What do you use the large wreaking bar for?
The wrecking bar usually stays in the truck but I've used it to rescue pinched bars, stuck rounds, lever up a trunk etc.
 
Hmmmm. I ordered a Dremel and some sharpening stones from Oregon. They got here and I went out to sharpen all of my chains to get ready to get after it, after our fresh 16" melts. And low and behold, I've been sharpening my chains with the wrong size file????

I've been using a 7/32" file on my 3/8" chain forever. On all of my chains for years. I normally buy Oregon, but wanted some NOW, and not have to wait for them to come via shipping, so I went to the Stihl shop and bought some. And these are supposed to take 13/64"? Oh well, I've never had a problem with my chains or sharpening. I'm guessing that the 7/32" just gives me a deeper gullet and a thinner hook?

I use 7/32 on my Stihl chains after a few sharpenings . 13/64 will give you supposedly a faster cut but won’t last as long .

Depends on chain brand. Stihl calls for 13/64. Oregon and some others call for 7/32 on 3/8 size chain.
