Maybe drill a hole so you can thread a beener or bungy for rentention purposes but for what they wnt for those damn covers ( Lord knows I have seen enough of them laying on the road) take it off when you drive.
I went out and drove my pickup over a well head and sewer pipe with the chipper hooked to it. I can't see buying a brand new truck to drive it into bushes and scrape it all up.
So I was all set blowing chips into the wood and pulling spruce trees out of pools thinking about what my friend, a financial advisor, said to me at the Y pool the other day. He said, " When are you just gonna hire mexicans to do that ####?"
I was about to ask him when he was gonna hire mexicans to do his job, well, because they can do that too, but then he went on about how the power company doesn't do a very nice job clearing the wires. I didn't bother to get invloved with his lines and worked hard not to point out that he was a fat #### and his wife was wider than she was tall. As long as they are nice right? Nice? Right?
So I was a-hacking and a-slashing getting that spruce out of the pool thinking about Quantum Physics and thinking maybe I had enough of be subjugated when my wife called me around one and said she was picking up Sarah and some other kids whose grandmother was dying so I packed up and went home. Mainly because I had done all I could and needed my dump truck cause I wasn't gonna drag the other spruce all the way over to where I could blow the chips into woods and the ground was getting to mushy to drive the dump truck in. I hope to blow it out in the morning.
Now I kinda do get off doing things by myself that rightly should require a properly trained crew to stay within etiquette and I was never one for ettiquet and if you know anything about Quantum Physics you may realize that etiquette is nothing more than a dream and if you take your eyes off of it then its not there. There is no forest, there is no tree... until someone is there... apparently... but I can't say for certain.
And that is pretty much what I told the guy at the pizza shop when I order a pizza with everything on it. He asked what I meant by " everything", I told him that all was up to him and I can't wait to see that pizza.

A little town called Argyle which i believe is the only dry town in new york. The job i was supposed to do the ho called and said she was taking her kids to great escape. My bucket cover is elastic with a rope and bull snap i hook to the boom. Even if it blows off its not gone for ever.

You are UPSTATE then! I'm down in Binghamton and there is a local here with the same name as you. My cover has the snap too so I won't lose it, but flying a big, orange, Buckingham kite off my boom on the highway ain't my style. Guess I'll end up rigging somrthing to make her stick.

That thing that looks like a dried out shriveled up grapefruit is yer baby's head. Everything is gonna be fine, just remember to take a calm breath when the DR reaches for the scissors.

Gravenhurst. No shortage of snow there, and the tracks were awesome.

I take mine off when i leave the house. You can take some 1/4 " rope put a bowline in one end and choke the cover under the lip of the bucket, couple half hitches your good to go.

When it's just you and her and the midwife is taking her time getting there, ain't nothing for it but to become the Doc. By number 4 it ain't now thang.
Went shopping for the first time in a couple months; paid some awesome suppliers, got the business free and clear of all debts. And then drove home going 45 on the freeway for only the second time ever in my life. It's fun out!

Still working on that college's new property. Everytime I turn off to the access road I'm amazed. One minute I am in the city with all it's people , cars, and noise, 5 min. later wilderness. Yesterday a bobcat ran across the road as I was driving back there. I am done with all the trees, and were removing a lot of concrete steps and sidewalks. I hate doing anything besides tree work, but I like that area a lot. We have a excavator, and a bobcat skidsteer, but I love swinging a 16 pound sledge hammer and bust stuff up.
We've removed a lot of old irrigation pipe also. I'm saving all the brass valves(I have a lot of them now)to take to the scrap yard for recycling. I bet I have 50lbs of brass.

Thought about you today when I drove past a group of deer...they're as common as rats here. Sounds like a pretty cheap price for that much land around there. Cool place.

Tell you what i just got the orange one from tree stuff and am impressed, actually the first cover that ice and snow cant push down and leak. My saw scabbard and harness are nice and dry every morning.
