How'd it go today?

[SeanKroll]

I haven't and mine are rusty as f-ck so it might not be a bad idea?

Dang Rich hope you are getting some good pay for a Sunday. And that the job goes easy for yah.

Would you rather have Rusty chains or oily chains to install.

I have to dip my excess saw chains in oil annually, to prevent rust.




We got snow yesterday and more today. Rain tomorrow.


8" drift by fence. Probably half as much fallen.

Is that Sasquatch in the upper left corner???

 

[SeanKroll]

I'm going to look for tracks.

Where is my plaster of Paris and camera????

I just found out that Bailey's no longer ship overseas.
Bummer!

I was going to place a major order for stuff we can't get here.

 

[Mick!]

Like what?

 

[stig]

Clothing, wedge pouches, shoulder pads, caulk bootsall the good stuff that Europeans don't know about.

Maybe you can open a logging store online and corner the market once you hang up the saw?!

 

[Burnham]

Thanks for the tips. Do you guys oil them before seasonal storage? I was thinking ammo can in the storage boxes on the trucks. I ended up getting chains for all four corners of each trucks. The chip truck is the main concern, even tho it's four wheel drive, it doesn't take much to get it stuck.

I have never oiled mine...I just keep them dry in storage. Ammo can should be a good choice.

Like Sean suggested, I bet messing with oily chains would likely be more of a bother than rusty ones .

Good point.

I've heard of brush pushers, but never seen a picture of one.

 

[stig]

Thanks Stephen.
I'll see what they have.

If you actually feel the need to buy one of these instead of just using a piece of brush that you're chipping anyway then I would question your ability to make sound judgement calls on a jobsite. Go ahead and justify it however you like, it's still a complete waste of money and caters to those incapable of thinking.

Some people might like it, Brian. No need to jump on anyone like that.

Be nice, like me.

 

[Mick!]

No, fair’s fair, that brush pusher is funny.

 

[Stumpshot]

I'm weird, I use a leaf rake or plastic scoop shovel if I have a strange urge to push brush into the feed wheels..

 

[squisher]

I always used a pitchfork. Just let it feed in a little if the tines need sharpening.

 

[Mick!]

Jeez, that what feet are for guys!

 

[pantheraba]

bamboo here.....

 

[squisher]

Ruthless..........with the bamboo.

 

[flushcut]

Nobody uses bamboo that's just silly.

I lit my face on fire earlier.


Thankfully it was about 20 below F at the time. All I lost was some hair.


Some of that hair was inside my nose however.....smells like a branding fire all day.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Do you recommend that method of nose hair removal over any other? Pulling with tweezers is no thrill, either.

 

[FireFighterZero]

There were less tears involved in burning them out.....thats for sure.


I still cant recomend it though. The older I get the more convinced I become that these hairs are where they are for a reason. We should just accept them.

 

[Stumpshot]

Except as you age, more hairs keep cropping up... on & in the ears, more nose hair, etc. Odd how that works. Meanwhile, everything else is turning gray and some men are losing the hair on top!
