Speaking of shortening grass, I did that today. It was almost magical. Aside from the temps that never hit 80°, I got to skip big chunks due to the dry weather we had up until the weekend. I only sweat a little bit. Usually you could expect 85°-90° and about as much humidity this time of year.

Are all foxes pussies? I was in the backyard this morning when the fox came around. There's a little cat not long out of kittenhood that lurks around here, and she chased him off. This is a cat that gets turned away by Spot when she tries to get some food, and Spot's a little cat herself. My...

Why's everything crispy?

You get many of those Andrey? Russia isn't a place I think of for hurricanes.

This is where my question about electric saws came from. Electric tool opinions are all over the place. I suspect it has more to do with brand loyalty than objective quality. You know what to expect with Stihl, Husky, echo, and Poulan. Electric tools seem like more of a crapshoot.

I'm pretty ambivalent on Milwaukee quality. My boss had two impact drivers quit working under warranty, and I saw one fail on a job right before my eyes. It worked, was put down, and never worked again. I don't have much experience with electric tools, but I've never seen problems like that with...

Probably like concept cars. You think "Holy shit! I'd love to have one of those!", then when it's released to production it has half the features and looks stupid.

No, that's a job I was on up in Fawn Grove. Not sure exactly what's going on, but it's for some kind of repurposing of a commercial property. There were a couple other trees felled; one of them close to the oak I like. I hope it stays. My picture isn't very impressive, but it's just a kid. If...

Trees?

My righthand neighbor(the McLouds/dumbasses that cut down all their trees) are shortening grass before 7am. Who the frig does that?! I'm already up and getting ready to head out, but there's a pretty good chance someone's still in bed and doesn't want to hear their friggin' mower doing nonsense...

...to the ground in front of her, so I went out to see what she got. I was enough of a distraction that the wren got away from her \o/. There's *always* a chance as long as you keep trying. Also saw a dead snapper in the road across from the job. That's a bummer. The world needs more turtles.

That's annoying. I guess you don't get anything for the inconvenience, right?

Routine day. Some property work at work. I washed Spot's blankets from winter, and washed my helmet. I've been meaning to do the blankets for awhile, but haven't made the time. She doesn't use the enclosure when it's warm, so it wasn't pressing. I wash them in a bucket with soapy water, and hang...

Explain. Boxes are $12/each? We're talking cardboard boxes, right? Shipping is expensive. I'm always shocked when I get the bill for a not terribly big box. I always use USPS. I consider it a donation, cause a good postal system is essential for a real first world country. Makes me feel a bit...

Things I saw today... A ~7' silver maple stump... A young white oak with a beautiful form. I'd love to have this tree... Catalpa! I was pretty excited to see it still had beans on it. I picked a couple, fully opened them, and found... A stick inside?! Opened my tree app, looked it up, and...

Sounds good Kave. Is that a construction type trailer you're looking at?

I brought the rest of my stuff in from yesterday, checked the level bubble I put on the chipper, and there's no more bubble. I guess it popped in the heat. Summer's worthless.

Almost died today :^D Holy hell it was hot(95°). Helped Mike with white pine removal, but I wasn't all that helpful. Couldn't keep moving. No stamina in the heat. Mike did a great job. It was a ungainly tree with lots of forks that had to be dealt with. Day was alright, but I still almost died...

Aren't you on a farm? Not really sure how that works. Might need a grading permit. I'd probably just do it. Put up silt fence so you aren't giving anyone reason to look too hard.

Waterpumps kinda suck. I've done two of them, and waaay underestimated the time it would take. You look at it and think "It's right there. I'll have this knocked out before lunch" Then reality sets in. "Oh, looks like I have to remove the ac". "Can't quite get that bolt with the alternator in...
