how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

There is a boat company that offers a hammock as an accessory. If you have about $100K burning a hole in your pockets that is, for new. Oh, and no electronics.

Wow! that's nuts.
I'd own a whole lot of really cool stuff before I had an extra $100k for a boat.

As long as it it usually floats and has a reliable engine, a sub $5k Craigslist special would do me just fine.

Once you start down that rabbit hole there is no turning back. Mine was a bit more than $5k but I was looking for that particular style of boat. Lots of floor space where people can move around each other. I know I can't go back to anything other than a deep-v now.

I really liked your ship.....much better than the usual bass boats, imo.
If I was as committed to it as you, I'd be looking for something very similar.

How is the sickness today? Main thing going around in this area is sneezing a couple days before the coughing starts.

Still not right....

Mild fever, intermittent sore throat, gooped up sinuses, a bit of sneezing, brain fog, coughing, and generally buggers everywhere.

Oh yeah..... and more recently, some unpleasant stuff going on in the "south end" of things.

Sounds like something similar to a bug going around here.
The misses had a bout of something that resembled RSV that lasted about 2 weeks and then when that was about cleared had something digestive/intestinal related nail her for another 2 weeks. A week and a half later she is seeming to have finally worked through it all.

I'm sorry for anyone with it.
Being sick sucks.

Committed or needs to be committed? Fine line there.

 

[Semotony]

I left out that a couple-3 years ago after hospital visit with primary and had 2 weeks of flu or covid stuff. Last influence similar was swine flu many years ago

Yes a fine line on many things. My attitude is a boat is just a hole in the water that needs money thrown into, again and again

Picked up a couple of burls yesterday. I'll take off the bark on the second one later.

Pecan?

Happy Sunday y'all.
I just saw a post on FB by some guy who's taking a chainsaw training class.lol I thought it was a joke but after looking at the post and the replies it appears to be a serious post. I guess it's not hard to believe that there's people that ignorant in this day and age. I taught my myself to use a saw with an Eager Beaver when I was 14. The only injuries I've sustained are scratches and punctures from Osage thorns. Anyway, the thought of classes to operate a saw really struck me as odd.

 

[Only the Tony]

Pecan?

Yep. Pulled from the tree when we were splitting them. Not very big but neat to look at.

 

[Fishnuts2]

UGH!!!

 

[Workshop]

Evening everybody. Got some more junk cleaned up out back. Hopefully have it done in a couple of weeks.

 

[Hinerman]

No worries..
We’ll split on…
There will be a GTG soon enough..

What is this GTG you speak of?

 

[Hinerman]

Looks to be the perfect day for volume firewood making. You guys be safe. Let the chips fly.

We did. I am still pulling chips out of my ear thanks to Matt, and I had ear plugs in...

Of the food of course.

Thank you for breakfast. You do a fantastic job at cooking on sight. I don't thank you enough...

Some people need a lesson. I applaud those who recognize the need. Lots of chainsaw injuries to people without a clue. I work with a guy that cut into his knee cap because he is clueless...

He told me he went into the saw shop and told them he wanted the biggest saw they had. Keep in mind he was clearing cedar trees, small ones at that. The shop talked him down to an MS250. First time out he got into his knee. From what he described it sounded like kickback...

[Hinerman]

Yup..
Same one..
After Scott’s cut, I put about 5 more lbs of welding rod into it and hadn’t broke again till yesterday.
Pecan wants to fight a bit.

You need a super split. I may go on strike until you get one. All that high end equipment, and no SS....

Good point. Kickbacks would be a great class subject.
