A few years ago in stop-n-go downtown traffic, some old lady in a Saturn tried to sneak in front of my bucket from the passenger side. Her car was completely below the hood/my line of sight and in front of all of my mirrors. Needless to say, I crunched that car pretty good.

You should've seen how the lug nuts and studs on my front wheel just chewed thru those plastic body panels!

Our ground guy said a good one today. He's over there complaining about how tough

When a groundie starts talking trash about how hard they have it and how easy I have it up in the tree, I love to put them in a saddle and have them either start spiking up a spar or body thrusting up anther tree. Most of them make it about 5' up before stopping and admitting "Wow, this is a LOT harder than it looks!" If they still don't get it, hand a 395 or 066 up to them and tell them to start it. The whining usually stops immediately.

I will give this a go. I'll just have to be careful about how long he tries to drag it out. He's a bit of a slacker anyways

Put'em side by each, but not too close apart.

Not sure if I commented on this thread so if I did forgive me.

Some of the best deals you make are the ones you walk away from.

We are more interested in growing better than we are in growing bigger .

That is all.

Saw this on TV tonight. "Don't wrestle a pig, you both get dirty but the pig likes it."

"God I hope this works" is one of my favorites.
One day we were laughing and joking about the jawsaw. Now when someone says something dumb..."You're a jawsaw"

I haven't been in the field for awhile so those are at least a couple years old.

@ Tr33Climb3r; What is a jawsaw? Maybe you've already explained this, and I missed it going by. Please, don't call me a jawsaw for asking. Thanks.

I really like the "God, I hope this works" line. Who hasn't said that to themselves.
