How'd it go today?

[MasterBlaster]

Armpit hair is an aqquired taste.

I don't wanna taste it...

 

[FireFighterZero]

Well, it helps if the gaps in your teeth are not too tight. The hair just pulls through.

 

[Mick!]

I have no doubt you've known many cruising sailors Butch.

Just don't fall for every national stereotype.

 

[woodworkingboy]

I was told long ago that the women didn't shave their legs or pits and nobody used deodorant.

I think he's talking about during the reign of Louis the fifteenth. No deodorant but lots of perfume.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Well, this WAS back in the 70's.

A lot of things have changed since then...

 

[Fiddler]

working for elderly employers is a trip sometimes. spent a few hours loading brush on a trailer today...I had Nic and his son there helping Sat and asked about loading the trailer..."no, we'll just take care of it you guys don't have to." so he calls this morning, cancels me mowing, and asks me to load what we had just staged Sat.

The plan changes daily...I just laugh.

I dunno, sounds like modern day down town Brantford.

 

[Grendel]

This was the fourth time I've had to make this repair on this particular truck. They like to corrode into one homogeneous mass with the knuckle. . .

 

[FireFighterZero]

Ha! They can be tricky.

Looks like a GM half ton.....done that many times.

Glad we don't have salt on the roads.

 

[Grendel]

That's the one Jim.

I feel like I should start painting these parts. That mangled one still had the anti-seize I put on it in place. It was probably four years old. . .

 

[Cobleskill]

I can relate. Had one I didn't think was going to ever let loose.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Man, that salt must make everything twice as hard in that country.

 

[cory]

Nice pics, G

What do they use on roads in MT?

 

[FireFighterZero]

Magnesium Chloride, which is a lot like sodium chloride, but a bit less corrosive.

They put it down as a liquid with anti corrosion additives.

Honestly, they dont use it very often. We dont get much ice in the winter.

That is hard to figure.

 

[Fiddler]

Has to get warm enough for moisture to form ice...

 

[treebilly]

Also areas with lower population don't require the winter maintainence as much. Lower traffic equals lower risk. Also they might actually know how to drive and know when not to.

 

[Fiddler]

Plus...tractors don't go real fast.

 

[treebilly]

 

[Mick!]

They don't salt the smaller roads here at all. In a way it's good, if you know they're not salted and it could be an ice rink you drive more cautiously.
It's where you think they'll be ok and they're not that the ditches become parking places.

 

[Grendel]

Pretty serious gawking going on. . . haha

[MasterBlaster]

Why did you speedline it?

 

[Grendel]

There's gas lines and some really old cast pipe work down there. . . Plus, slide line is fun and it gets everything facing the same way for chipper tomorrow.

haha

 

[squisher]

You got some serious skillset going on man. And I know you're tired of hearing it. But wrap that thumb!

 

[Grendel]

Thanks!! Wow, that's really nice of you to say. Like I said to Stephen, my backcuts were a little off today for some reason. . . And I know, my thumb!! I'm trying. Keep reminding me. I'll get there I promise.
