Reg, snowy day here. Watching vids to help with boredom.
What are you and you colleagues wearing for saw protection? The pants with the high viz reflector stripes on the bottom. Seem to be popular with you and the scotty tree crew.
Ask to get engine oil sample. My last used truck the owner let me take two, over a period. They can tell you whats going on inside based off any wear metals, or objects found in the oil. I use Blackstone labs for my samples. Besides, a cat engine, or any engine, will cost over 10k to...
Three strand, self spliced, micro grab with spring removed. Can almost use the micro grab like a friction hitch this way with the three strand. Bomber and cheap. The stiffness comes in handy too.

Did not like wood, just wouldn't toss the chips far enough. 6-8" was max on wood if you wanted to fill the truck. Dribbled out the...

The complexity of the design is kinda silly. Plastic, electronics, just too much to go wrong. They are super...

Re: So How\'s the Weather Up North?
They say -10 with wind chill today. I don't think so, but still not working. lol
