    Sometimes it isn't all about beauty.

    In 1893 the Kettle brothers left Canada in a wagon bound for the Wet Mountain Valley of Colorado to build a new ranch. They brought with them their worldly goods and a little willow tree. The back story of WHY they would take the trouble to transport a tree halfway across the continent is lost...

    Governor

    Anyone know of a source for a Ford(perhaps universal) belt driven governor? The one on the Olathe 984 chipper EXPLODED (2.3 litre Ford 4 banger). I can still operate by setting the throttle to a reasonable speed and putting up with some bogging but I'd like to find a Guv'nuh.

    Suffer not fools gladly...but they are good for a laugh

    Today I was working in a trailer park. Several removals but I chose to do the climbing first before the already high temps reached the 99-104 variously reported as the high. ......So, I'm working my way up this moderate sized Catalpa removal when a tenant in the adjoining lot comes out and...

    Hog wild

    I returned esterday from this year's javalina bow hunt. For the first time in six years I came back without a javie.....but I had plenty of fun. First time for everything-I got attacked by a wounded Feral Hog. Charged me from about 20 feet, knocked me down and cut up my left leg a little...

    Bow stringing

    Butch, I don't know why all of the other forums I frequent have such sucky software but I'm going to try to steal a bit of bandwidth from you to help out some other folks. file:///C:/temp/bow%20stringing.htm The proper stringing/unstringing of a bow involves bending the limbs by stressing them...

    Jamin slays the dragon

    Okay, I'll admit that is a bit overstated but it sounds more exciting that "Jamin deadwoods a large tree". Unfortunately there are no dramatic action vids or even awe inspiring stills of monster limbs free falling or hinging onto the rope. I further apologize to Jamin himself for my being so...

    Laptop for college student.

    Help! I need to buy a laptop computer for a student. It doesn't have to be a dualcore with some super graphics card at this point- but I need to find something suitable for a freshman to get started with. Economy is important but it needs to be adequate. I have really no idea what kind of...

The city had issued a removal order (part of their DED control policy) The little old lady said she didn't need me after all because her son-in-law was going to do it. She called today. SiL and his father rented a lift and did part of...

    It is nice to have a heavy truck

    I got a call today inquiring about the bucket truck. Thankfully it is too heavy. It seems that they need someone to drive out onto the world's highest suspension bridge and tighten some fittings at almost 60 feet over the planks.......1100 feet over the bottom of the Royal Gorge. The thought of...

    I got a call from the local Post Office to tender a bid. I went by and met with the mainenance guy (who is a customer). So just as I'm about done writing up the bid he asked, "You do take credit cards don't you?" "Er.. No, I used to but I dropped it". Maintenance guy "I'm sorry I've wasted...
