How'd it go today?

[Tucker943]

Id kill myself if sentenced to life in jail. No way I'd finish my entire life in a dirty, violent cage full of men raping each other.

 

[Mick!]

If it was clean and the sex was consensual?

 

[stig]

Sounds tempting, but it is still a cage.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Jeezus, that conversation took a turn!

 

[Tucker943]

Its not clean, and I don't want to live my life hearing men pig roast each other, consensual or not. Its just not my scene. Im more into the free world, good looking wife scene.

 

[Mick!]

Well that escalated quickly! (into I don't know what)

Copy that!

 

[Mick!]

Anyone else definitely NOT into prison gang bangs, just so we know.

 

[stig]

Man, derailsRus here at the House!

BTW, it was the being in a cage thing, not the gangbangs that I objected to.

 

[Tucker943]

Sounds like Becasse wants to get see-sawed in a prison.

 

[BOTS]

Stephen and Stig glad you still above ground, things happen quick, this line of work is a gamble.

 

[pantheraba]

Stephen, I hardly ever read this thread...when I do you and Stig have gotten banged up. Sorry to see that cut...hope it's doing better already. Gonna be sore awhile, I reckon.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Why don't you read this thread, Gary?

 

[pantheraba]

Time...only so much to go around.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

It's doing ok Gary.... Looks like a dang gaff stab.... Still letting it leak out and fresh dressings 2X daily after a good wash or soak.

 

[Bermy]

Glad you guys are ok!

I have a pretty pattern of black and red holes across the nail of my left index finger...funny, they are an exact match for the silky...good thing the blade is a bit dull.

Three days of hand pruning overgrown apples, actually really enjoying it, no more than three feet off the ground, no hot chainsaw gear, no saw noise, good radio channel to listen to, fresh fruit everywhere.
Good peaches, pears and cherries still to go. Summer pruning because they've all gotten out of hand, no-one's worried about the fruit crop particularly.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Have about 25 coming up... I can relate. Love those peaceful days once in a while.

It's fool's play not to have an escape route when cutting trees. Some situations where you are backed up against something and the escape is restricted, even when a straight forward easy fall, i feel a little uncomfortable with it.

Pulling lots of trees today by a river. The Maasdam as usual is a very useful tool. Switched from a timber hitch to a running bowline, guess I'm liking it better. I suspect the timber hitch probably weakens the rope less, if it came down to it.

 

[Mick!]

What's a Masdam?

 

[Cobleskill]

An endless rope wench.

I like to clean even the small twigs out of the escape route. I can just see myself concentrating on the tree and tripping on a small piece I didn't see.

Ok cheers, monkey winch.

 

[gf beranek]

I don't frequent this thread as often as I should. Being a couple of my buds here got banged up in recent days and I didn't even know about it.

My apologizes. Now heal up and don't let it happen again. You hear?

I sprang my foot last weekend. Been limping around since. Bad part is I can not figure where I did it. I was able to use the clutch today. First day in 5 I was out.

What next?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Fire and brimstone!!!

 

[mastermind7864]

I'm here now.
