Masterblaster aka Butch Ballowe III

[stig]

Doesn't take much to put a monoculture conifer at that age over, saves you dragging a felling bar around, or wedges.

The one you showed looked like a new version, I don't know that.
The original sure worked.
That was just a piece of firehose, clamped at both ends.

 

[FireFighterZero]

What a fugging rip off.

 

[FireFighterZero]

I should clarify.​

​

Trading Butch for the Treehouse was not good value in my opinion.​

 

[cory]

I'm listening

 

[FireFighterZero]

You are a good person Cory.

I ain't worth a shit.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Yeeee Haaaaww!

 

[cory]

C'mon man.

Highs n lows, you know that from prairie life. Can't have highs with no lows. And lows cannot exist without highs, of course.

If you in a low, there's a high waiting closer than you think.

What would Butch say?

 

[FireFighterZero]

Nah....

 

[flushcut]

What’s up Jim? Cabin fever got hold of you?

Hang in there spring isn’t that far away.

 

[No_Bivy]

put down the bottle for a little while man, it will help

 

[stig]

Can't have highs with no lows. And lows cannot exist without highs, of course.

Death is the mother of beauty.

 

[FireFighterZero]

I figured it would eventually get easier.

It sure hasn't.


How is it for you guys?

I hate not having Butch here… but that’s not changing.
He’s been uploaded to the metaverse for recycling, like everyone before us.
I miss him. I didn’t always agree or even like what he said.
He did it his way.

 

[Bodean]

Butch could create connections and bridges between people….
Like managing a McDonalds crew Or working on a boat.
He didn’t care if you were rich or poor or new or famous….
He was always down to get down…. Hi’s and Lo’s.

 

[Bermy]

Adapt and overcome.
Foundations are meant to be built on

 

[FireFighterZero]

That's probably true Fiona.

I might not be as adaptable as you folks.

In fact...I know I am not.

 

[lxskllr]

Change is bad. I've lived my life by that philosophy, but the world won't cooperate. Ya just gotta deal with it, and keep gettin' on.

 

[Bermy]

No one said it is easy, I'm not trying to be glib.

 

[FireFighterZero]

I apologize for messing up this thread.

The last thing I kinda "got over" took more than a decade.

Still struggling with that one.

When I was down an old guy, Tony Crescenta said to me one day, “When it all seems too dark, keep your focus down the line”. An auto worker, he said on hard days he’d see the ‘light ‘ where the finished car was driven off the line and out the large door into the light. For him it was a way to see past the current low.

 

[SeanKroll]

Jim, sorry you're in a rough patch.

We're here to listen.

 

[cory]

FFZ, you dint mess up doodly, you've added very significantly to this thread, so thanks for your honesty and openness. You a beloved member here.

I think Deva has said it best, above.

I miss MB more as time goes by.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Yeah...it's supposed to get easier right?

 

[stig]

I couldn't stand him.
Stupid redneck motherfucker who had no idea of the World outside his hometown.
Yet he kept going into discussions about World politics that he had absolutely no back ground for.

"Dissing 'Merica" rah.......rah........rah.......!

Not to mention banning people left and right because he didn't like the color of their hair or something.
Ask Brian or Erik about that.

Now he is dead, and has suddenly turned into the Treehouse god.

Spare me, please.

Carl, just go ahead and ban me, I've about had it with this.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Yowza!

That was quite a post Stig.

Quite a post....
