Nice little load.
Get all that ash you can right now before it gets real dangerous, always wear a helmet falling it and carefully watch for their branches getting flung back at you from live trees around them :eek:.

Ole farmer down the road got hit by a large limb, wasn't the same after that, died about two months later.
He was a bad old man(over 70), ran 70cc plus saws up til that accident, here he is about a week before he passed. He was running the loader while we took this down, you can see him in the background. Yes they put me in the cage with nowhere to run if things went wrong :eek:.

My first car was a 1966 Ford Mustang. Back in 1986 they were considered beaters more than classics. Fuel was 60 cent per gallon(3.7L). So this young kid could afford to feed that 5.0 liter V8 and drive it all night long out in the country blasting The Cars. I can still hear that engine and smell the night air out in the orchards.

Sorry to get all political, but...

One of the things that upsets me about the Brexit thing is it goes in the face of all those people who fought and who died in WWII to bring peace to Europe. Everything culminated in the European Union. And aside from Russia being a big fat dick, it mostly brought world peace. It's just a bit sad. But that's just how I feel.

And, if you'll permit me to ramble on further; my father, who was half Cherokee Indian, joined the U.S. Army at the age of 14 1/2( lying about his age) so he could be free of the poverty of 1940's Oklahoma, seek a better life for himself, and fight for his country. He ended up working on airplanes(he used to work oil fields in OK), and some of those airplanes bombed the bajeezus out of Osaka, Japan(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Osaka). Which is how my mother, whom was born on February 1945 in Osaka, lost her entire family. She and my father met while he was stationed in Asia in 1968 and decided to make me not much later. So, WWII is a bit close to me.

I also enjoy how I get to tell petulant teens that "At your age, my father was working in a freaking swamp in the middle of the Pacific in 100* weather fighting off malaria and wrenching on bomber planes in WWII - now put your vaping crap away!". Wow, my mothers voice just jumped in to my head.

That’s kind of crazy. I visited Osaka in January of this year for a few days.

I seen this older guy and his wife painting that picture the last time I did laundry at the tiny laundromat in town. I hadn’t went back to stop and see it up close.

Just converted from white cheapo $6/ pair to golden a little less cheapo $12/pair fogs. I feel like I spent too much on the new fogs. I did all 4 head lights in led last year for I think $18. Lol. These things are cool - plug & play. Top pic left is the new one. They are made way different even with better chips.KIMG2340.JPG KIMG2341.JPG
