How'd it go today?

[Burnham]

Sorta like the cold shower idea, only way worse . I think I'll just go with my life-long avoidance policy, myself.

I've always wondered about poison ivy sap and it's relative the Chinese lacquer tree. The lacquer artisans have to build up a tolerance to urishiol over time apparently. Wonder if they eat the leaves too?

 

[Tree09]

I think they lick the brush when doing fine lines or something like that.... i think that's what i was thinking of when i had read something about it. I guess licking the brush was a huge problem when they were making glow in the dark watches way back in the day, they didn't know that the radioactive paint was cancerous, and i guess it killed a bunch of the girls that used to do that work. Crappy way to go.

One Challenger has a bad injector. No.5.

Less than 200 hours.

The other Challenger has a big leak in a transmission line.

Totally shut down seeding!

Going to rain next week.

Shit.

 

[lxskllr]

Is that a huge problem, or a nuisance?

 

[FireFighterZero]

Pretty yuge.

Might get going Monday afternoon.

Other tractor at least a day later.

 

[lxskllr]

Well, I hope you can get everything going in time, and the weather holds out for you.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Thanks!

We never do....and it never does....

 

[lxskllr]

Yea, that sounds about right. Even with my stuff that isn't usually time sensitive, if I have a client that needs important work done, another is usually there with him, and then the weather starts...

 

[Mick!]

BiL came round to lunch, brought his Corvette, 750Hp apparently, been chipped or tuned or something.

 

[Tree09]

You have an amazingly beautiful house too!!!!!!

 

[lxskllr]

Yea, I'm more an old military truck kind of guy, but I like that house a lot. Looks like it wasn't always a residence?

 

[Mick!]

Who knows, a barn at one point certainly.

Found a picture of our pond just after I dug it and today, the paper bark birch have come on a bit!

 

[cory]

Thanks!

We never do....and it never does....

Inuit blood FTW!!

 

[lxskllr]

Birch is a cool tree. I almost got some river birch(a native here) for my side yard cause it's pretty wet, but ended up getting a dawn redwood instead. Hoping I live long enough to see it big.

I get somewhat envious about what you can grow freeland, Mick.
Stuff that I have to do under plastic.
Liked his Lotus and the Jaguar 150 better than that piece of American crap.

 

[Mick!]

You’re right about the car, does nothing for me either.

 

[Tree09]

Just got called out to another job, another local one. So that's good lol. Start tomorrow, 6 am start, grrrrrr

 

[lxskllr]

Well, shit. That was a short lived vacation :^/

 

[Dave Shepard]

6:00? I prefer to get going at the crack of noon myself.

 

[treesmith]

Tough day today. Caught 11, had 7 get off right at the canoe and hung a 10#-12# snapping turtle that also got off before I could get him in the canoe. Seven on a jig, 4 on a red Rat-L-Trap.

 

[Tree09]

Yeah, it was short lived. Oh well, they're working overtime so that is good, and i got trees lined up and a bunch more to bid so I'm gonna be swamped.

 

[Jonny]

There’s a bit of a mess to clean up a few miles away from me.

 

[lxskllr]

That sucks. Looks fairly clean considering the tonnage though.

edit:
Broke my Woodmans Pal machete today. Snapped at the handle when I was putting tips on stakes. Just looked up getting another one, and they have almost no stock at the company store, and the one model they have is insanity priced at $175. I wonder if they're going out of business. The hook on the back, and compact size made it really useful for certain things. I'll miss not having one.

 

[Jonny]

Surprised there’s not a lifetime warranty on the Woodsman’s Pal.
