How'd it go today?

[flushcut]

I did nothing fun and chipped a bunch of willow for a buddy of mine.

 

[Al Smith]

Shit, half the places I go I have to explain what iced coffee is.

Now that has to be an acquired taste .How can anybody drink iced coffee ? Tea yes ,coffee no .

 

[CurSedVoyce]

No iced coffee for me either Al... I don't care if it's 120 F out.

Good day here, worked at a church today, doing some clearing and chipping. Pruned one tree and cut down a few others. Quite a bit of chipping. They had a lot of volunteers there and they were ripping into a bunch of honey suckle, so we spent most of our time chipping that.

McDonalds is changing that.

You don't know what you're missing!

I like iced coffee too. Very refreshing pick up on a hot day. Has to have cream in it though. The vending machines here sell more canned coffee than anything else, hot and cold. Not including the beer machines. It varies from thin black to sweet syrupy.

 

[FJR]

Wow, I have never seen canned coffee before. Cool

 

[NeTree]

Really? They don't have the Starbucks iced coffees in IL? I never looked, but every convenience store here has them.

 

[FJR]

Yeah yeah you are right, I forgot about the super sugar starbucks cans. The cans Jay posted actually look like real (black) coffee in a can, and I don't know if I have seen those here.

 

[NeTree]

I haven't.

 

[sotc]

Seattle's best sells it canned also

Impromptu cat rescue, doug-fir.

Cat was on the first branch, 30'.

One awkward trunk-cinch spurless ascent from the top of the ladder to the cat.

Lower out, clutching Lucey.

How much to cut that tree down?

Wedge tree into submission, opposite the lean, with the Gentle Persuader, out into a field after spurless ascent.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I thought I heard something at the bank....

Some of you guys are quite creative

Trevin and I installed our Gravenstein apples today after they sat here for 2 weeks tied up. They will be done espalier later this winter. Had to do a little preventitive de-girdling but other wise nice trees

 

[Al Smith]

That cold coffee must be a New England thing .

Today I hauled my splitter to town for young Tom to use to split up a mountain of wood along with his own machine . His swallowed the carb float and died while I was there .Took the carb off and the float had broken the solder connection to the shut off lever .Back to the house to solder the float .Running again with two on line and got about 5 cords give or take .Seen better but not bad considering .

Spent the day tearing out moldy cabinets and sheetrock... I'm done for!





I get to do the same thing tomorrow. Maybe soon, I can start repairing dry-rot and termite damage, after I get the core of the house shored up and a roof put on. :roll:

 

[CurSedVoyce]

 

[NeTree]

Sounds like fun. Not.

 

[SkwerI]

I went here:

And then I went here:

 

[stehansen]

Nice.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Wow, that torpedo means business. I'd love to go on a submarine.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Excellent! And such an amazing tree....

 

[Paul B]

Cool stuff RJS. I got to go in a Russian sub once (Foxtrot class), at a mere 6' tall it would be MIGHTY uncomfortable to spend more than about 15 minutes in one.

 

[sotc]

I went on one of ours in Kodiak when one came to port for tours. Quite interesting fo sho.
