    Cut the stock down . Thats going to kick him harder than it should. If you cut them down an inch at a time, you can glue the bits back on as he grows. Thats what my dad did with me back home. I only get a 12 gauge when he saw me shooting at doves one handed with that 410.

    Took down 3 Scots Pine. I really dislike working at full stick plus stinger. On top of that right over the outrigger, then the crane begain to sink on that rigger, steel plate to the rescue. I told the driver I didnt like the setup, but that as close as we could come. The crane lacks a scale.

Few people would expect their Plumber buddy to work all day...

    A man visiting Bergen asked a passing Boy "Does it always rain here son?" "I don't know" replied the Boy "I am only 9 years old" I got it wrong about the longest run of continuous rain,it was 100 days of continuous rain .In a year we had 300 days of rainfall.

    Yeah Bergen sucks weather wise,pretty much the same latitude as Anchorage but over 120 inches of rain fall in 2017. 2015 I think it was when we had 300 days of continuous rain.
