goose Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Going to work on a 30' Maple with the Lad. It was planted too close to the house...which was not a problem three decades ago, but now it's just too much tree in the wrong place. I monkeyed up the tree with a hand saw and, with Junior's guidance, managed to de-limb most of it, dropping the huge branches perfectly between a shed and the house on one side and through the open fence gate on the other. No more unrest in the forest. Edited April 17, 2018 by goose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) I got a call last week from one of our best customers .. He's 76 years old, told me that he'll be spending a good part of the summer in The Hamptons ( must be nice ) and that he'll need someone to take care of "Hemi" while he and his wife were gone .. I don;t want to store her, and you'll have to keep all the fluids running and fresh Hemi is his Challenger, and I did some tinkering last fall and brought it up to 520 HP Being the kind soul that I am, I told him that I'd be happy to keep Hemi fresh and running well ... I picked her up today Edited May 11, 2018 by Lucas 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Found out Peter Gabriel’s albums will finally be available for streaming on Spotify. Hoping it hits Amazon as well. Once my yearly bill ends at Xmas, I’m sticking to Amazon Unlimited since the audio quality is better and offer more expanded versions of albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I drove from Tahoe to Portland yesterday, by way of Crater Lake. Breathtaking scenary, with plenty of deer and pronghorn antelope to see. By the time I was making my way along the Rogue and Willamette rivers it was late afternoon/early evening, so the light accented everything perfectly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time I was making my way along the Rogue and Willamette rivers it was late afternoon/early evening, so the light accented everything perfectly. I saw a group of 5 (pronghorns in CANADA) half an hour south of Regina on Wednesday. I assume they were males as the females are in calving season. Only one of the males was older (had a mane) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your phone bill is $150?! When you add all the extra stuff like monthly iPad payment and tax and it’s also unlimited. Oh and it’s Verizon which explains it.

The Cat 3 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Kind of silly but I had one "missing piece" in my Genesis collection, which was the set "Archive 1967-1975". I, finally, won an EBay auction today, at "less than extortionate prices". Yea!!!! :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
