    Yeah, that reminds me, what ever happened to 6-7oz. "ponies" in a bottle? That used to be just the right size for my speed to ensure always having a COLD beer. Good luck on your wrists.

    and now for some bad timing---friend calls this afternoon and tells me he is having a large silver maple taken down and wants to know if i want the wood. i got a couple large branches from that tree a few years ago and that more than filled my 6X10 trailer. i had to turn it down. maybe another friend would take it.

    1 handed typing - OK
    1 handed sawing might turn into 1 legged walking:D
    There are always more trees out there.

    And now today I got a call from another friend letting me know he is having an oak taken down and wants to know if I want the wood and could get it. It is being taken down shortly and I won't be able to do much with wood until September.
    Another bummer for timing:headbang::headbang::headbang:

    Glad they marked it for you....

    May have ended up with a C-section or something, who knows what?

    The Doc wanted to make sure he did the right hand but it wouldn't have made any difference since the other one needs doing too.
