Crazy,,,, I prefer 103 plus in the dry climate….. sweat all the impurities out…..
Someday I will be able to identify as a Mexican…..

My wife is Colombian, she probably gets where you’re coming from, but she’s a good sport. So long as I take her to Chena Hotsprings once a winter, she tolerates the cold for me. She’s also been in Alaska since she was a little kid, so I doubt she even remembers what Colombia is like lol

Ain't even got to be cold, water don't play. Lost a kid just south of here, three went in two got pulled out in bad shape and they're still looking for the other.

Unfortunately that happens all too often around here

Is that an Australian Cattle dog? Interesting color.

I can remember the days of driving out to the job, and sitting in the truck for an hour watching the trees sway in the wind, before deciding it wasn't going to quit and turning around and heading in. There were days we worked surveying timber when we shouldn't have for the wind, we could get away with working in a lot more wind that cutters, but there comes a time when it is wisest to skip it. I remember one morning it had snowed wet sloppy snow all day the day before (really pleasant to work in) turned to rain that evening, then cleared off and froze. We drove to the job, didn't even get out of the truck, watched the trees with tops swaying 20+ feet and no snow coming out of them because it was all froze to the limbs. The crew chief looked at me and asked, "you got any fishing gear?" We were staying in a motel, and there was nothing else to do so we went to town and bought fishing licenses and built a fire under the bridge on the highway and steelhead fished for the day. We didn't do any good, but when we pulled up to where we parked the next morning there were nine trees laid across the bare spot in the snow where we had been parking the truck.

She’s a red heeler, maybe mixed with other things, I have no clue. She was given to me by some older folks who were moving south and couldn’t bring her along.

Some days it’s just best to not be in the woods. Heck, there’s days I don’t even want my saw sitting out there. I have lost 2 of them over the years because they got smashed by blow down while I was sitting next to a wood stove somewhere sipping whiskey

lol…..l

Man, we worked some miserable days. When I wake up to a stormy morning and hear the rain pounding on the roof, I feel really good when I remember I don't have to go to work.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been out cutting lots of days I shouldn’t have. We did on Friday, and it was no bueno. I like when the wind pushes for me, but when it’s trying to whip them off the stump faster than the saw can cut, it ends up being more barberchairs than is really necessary

Saw this thread and thought my day was fitting for this I had to go cut down a tree that caught on fire with three dead ones hung up in it from weekend chainsaw warrior’s burning brush, I would have let things burn but the shed with horses probably would have caught and had been a bigger mess.
