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

[slowp]

I do have a friend who insisted her hubby to be get out of logging before they got married. She wanted to see him more. He did, started up a construction business and they've been married for many years with the last kid now in college. Note the word BEFORE. She knew what he did and insisted on change BEFORE. He still works hard and partly on Saturdays, but he is home at predictable times. The guy is a keeper and he still does some logging when they have ground to clear.

people really need to accept others for who n what they are, not what they wish they were.

Well....my boss just came over to check on me and my Family...he brought me a huge propane heater and two big bottles of propane! Damn! I'm a little embarrassed but I am so happy to have it! That's a good person right there! He knew I was in trouble and came and helped me! I am so appreciative!

Those of us who are not quite so handsome just have to take the constructive criticism and roll with it

I am glad he came over and helped y'all out, but I am pissed off that a guy can work his ass off six and a half days a week and have trouble keeping his family warm. Call me a socialist, but if hard work isn't rewarded why the **** would anybody want to do it. You need to be paid better. I'm out of u'r business now

That's what Heather said! Dang this heater is sweet though! I can already feel it warming up the living room....maybe I can take my jacket off soon! LOL! Oh, and he said he would send a guy out to help me on the plumbing if it all busts...on his dime! That's cool!

 

[treeslayer2003]

I agree with Jon on the payin but I am glad he came thru......I guess that counts for sumthin.
it hard for us to feel helpless to help because of distance so i'm glad someone did it.
warm up my friend.

HS, forget the mean face. What I want to know is did you take the kids down the water slide? Those Wet & Wild water parks are so natural looking you would think that was a real river behind you. Ron

 

[treeslayer2003]

hey there Ron, you shiverin down there too?

 

[Trx250r180]

you got room to put a wood stove in your place Clint ? they are not that hard to put in

 

[rwoods]

With some sarcasm, I could thank you guys for sending me over to the Firewood Forum tonight to read up on danger trees. However, in all sincerity reading Metals406's thoughtful replies one after another lifted my spirit which has been down with the departure of Bob and the absence of RandyMac, both of whom brought much to AS.

Prior to the hack I have found the Firewood forum to be mostly a good crowd. I haven't been there much since the hack so I'll not comment further. The CS forum seems to continue on a downward spiral; there is so much sarcasm and ignorance expressed that it is sometimes difficult to tell whether a poster doesn't know better or is baiting someone - I don't really care when it comes to what saw, mod, oil or chain - but it really bothers me when it comes to something that can get you killed or maimed. I guess that is one reason (among many) that I miss the aforesaid men, they spoke up and you knew where they stood. Hopefully, some of you will take up the mantle despite the ruffled feathers and the chips some carry.

When it gets real cold I eats a lots of chili and find me one of them bar-b-Q lighters, may smell a little like burned hair but at least my butt is warm.

Yuckers.

If you live in a travel trailer, do not cook a lot of things that require boiling or simmering during the winter. It will create its own weather and rain inside on you.

It was 6* when I got home. It is supposed to get in the negative tonight. I got the wood stove running full blast. I feel for Clint. I've been there with frost on the walls - didn't have a family depending on me though. Ron

 

[northmanlogging]

First place I lived in after moving out of the parents, had no insulation, base board heaters only, and we was all broke punk rock kids couldn't afford the huge electricity bill, waking up to frost on your blankets and ice in the sinks is a humbling experience. Showering was a dance with hypothermia.

 

[treeslayer2003]

me to Ron, I don't know how we lived before the stove n I ain't goin back to without it.
