Dallas Fundraiser

[Bill G]

Give Logan a break. I have meet him in person at Steve's gtg. Logan maybe young and naive but he's a hard working kid! That's very rare these days. At Steve's gtg I was running my spliter and filling up wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow. Logan kept hauling load after load. I won first prize in the raffle at Steve's. It was a Echo saw ported by @farminkarman . I gave it to Logan. I'm 51 years old and still a dumb ass at times! Maybe everyone should look in the mirror and remember what you were like as a teenager.

Well Brad
I have never once called Logan a *pretty boy.
I have never once said a thing derogatory about his work ethic nor questioned it.
I agree folks should look back to when they were a teenager.
If they did so honestly I bet what the older folks tried to tell them then might not seem as dumb now as they thought it did then.

As for giving Logan a "break" I bet you (and others) are unaware that in this fundraiser (Dallas) and the one for John Nixon, Logan's Mom would not allow him to have a online payment account. Logan is a stand up guy and still wanted to take part. He contacted me for help. The Nixon waffle was PayPal so I sent $10 on his behalf from my account. Of course Logan being a stand up guy mailed me $10 in cash. When this waffle came about he again mailed me $10 in cash. In each case I took Logan's cash and "paid it forward" to someone local to me that needed a bit of cash.

So Brad sometimes you might not know the entire story.

If I remember correctly Bill the name you tagged to Logan was pothole correct? Is that derogatory? I think so. And again only if I'm remembering correctly you had asked him to send you the $10 if he wanted to or could for Nixons waffle. So let's keep the rhetoric factorial.

Various adults schold me that I’ll have back issues and such someday due to the heavy lifting and moving/work I do. And I will admit I don’t use my back/leg ratio correctly. In the past week my back and neck pain has been worse than ever, not terrible, but not what it should be at my age.

Don't join the oppression Olympics club on chainsaw forums.

You'll be destined to be a pussy.

I agree with the sentiment. I won’t ever retire and money has nothing to do with it. Retirement is a big fat rat race lie. Many people píss their best years away and die not long after their 40 years and gold watch.

You know the funny thing is the more you apply physical labor to the human body the more you fend off the frailty so prevalent these days. We may think it’s normal for such maladies to befall us because it’s so common, but it really isn’t normal. Eat right(mainly no simple carbs/grain), physical activity (HIIT for an appropriate physiological response), and genuine relationships should see most anyone into their 90s in great shape. Barring an unfortunate event that is.

You're smarter than you look.

I remember the first time I ever went to the chiropractor looking around in the waiting room at a bunch of guys who looked like they work at a xerox machine and wondering to myself..what the fukk did this guy do to get hurt..trip over the coffee cart..maybe tripped over a chair on a conference call.

I asked the chiropractor and he said people that don't work like you do are fragile..a little bump in a car wreck..starting a lawnmower..simple things like that these people get hurt.

Made sense after that.

There's some things there's no point in even getting caught up on or learning.

I was home schooled as well. No computers, just books.

I've learned more out of school than in school. Somethings I wish I'd never learned. I was as sheltered as they come. I'm thankful for it as well.

Going to school isn't always about what you "learn", there's a bunch of other things you learn...how to navigate the world...how to interact with people you have nothing in common with..how to deal with social realities...I could go on forever.

Ask teachers who live in reality what the covid shut downs did to kids that were isolated from reality..it isn't good.

This. Another reason my kids play sports too. They stay active and interact with different people.

Ding Ding.

It's also why society is gonna have a big problem going forward with people who are borderline socially retarded, I've met so many young people who are gullible/stupid as hell and really struggle to carry a coherent conversation with adults.

But then again..I know quite a few adults like that too.

It's not gonna work out in the long run.

I hear you. I enjoyed being around folks my age growing up when we played games/sports.

As fast as just sitting around and visiting. Not so much. Most of the conversations were shallow and flat out boring.


Now I would attach myself to the older crowd, like 60 and up men. I learned way more and the conversations were always more interesting. A lot less foolish talk as well.

On Edit: Covid, social media and smart phones have not help the younger generation at all.

You need to get them cattlemen to take you snipe hunting. It's the best meat you'll ever eat.

I'm not a big chicken fan. So I'm sure snipe meat would be even worse.....

Now for those talking about snipe hunting. I'm not sure what yall are insinuating. Yall act like its a mythical creature. Maybe were yall are from it is. But, out here they are real!

This here cattleman shot two snipe's ut of the air when he was 13 with a 22lr.

What about small chickens (Cornish game hens?)

That's the problem.

I agree, I have hung out with folks 60 and up more than I have people my age. The conversations are way more about what I’m into. I’d rather talk about machinery and politics with a 60 year old than girls and video games with a 16 year old. Our now ex-neighbor was our neighbor and slumlord on a rundown hobby farm for 14 years, almost my whole life. We talked almost daily. He had his quirks as a high school drop out and procrastinated fixing our place insanely, but some of the conversations we had I will remember for the rest of my life. He is the most talkative person me and my family know. He is still a friend of mine and so are his son and his kids, I will be visiting them occasionally when I’m in Merrill.

On the topic of sports, I never liked sports. I did a few mandatory sport games in PE in public school them 2 yrs and didn’t care for it. Nor do I desire to interact with people my age that much. I’d rather be at work or working on my projects. I have 3 friends around my age and that’s fine, they are into what I’m into, small engines and stuff.

I couldn’t agree more.

What name do you go by in the real world, no last names, just first name. Or nick name.

My real first name is Logan. Some folks call me snoopy or pothole tho.

Pothole it is, I knew a Logan, he was a dick, so I won't call you that unless you become a dick. How will you know? I will call you Logan! Lol

I am not as defeatist as you Ryan, though I understand why you believe what you do. Society has never had a majority of doers, always ebbed and flowed. It is the old hard times make strong men circle. While we are in the good times make weak men stage, they will make hard times. Which will make strong men again. This is the natural progression of things. I know some good, smart and strong young people. Have met my share of worthless as well. Do your best to help those that want to become good men.

Dallas had mentioned that his gynecologist told him he needs to keep using it or it gets fragile.

What kind of thread would this be if it didn't devolve into a family brawl?
