I don’t a I don’t argue. I just explain why i’m right.

This summed up my concern. The appearance is that he’s cut all the way around with the axe. It ain’t easy felling a small tree with a big axe. I would think in the time it took to do that, he coulda made friends with someone that has a saw. That starts turning into some pretty good accuracy with...

Yeah, but ya gotta give him reps for hitting a hardwood that many times with an axe. That's a BIG tree, never mind what appears to be white oak. I'd call him industrious, if not a bit unfamiliar with safety.

If only you were a bit closer and it was a 6 footer .....

Victoria, BC, or Victoria, Australia? Either way, I'm not sure the government or LEO's would respect your identity. Might be a tough court case as well.

Amazon is your friend. Speeco has a store on Amazon. I picked up a HaulMaster Cat 1/2 hitch from Harbor Freight for $99 a few years ago, 1/3 the price of a Speeco. It ain't a Speeco, but if I got some red paint and some Speeco decals, you probably couldn't prove it isn't a Speedo. Everything...

Unless you actually record him committing a theft or sabotage of your property, you're not likely going to get any satisfaction from the law with a possible exception of a Tresspass after Warning (assuming you also put up the signs). Same goes for the dogs, if your state/county/municipality has...

I bought an LS brand (same folks that make the little blue tractors) standard duty grapple. Other than a few soft spots I found while abusing it (picking up rather large logs by the end), it's been pretty good. The teeth on the clamp are a bit long for their thickness, and tend to bend to the...

I hope I didn’t hurt my little LX’s feelings too much. It was relegated to trailer pulling duty all last weekend. The Missus decided to do some decluttering and have a yard sale. I figured the smartest thing to do was load everything except the most valuable items on the trailer and then I could...

Man A lot of additives go into making paper, and not all of them are environmentally friendly. The biggest problem with paper products is the fly ash which might start an unwanted conflagration in unexpected places. .

The missus just suggested USCIS_ENFORCEMENT.

All the butt ends pounted one way helps, and cutting any crook or fork larger than an inch seems to be a good combination to prevent tangling and feeding problems with the WC-68. It doesn’t take long to chew up a LOT of brush. I try to make sure I cut the stumps off anything I uproot to minimize...

Perfect for cornbread.

That’s the trouble with tribbles.

Just watch for dirt splattered on the stuff you’re gonna chip. Might not hurt to wash it with a hose first. Sand stuck to the brush will dull chipper blades almost as fast as rocks.

The morning after my high school graduation, my stepfather came in my room at 0400, woke me up, and told me "Have your first month's rent or be gone by sundown". I chose the latter. I don't regret my choice. I had a lot more reasons to be gone than I had to stay there one more day with him...

This is totally lost on anyone under 50. I can’t count the times I’ve heard “you owe me!” Between 3 of my own, 3 stepkids, and 3 grandkids over the past 45 years, I’ve had my share of demands for “wants” and tried to explain the difference between wants and needs. If they were persistent, my...

If it’s a Super Crew cab and long bed, it’s definitely easier to back into parking places, if they’re not angled parking. Ain’t no way to do that without being pointed in the wrong direction when it’s time to leave. We had a few customers that started requiring backing into spaces on their mill...

Dry chem and foaming extinguishers are the only kinds rated for fuel/oil fires. Foaming agents are harder to come by for personal/residential use. It takes a lot more CO2 than you can carry to put out even a small fuel fire because it does nothing to reduce the volatility of the fuel. Even...

The primary reason for opening it all the way is so that the cylinder rods are fully retracted and protected from corrosion, as well as having the least amount of hydraulic fluid in them (by the amount displaced by the rods). Put a piece of RR tie on the ground and put the clamp teeth on that to...
