Good morning Kenneth and John!!!
Morning, fellas! It is a beautiful 70˚outside. Been bustin my butt on a ditch digging around roots project, and we are ready for the next phase. Halfway thru the coffee, and I blee vowel have me some vitamin I today. (ibuprofen)
Nice to be outside working hard, though.

The other day a huge mulberry split to the ground in the next block, unbeknownst to me. I hear a saw running, and wander over there, and a guy has cut up what had to be a 16-18" thick half of a tree, and had made it to the last cut. Using a Stihl 025 on some of the hardest wood in KS. I could tell it was ready for a sharpening, but it was stihl going, even though it was a job for a larger pro saw.


Orange and white forever :rock:

Hope everybody has a great day!

Got my little 1954 fiber king back on the water yesterday too! The cats just love the nasty stinking perch I let set out in the sun !

Sad day for us and the hoskeys. Our mailman and friend and neighbor was killed in a traffic accident today. I always stopped by on the way to the hoskeys and said hi. His dad lived with him (92 I think) he is a bachelor and a farmer. He was always happy and a nice guy to seal with and deeply will be missed.

God-willing his pain was brief. He's definitely not hurting now and I pray that there is an amicable solution for his Father's care. You shouldn't ever have your children go before you do...

So when/where is the next charity cut (GTG)? I was showing Dad the pictures from some in the past and we'd both like to come lend a hand/saw/splitter/back if we can. I'd also like to try Sam-tip's 395 and 3120... :chainsaw:
My next one will be wky and I do believe the 3120 will be there. Rumors of a fall charity cut gtg have been floating around for waukee again but that has yet to be determined.
