Plans for the New Saw

Eagerly awaiting the Stihl 034AV Super to arrive, thanks again Jon! Had a wake to attend that was in the same town as the big tree dump I get most of my stuff from. We took a cruise through there and noticed they had chipped a lot of the brush which will make my life easier. Found some big sections of ash and some good sized maple. Going back Monday with the new saw!

 

Always nice to have centralized supply. You fortunate to be able to do that type of scrounging. Most places would get all bent out of shape just for liberating chunks let alone the size reduction portion with such a nasty tool. aka All bent out of shape liability issues wise like my recycle center. Although it doesn't seem to prevent the guys working there with any difficulties?

 

We have come across the city workers making deposits, they say that's what it's there for. They make more than enough mulch with the brush and prefer to not have to handle larger branches, let alone trunks. They fairly routinely dig out the big stuff with anticipation that someone will come take it out of their way.

 

Long time ago things around here were fairly simple mostly just common sense, now it is ww3 between the city and property owners. Or maybe I am just getting senile.

 

Where are you from, Chris? They claim here in Iowa people are extra friendly!

 

just outside Milw. WI. , used to be a fair hike into town, now it has me surrounded. They call it progress, more like regression in my book. Geeze. I not in a real good frame of mind tonight. Nothing left to use a saw on, everything split, warm enough in house to not need stove lit. Maybe I will go and have a discussion with Mr. Daniels.

 

Old guy that ran the hardware in Forest City built his house in his 30s in the middle of the country. Now he lives in town. He is not happy about it.

 

Hopefully the other girls don't beat me to the ball!

 

Its almost like Jack lives in America.!! I have said it but will say again, I too can't believe they let u cut up trees out of there let alone enter the property!!

 

It's a nice little community around here, I hope it's the same when I move to the other side of the state in 10 years.

 

How do you know you will move in 10 years?

 

Ok, I don't know, but that is my retirement plan. Move down by Iowa City, find a nice chunk of land and enjoy my winter as a season ticket holder in Carver Hawkeye Arena.

 

I didn't think you were that old jack?? Retiring in 10 yrs congrats. Unless your a bull rider or in the military most don't retire young, fire or police as well.

Was thinking you were in your 30s

 

Not retiring at that point, I have to have time to work the land! Ten years is when the kids are grown up.

 

Ahhh.

 

Saw is supposed to be here in the morning. Can't hardly wait.

 

Man you still don't have it!! Must be killing you. I know a few. Thing I have been waiting on in the mail are killing me waiting on them.

 

Columbus Day slowed it down.

 

Getting it sharpened now. Have even fired it up yet.
