    No I got the same stiff neck while hiking around LasVegas a month ago looking up at all the tall sky rises. Same as pruning trees and tall hedges/bushes. I see Sherrill Tree sells a neck support pillow to put on your shoulders to support your head. Pulling the pruner rope and repetitive hand...

    Yeah I used to love pruning too, kinda felt like Edward Scissorhands. Now get a sore neck and numb hands if I do it.

    I got myself into a controversial looking transaction of receiving cash a half hour ago. I was at my kids school math fair and my cell phone rings. A woman homeowner in her early 30's has been after me lately to remove her stumps but she only could pay it in small installments. I talked to her...

    Same here . As a 10 year old driving my Dad's 1949 Ford pickup through a rutty field, that big old steering wheel black and blued my thumbs pretty darn good......never forgot that:D My memory was refreshed 20 years ago when I was hauling birch firewood out of the bush with my 1965 Mercury M800...

    Keep an eye out for this balsamic vinegar. I buy it at the local grocery store. They keep and other more expensive vinegars locked up in a display case. This little bottle is about $30 but the others go upwards of $350. You'll never go back to regular.:)

    Jay, 30 years ago I had a really nice Japanese gold water stone 10,000X grit about approximately 10" long X 3 " wide . Sold a competition racing axe to a fellow and threw the brand new stone in with the sale. Sure wish I didn't give it away now, I bought it from Lee Valley Tools. Not sure if it...

    Lost my little buddy Ember today, he's a siamese fighting fish . Had him for 8 months and enjoyed the little guy, interactive and fiesty. Sad to lose a pet who was like a friend to me.

    Jay, 2 mile long freight trains blast through there at 60 MPH. No need for gates , only need flashing lights here. On these flat straight prairie highways you can see those lights miles away.

    Took the family to the city down south last week , got home last night. On the way down driving through our Boreal Forest a lynx causally crosses the highway in front of us, as we slow down enough we look to the right and see a bald eagle sitting on a dead tree in the middle of a pond. Look to...

    Well it's spring break and we're not getting any spring weather here. So my wife and I are leaving for Las Vegas tomorrow. Leaving the kids with the in-laws in the city. This is our first holiday without kids. Last time was when we were on that camel about 13 years ago. Will be nice to spend a...

    Took the family out to Paint Lake to look at our seasonal camper spot for this year. I love being surrounded by white spruce, scientists say they give off a compound with strong medicinal health benefits. Notice the timbers strong south east dominate lean, beautiful timber to log as I cut in...

    Yup hands are key, knock on wood mine are still hanging in there. I lucked out moving to this working class mining town, most every one will clean up after me which sure saves wear and tear on myself and my equipment. Cottage country at the lake pretty well 100% of my customers will clean up.
