Random Thought Of The Day

I have no idea who Cottontop is.

I believe this is the correct video -- fast forward to 9 minutes. You'll see one of your saws.

Well, I got some bad news this morning.

It was not unexpected, but my Mom passed this morning. She was 91.

Condolences Mike, I'm sorry to hear that.

 

[Billy Currie]

I'm sorry to hear this @MustangMike.

 

[MustangMike]

Thanks for all the comments guys. While it is never easy to deal with, I suppose in retrospect we should all be fortunate enough to make it to 91. My Dad was 10 years older than her, but passed 16 years ago. She was never the same after that.

My younger Daughter came over this morning to scan some pics of my Mom, so I will share a few. The first two are from the early 1950s on LI beaches, the third one is one of my favorites of my folks from the 1960s.

Sorry for your loss. My mom passed quickly in June at 94. Dam virus kept me from seeing her. Have to see her on the other shore along with my dad

Sorry to hear Mike! you have my Condolences. I know how hard it is, I too lost my mom in June unexpectedly at 77, very tough.

Continuing in prayer for you and your family this morning sir.

Being in aviation, I have always thought the equipment, parts, and work performed would be of the highest caliber and standard.... until something comes up and proves me wrong. Random screw from the supplier...

Looks perfectly fine to me, what's wrong with it, nice and smooth!

Will *s-word continue to go sideways next year

 

[Nutball]

I think so.

 

[I Know Something]

Random thought? Cut down my first ever pine tree this fall. And holy crap that stuff cuts fast!

 

[MustangMike]

White Pine is real "speed wood", but be careful of the sap buildup on your saw/bar/chain.

I also find Silver Maple to cut very fast, but with far less mess!

On the other end of the scale, Shag Bark Hickory seems to slow my saw more than any other wood, including Black Locust. Results may vary based on where it is grown, and I once encountered Black Locust that was grown in sandy soil … if you did not cut it to length the first day, you sharpened your chain every 3-4 cuts to get through it!

 

[Nutball]

Osage is worse. Cottonwood is pretty fast, but I do like silver maple.

 

[Wilhelm]

Dang it!
I forgot about the Black Friday 30% off deal on printer cartridges.

Well, maybe I won't forget about it next year.

Goulash with jalapeños and chili powder tastes like chili with noodles. Moar better

If you buy a "farm and ranch saw", and you live on a farm or ranch, does that make it a "homeowner's saw"?

Lol!!!!

You should really by a "farm boss" saw that way you can be the BOSS instead of a flunky out at the barn. But I like the idea better of "farm and ranch" -- the connotation may be
livestock, and farming on one side, hunting and fishing lodge. Even though I have not figure out how the saw can make it all happen. I may be corn-fused.

Well, the "farm boss" thing worked out pretty well, so I bought a "Pro" saw, but here I am over a decade later and I'm still leaving stumps that scream "amateur".
