You might be a tree climber if...

Definitely NOT in the "small engine" category, Justin . But come on down...we can spin the rascal to our heart's delight. And spin it will .

 

[squisher]

Ahh from what I've seen it's to fine of an automobile to let an animal like me behind the wheel. I know how it'd go. It'd be fun as hell but then I'd feel bad afterwards and worried the phone might ring. Lol.

"we'll drive home backwards"

 

[gf beranek]

One morning my old Boss, Don Sunstrum, found his D8 on the side of the haul road a few miles from the landing. There was blood all over the winch. He followed the tracks beyond, for 7 more miles, up into the skd roads of a gulch and found where the machine had turned around. Turns out Wilbur Parks borrowed it to pack out a deer he killed up in the gulch, but run out of fuel on the return.

There's a pic of Wilbur in HCTF in 'Sunstrum Falling Crew.' Think I'll tale the D8 out for a spin, Martha.

 

[pantheraba]

hahaha...you can't make that stuff up!!!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'd be wondering about the blood too!!!

"we'll drive home backwards"

My dad actually had to do that once. 4 am, just getting off his factory job after pulling a double shift, his 4 speed Datsun was stuck in reverse -- 5 miles from home. He went for it, made it home safely and without any police intervention!

 

[MasterBlaster]

You mean no cops saw him.

 

[gf beranek]

That would hurt my neck.

 

[flushcut]

Nah, just use your mirrors.

 

[Tree09]

Lol the new truck has a backup camera... hooking up trailers feels like cheating now

 

[flushcut]

Making up for lack of skill son

 

[Stumpshot]

I've gotten to where I can hit the pintle on the chip truck about 8 out of 10 with no spotter. Of course, one practice run mashed the light hookup cover. *sigh* Just keepin' me humble! We are thinking of adding the backup camera to the Garmin GPS system.

 

[Tree09]

Lol I've only had it a week!! Before that the newest I've owned was a 98

 

[Mick!]

Back up cameras are good, any initial outlay recouped when you sell it without a bashed up rear.

 

[Stumpshot]

Back to the original question

You know you're a tree climber... when this is your idea of carving a turkey:

Simply clean out all the bar oil reservoir, fill with basting oil, and you're good to go.
Note that he's even one-handing it!

Of course, this is my idea of carving a turkey with a chainsaw:


Why do I think of these things in February?

 

[MasterBlaster]

I bet it was staged!

 

[Stumpshot]

This one sure is. If it were real, imagine the look on the girl's face after she gets spattered with "bar oil," googles or no goggles!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Backchain it!!!

 

[flushcut]

So would you use a carving bar and chain for a turkey?

 

[Bermy]

....if, you have a delicate pattern of little zig zag holes on your knees, and forearms...

 

[flushcut]

Ha!

 

[Bermy]

So you know what I mean LOL
