60+ year old thread.

Lol at the suggestions guys! I think my boss's boss may be pulling for me too at this point. Small steps.

I used to work at a "certain specialty steel company in Reading PA" that shall go unnamed becuase of what I'm about to reveal. December was essentially a lost month. Work slowed to a crawl, people took llllooooonnnngggggg lunches, and so on. There was a certain cabinet in a certain location in the lab where I worked that was stocked with hooch the entire month. Guys would loiter in there drinking *ahem* soda for hours on end. Coming from a straitlaced high tech outfit as I had, this culture shift was a bit of a shock. For about 2 seconds.

 

Afternoon all:
Hope you bought some of the Rugers when they were making the barrels for them !!!!

 

Well just start now. Welcome. Coolers are on the right. Newbies fill it. Grab an empty chair.

Pushing 60; close enough, pull up a chair and join in.

I always had some carpenter bees flying around the back garage, this year there were MANY MANY more! My neighbor gave me a carpenter bee trap and I figured I better put it up-----it works!

 

evening Carl

I made a carpenter bee trap... think I caught about a dozen of those boogers. I hate killing them, but they're chewing up my arbor

 

Morning all:

Dang; digging out stumps, made a carpenter bee trap, but can't catch any nice fish! Looks like that's something you're going to have to work on.

Which one you buying?

 

I'm impressed!
I've taken a few trees down, I'd leave the trunk 6-7' tall, strap a come-along to the base of next tree and keep it tensioned while you cut the roots/remove dirt.
It works well! Sawzalls are helpfull as well...

 

I'm not. Saw it and thought you guys might enjoy seeing a classic.

here too

Gave a neighbor all the wood. Gonna tie a tow strap to them when it's time to cut the last roots, then pull them out. Then put them on the street with a sign "free bonfire" starter. One of the other trees I took down, left the trunk a few feet tall, and when all the roots were cut, couldn't lift it out of the hole so I pushed the trunk one way, put dirt under it, pushed it back, put more dirt, then back again until the hole was full and the stump was on top That tree wasn't nearly as big.

 

Gotcha, I've done this with trees with large rootballs, it works well...

 

If this doesn't work then I give up.
Take that u strawberry thieves.
