Today....

That bull moose behind you looks interested, too, Pretty Boy. You need to stop buying doe urine from the hunting supply store... it's really not meant to be used in lieu of aftershave lotion.

You must have burned through a few blades in that Lucas, by now. Your stash is getting huge.
 
Don't be daft Jefe. Why on earth would I spend my hard earned cash on urine when I can make my own? I use my own home-brew for my day to day aftershave needs, but break out some of Peanuts (Nigerian Dwarf Goat) when I"m looking to really impress the ladies!

Just like my chainsaws, I try and keep my saw blades sharp at all times. I always take the time and clean the logs really well before milling them, and do a little touch up on the blade after every log or 2. I recently put a new blade of the Lucas and I reckon I milled around 40,000 board feet with the last one. Thats a big fucking pile of lumber my friend!

There is a shop a little over an hour from here that re-tips the blades for around $50, and they do an incredible job. Sure beats dropping $125-$50 for a new one. This is my 2nd Lucas and I have been rotating the same 5 blade for quite a while.
 
...milled around 40,000 board feet with the last one...

Yeah, that's a lot of lumber. I'd say a Metric Fuck-ton... or an Imperial Shit-ton... or something.
They're just neat mills. I always wondered what kind of blade life you'd get out of them. My oldest boy built a huge bandsaw mill for cutting slabs, but you don't get that kind of blade life out of those. That's quite the setup you have up there in the backwoods. To me, the downsides of living in the boondocks would be offset by building everything myself from one of the greatest lumber products of all time. You're a lucky guy, bro. I don't know how many people would agree, cuz it takes a special kind of crazy to want a lifestyle that involves a lot of hard work with rewards that aren't cash based.
 
???? I did have an MRI of my head done a few years back, and the doctor told me my pituitary gland look like it had been run over by a truck. I'm assuming thats probably not a good thing, and now I'm wondering if my tongue lingering on the electric fence all those years ago might have something to do with the squished gland in my brain??

This is Peanut, our new Nigerian Dwarf billygoat. Thats my good friend Gayle who we get many of our goats from. An amazing lady!

That goat looks nervous.
