How'd it go today?

Horney Toad, Satisfied Frog.
I helped start the building of Anthem.
Lived off Pima near the Princess and helped build a lot of those custom homes on that side of the McDowell Mountains.
Spent 10 years there in AZ and traveled a lot of it.
Had hot air balloons land on my Street. Went out in my bath robe and helped bring her down to secure. We shared cigars. Great times.

Champagne and Cigars at day break in my robe, with a hot air balloon. What a great day!

You should also visit Jerome and Bisbee
I've been to Bisbee. I took a tour of one of the old mines. It had several large slides in, which used to be use by the miners to quickly drop from one level to the next. Of course there were rail cars, which we toured in, which was fun. I went and saw some other attractions as well, but I can't recall what exactly. This was when I was younger and with the parental units. Good times, though.
 
I had to go feed my new addiction some more last night, second time this week

these concerts are cheap enough atleast, saw Cavalera brothers wednesday (one great opener and 2 meh ones) and yesterday I saw Black Dahlia Murder (with 3 great openers)
chicks dig my merch from previous concerts too lol
saw someone carrying a kid out while being followed by 4 or 5 people and a bouncer escorting them (all running and sweating), hopefully JUST passed out from the heat and not worse, that heat is the most dangerous part of anything I do IMO

two pics from Cavalera

Are Max and Igor back together?! If I remember correctly, they split between Sepultura and Soulfly. This was many years ago though.

No clue on specifics since I don't listen to them, went with my dad because mom didn't feel like it last minute but they were both there playing

Dear Arizona,

Look, I get it...you're really hot. No need to be a f*cking obsessive narcissist about it...we genuinely understand at this point that no states are hotter than you! Just stop for a few seasons, okay? Your hotness is sooooooooo played out at this point and you're making me fat and depressed because I have to stay inside and abstain from outdoor activity day after miserable day.

Does my unhappiness make you happy, Arizona?! I'm beginning to think you're psychopathically waving heat upon me. Because I'd love you just as much - probably more - if you were room temperature.

Just saying...we get the point, so can you please, please become a bit more temperate? Do it for the kids who want to play outside and not develop early onset melanoma. Do it for the elderly who risk having a heat stroke. Do it for the dogs that have to stay in the car while their owner shops.

You think you're just really hot, but you're actually a hot mess. Sorry, I'm escalating. Please, just chill, homie. Do it for the homeless who can't afford the SPF 1,000. Do we really need it to be 112 degrees? Seems like you're exerting a lot of effort for nothing. Just some thoughts. Trying not to judge, but...who are you trying to impress? Thanks for listening.

Sincerely,
Knotorious

I overloaded and broke my trailer today BUT NOT HOW YOU THINK!

log: 1
Door: 0

had a log roll off the top of the load as I was dumping and it tore the back door off the trailer (or as close as you can get while still not needing to strap it shut)
had to fix that as soon as I got home
did get to try out the trailer hitch I welded up for the mini ex, its working fantastic, gonna be sweet having the ability to load the trailer and move it with one machine

Already smashing shit! Terrible.
yeah been like 2 years and this is the first bit of damage on the trailer, not related to the new machine either
just dumping like normal and a log twisted weird and bounced right over the side of the trailer, first time ive seen that happen too
 
Higher sides help with that.
yeah when I bought the trailer I didnt even have a machine to load it so I had to have short sides so we could hand load over them, then I bought the boxer which barely clears these sides

now I can load over 3-4ft sides no issue but on the rare job I need the mini skid for access reasons then im SOL and back to hand loading through the rear of the trailer, or make 2 trips to bring both machines
 
BUT I cannot think of a single job where I HAD to have a 36" wide machine, every single job ive used a machine on either had no tight access, or there was a double wide gate somewhere nearby that would get me where I wanted to go
 
Yeah no, you are not SOL you can load logs lengthwise thru the rear gate. I have done that many times and it’s easier than you think.

my machine cant load stuff like that higher than about 3ft off the ground, simply cannot lift any sizeable logs that high without tipping, hence buying a machine that can

id explain but we would be here arguing for 2 weeks
say im loading 20" diameter maple, I can only lift about a 5ft log with my mini skid, maybe even shorter, so loading that lengthwise from the rear is next to impossible if I want to fill the trailer more than 1 layer deep
 
I should mention, my mini is rated to carry something like 735 pounds at the pins, tipping is 2100

in reality it wont lift 700 pounds off the ground at all without tipping, if I add weight to the rear then the hydraulics just bypass

all my mini skid is good for really is chipping small brush and looking at, other than that good effing luck trying to load logs from the rear of a trailer and push them in with it, welcome to come try
 
im going to go ahead and apologize for arguing, my people skillz are absolute shyte
I "passed" the RAADS autism test with a 171, assuming its accurate im thinking that may or may not explain some things, momma says im special

I'm special too and proud of it.

I argue with people for reasons that only make sense to me all of the time. Being certifiably batshit is a blessing and a curse, but so is life in general.

Apologies are key for anyone; they should be about the other person and show that you care about feelings that belong to someone other than yourself. Humility is never overrated by anyone with real emotional intelligence.

I had no clue till a friend of mine (very much autistic) mentioned that I should look into it since we are so much alike (down to microfiber towels feeling weird, like weird enough to make us both literally angry)

This makes sense to me. For me, very few things upset me more than having my movement abruptly resisted and I'm a VERY passive person...

For example, every time I'm wearing headphones and they get caught on something and they end up getting abruptly ripped out of my ears, I feel a sensation of irate agitation that fills my entire body with the most uncomfortable flow of adrenaline and annoyance.

I don't flip out or anything in public, but if I'm by myself, I'll audibly yell "f******************************ck!" Sometimes it turns out I'm not by myself and that's awkward. But I swear a lot, so people usually aren't that surprised, just concerned.

Ever have your pocket get caught on the knob of a drawer or something similar as you're walking, causing you to suddenly get ripped back a step? Yeah, same thing...that makes my blood boil and I'm liable to disassemble the knob out of spite.

Or when you're sweaty as all hell and you're trying to pull your shirt over your head but it's stuck to your back? OMG, don't get me started. Especially if I end up ripping the shirt.

I'm weird and I don't care who knows. People can't effectively or successfully make fun of you if you already make fun of yourself.

i did this to my favorite shirt once (was a gifted AvE Thumb Detector shirt)

sad day
I'm weird and I don't care who knows. People can't effectively or successfully make fun of you if you already make fun of yourself.
same here, I make fun of myself all the time and im rarely bothered by others poking fun
very few things upset me more than having my movement abruptly resisted
all the time when im doing something and just cant quite get a wrench on a bolt, or my chainsaw lanyard grabs a twig, or bark catching my flipline, I will yell the nastiest stuff anyones ever heard out of a tree
 
I never knew freakouts and hissy fits were indicators of autism. What I thought was poor behaviour is actually a medical condition?
