My real job? Currently I spend most days shoveling snow and working in the vintage chainsaw museum.

I'll show that shirt to my wife. I've been showing her the photos of your museum. I think they scare her.

Those 562's pop like a zit if you put 2ish gallons a day 5 days a week for about 3 months.

...might be time to single things up then.

The odds of finding another one that understands are nonexistent. She tolerates the chainsaws because she loves the wood heat in the winter.

The Marine thing is a different story.

As we're neighbors, I was gonna see if you wanted to carpool, or more accurately truckpool to Mastermind's most recent GTG, but I saw where you got called in to work so I didn't bother you. I'm planning to go again this fall if things work out.

I work in Alaska in the oil and gas industry as a facility operator. It’s a fun and interesting job but certainly not a fun as falling trees for a living.

A bit over a year ago, I took a gig at an ignition interlock company. They closed business a year later, so I got with the company that took over their clients. I'm running the shop by myself now, one man show.

Basically a blow and go breathalyzer for people who have had DUI's.

I wanted to be a gynecologist but would loose my license within days and probably end up in jail

Falling trees for a living in the west isn't as much fun as it used to be. I got burned out on the straight-falling gigs pretty quickly. I did about seven years falling total. This is from late 1995 on a job near
Scottsburg, Oregon.

That is sad but true. I never got to fell trees, but got to roll around with my old man back when I was young. 90s were the heydays. I remember staying at some float camps and getting to fly out to the strip in the 500. Those were fun times!

My old man was in the woods from '67 to about '95, and he said the heyday here was from 1969 to 1979. In '79, he told us boys that the days of endless big timber were over and that he didn't want us working in the woods.

By about '84 here, the big wood was mostly shut down and timber companies that owned large swaths of private land began managing their lands intensely. There are sides here that are on the fourth cut. The Forest Service
and BLM did open some old growth back up in the mid 90's to the early 2000's but enviro-whacko lawsuits have shut any big wood sales down since then. California is now dealing with the outfall of all that.

Nice looking timber Colton! Good job cutting. Hope the 462 holds up!

When I joined this site I was a machinist, now I’m retired. Seem to have less time to get things done now than when I was working 50 hrs a week.
