My family and I lived in the UK for three years when I was a teenager and I do remember that fog. Now my wife and I live in New England and the fog is just the same. This morning around dawn visibility was around 150-200 feet.

It really has. One of the reasons this Texan stayed in Ireland is it really does feel like I am back in time - especially when I have to deal with the government or country folk. Not unlike the country in Texas, mind you.
It is amazing how much they film in Ireland. There is always something being filmed. Sort of annoying, cause they often wanna film in areas we want to hike or walk our dogs!
The last time I was in Sligo, a friend took me on the beach and the damn thing literally sand blasted me.
Took my face weeks to recover.
We're right off a large river, and we have two ponds. It gets rather misty here when the air chills.
Sun doesn't climb very high mid winter:
The oak on the left here is the one you see me cutting on in the 288 thread. The floods finally took her down. We're about 200 metres from the River Suir here. The other side of that sign says Waterford. The Suir is the border.
This is our bridge view from both sides:
The estate covers a fair bit of land up in to the Comeraghs, so some days you can climb above it.
This is what's hiding under that mist:
Not a monster but was fun.

The old Ireland, slowly fading away into the history books...which will vanish too soon.

I've never been to Ireland, but I imagine it's a lot like Wales, which was nice. We lived in Cambridgeshire for three years in a large subdivision in Huntingdon. It was pretty cool to live abroad as a teenager and I learned a lot. Those photos basically look like what I've been seeing for the past five days here in Maine on the coast. That being said, I would never live in the UK full time. I found the opposite to be true about dealing with most people in the UK. When I was 15 I was accused of having a knife on my person and then threatened to a strip search by some fat old cop in a Peterborough shopping mall. The "knife" was actually a kids toy from a McDonald's happy meal. Perhaps the countryside is different, but being a small island there isn't much countryside. Rural life is the same in every country, and so is urban life.
Second time I have been asked this. Lol
The top was broken out of it. Had another top but it was offset, the weight was into the lean but the offset top was going to hit first and I wasn’t sure how far it was going to move the butt. It came over toward me but I was behind the tree. I set the trigger so I could gtfo.

If you’re worried about a log sliding at you use a humboldt face, if you want the butt to roll a certain way play like a kicker or a snipe.

Is always using a humboldt cut ok? My wife operates the winch while I use the chainsaw when we fell trees and I just cut them all Humboldt style, usually with preload from the skidding winch.

Sure they are, they are just harder to do all the time (as opposed to the traditional notch) because gravity is working against you instead of for you.
As such, I only use them when I think they are necessary.
