Weekend_Sawyer · November 22, 2002, 05:11:00 AM

You guys are GREEDY, I'll settle for a new Stihl MS460. can I get a 24" bar with that? Please?

Frank_Pender · November 22, 2002, 05:27:44 AM

Jeff, I would never ask you to buy me anything for Christmas. I would like to have you help me find someone to order Douglas Fir dimensional lumber, as I have about 20,000 bdft of logs in the log yard at this time. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Noble_Ma · November 22, 2002, 05:56:05 AM

Frank you leave on the left coast instead of the right coast ;D I'd order some from you to build my barn.

CHARLIE · November 22, 2002, 07:09:40 AM

I'd like the new Powermatic lathe with the head that slides down the bed. It's only a little over $3,000 which is nothing compared to what the other guys are asking for.

Jeff · November 22, 2002, 09:19:06 AM

There aint a one of you guys I will let sit on my lap and thats the only way to request gifts from me.

Weekend_Sawyer · November 22, 2002, 10:19:25 AM

Well, in that case, nevemind... my old saws are running fine... thanks for the offer tho.

Noble_Ma · November 22, 2002, 10:28:34 AM

Hell, I'll settle for a hat ;D

Weekend_Sawyer · November 22, 2002, 01:12:44 PM

... and you are almost there Noble_Ma!

woodman · November 22, 2002, 06:50:17 PM

Frank_Pender · November 22, 2002, 07:00:18 PM

In that case, jeff, I withdfreaw my request. I will find my own market. ;D

Frank_Pender · November 22, 2002, 07:02:35 PM

Noble Ma, Iffen I can find a truck deadheaded to your pasrt of the world, when do you want it delivered? 8) 8) 8)

Scott_R · November 22, 2002, 07:03:05 PM

PEACE AND HARMONY!?

Jeff · November 22, 2002, 07:09:59 PM

If you spell like our scholastic reps Frank and woodmills you must have meant a piece of her money.

WV_hillbilly · November 23, 2002, 05:50:01 AM

I agree with Woodman the older I get the less time I have to do the things I want to do . So 6 extra hours a day would be nice.

Hillbilly

Jeff · November 23, 2002, 05:53:45 AM

The best I can do is give you 4 hours extra a day from Tuesday through Sunday but that means cancelling Mondays. ;D

Noble_Ma · November 23, 2002, 06:38:09 AM

Frank, you deliver!! Now that's service ;D

Frank_Pender · November 23, 2002, 06:51:11 AM

Noble_Ma, My state and national tax accounts, State dept of Rev and IRS) say I have to charge at least a $1.00 mile for service, otherwise it would be considered a gift for you and taxed and income for me and would be taxed. :'(

Noble_Ma · November 23, 2002, 07:01:43 AM

So I guess that means one hell of a delivery charge Frank.

Tom · November 23, 2002, 10:27:18 AM

They get you at every turn. Who's the Boss? ???

I was once told by an ageing wise man, "don't ever forget that you work for yourself regardless of who you work for".

A wise saying that deserves some thought, but we've let the tail wag the dog to the point that we have to answer to someone else regardless of what we do. :P :-/

Jeff · November 23, 2002, 10:51:05 AM

Thats pure bunk. I am glad I dont live on the left coast when I hear something like that. If a guy could find someone to do a back hall from west to east coast cheap, then should be the only charge. That's between the trucker and the guy getting the wood.

Frank are you driving the truck? Do you own the truck or the trucking company? Then maybe you are providing the service, otherwise how could service even enter the equation? We have almost all our grade aspen lumber delivered by back haul that would otherwise be a deadhead and it don't cost us $1.00 a mile.

Frank_Pender · November 24, 2002, 07:59:30 AM

I sure messed this all up. I am sorry. I have a friend that shuttles truckers all over the country. I was going to ask him if he had any truck in the area and what it would cost to send a full load or a partial back to the East Coast on a deadheaded truck. Then I began to think outloud (which was a mistake) about just using my F450 and hauling the lumber, Which obviously was even a bigger mistake to mention and said somthing about a dollar a mile. I could not haul enough to build an outhouse on the thing. It was all a tavisty of thought mismanaged at my end. I appologize to one and all. :'(
