no one wants to be with the grumpy janitor, heheh

yup, film office lists dangerous activities on their permits I bet. axmen is entertaining and profitable for some people I am sure.
most logging companies around me are family run and use two cut men, skidder and one driver. OSHA need not apply.
1 husq part in the 5 Stihl dealers here. why? Stihl saws are light, fast, adaptable to all kinds of weather and take the abuse. parts can be fixed on the bench in the shop and one phone call gets you replacement parts. it's an everyday worker. fits right in with our 20 projects a day,Carhartt's, dodge trucks, and paying NYS taxes....

scotty you should know I am a Harley girl; orange saws and black boots fits right in with Harley colors....color coordination and fashion is your realm.roll with it

R & R'd the yanmar diesel hitachi starter. my Harley starter fit it perfectly.
we better learn Chinese me thinks.....where did Japan get 4 billion to buy Jim Beam??

GOOD! I don't need no stinkin' people anyways!

New England is mostly mechanized, even back when I was doing it, feller/bunchers, cut-to-length delimbers and tub grinders are what makes logs for the most part. Saws are mostly used at the landing after a trailer is loaded to even it up for the road or get missed limbs out of the way, or to saw tops for the firewood market.

Because Husky's don't break like Stihl's and there's no need for a massive parts and support network just to keep them together.

Funny, everything you used as an example is over-priced and selling on a past reputation that's long since gone.

Orange and black, orange and black... now where have I seen that color combination before? I KNOW, HALLOWEEN!

I thought that thing was a Mitsubishi?

I don't know, but I just changed brands. When the Chinese buy out Husky, that's when I'll become a Stihl owner. Or maybe I'll start making my own saws; "Scott Saws, tools with attitude!"

Whatever way a person goes ya gotta admit, when it comes to wood,
Scott probably has a lot more experience and probably enjoys handling it more than most of us. Heh heh heh

Scotty

FiverBob

Bring your best cut off jean shorts, we doing an airboat ride to see dem alleygators in the Everglades.



I'm excited about Suntory buying Beam. The Japanese are fine brewers. I don't think they'll change anything recipe wise anyway. Heck, if they can get this girl to acquire hr taste for beer, they're dong something right. That reminds me, I need to go buy that high dollar bottle of whiskey for DH birthday.

Justwannabeme

Howdy Scotty, Shorts, Bob and any others who didn't post today.

Best idea ever!! He definitely has the skills to make a good distillery.
He is already using wood so nobody would notice smoke.
And he has access to Michigan potato's, corn, wheat and other grains that they grow locally.
I for one don't see any drawbacks to it and am all for it.

Snort . if he wasn't actually a nice guy we wouldn't have gotten away with that.

Snowing here. Going into town anyway.

chaikwa

Hey, I LIKE having a Husky reputation with wood. And I ain't ashamed either!

I like other cultures too, but that don't mean I want 'em makin' my juice!


For the Stihl?

And Bark, thanks for noticing. I AM a nice guy, ain't I!

Bark

Yeah, but I will deny it if I ever get dragged into court over it.
No hard feelings, I just don't want to have to share a cell with you.

Dang, more snow than I thought. Broke my favorite feed shovel.
Broke a shear pin on the blower on yet another free sunday paper I didn't know about.
Oh well, its 20°f, lightly snowing and I have plenty of pins.
Its a good night.

Haven't stopped in a day or two took fiancé Sunday to look at water falls close to a state park not far from me. Found out yesterday most I the pain I'm havering in my foot is being caused by autheritis. Not a lot they can do and that sucks I ain't that old yet.

Oh well fresh coffee phoo sweet tea and hot water on the counter I fired up the dragon to warm the place up a little somebody bath that thing she's starting to have a bad case of BOdy Oder. Left some fresh biscuits also. I will check back latter today

Mexstan

Wanted to say GOOD MORNING to everybody, but there is nobody her to say it too. Don't tell me that y'all are still sleeping? I see that somebody was here before me and made good coffee. Thanks. Yeah, noticed the somewhat rank smell in here, but figured that was just the janitor.

Looks like another nice day brewing, but will be cold tonight. Tomorrow will be sunny again.

Claude, watcha trying to do? Start a new village? A village named Claude? Anyway, a bit late, but congratulations on the addition.

Wife is getting very uptight because her oldest son is getting married on March 1 and she still does not have a dress. I asked her what was wrong with the new dress that she wore at the last wedding and received THAT look. All you married guys probably know THAT look. The look that speaks volumes, but no words are said. The fact that we are also leaving on an overseas trip on Mar 5 and she still does not have her visa is also helping to wind her up. We will need to take a trip into Mexico City to apply for the visa and both of us hate that.

Tonight is full moon. Wonder if that will bring any of the DTR crazies out. Oh wait, they don't need a full moon, 'cuz some of them are here daily.

Hope y'all have a great day.
