Whacked

Magicman · January 30, 2011, 10:19:02 PM

Yup, I searched a 2008 thread in the Forestry and Logging Board:

https://forestryforum.com/board/index.php?topic=32243.0

After reading all 4 pages, I just could not argue with the consensus of the posters.

you'll like it, as an added bonus, I have found that people don't talk to me while I'm working if I'm wearing the hardhat and ear muffs :-)

"For someone that is always looking out for everyone else's safety, I don't seem to take very good care of myself. I do always wear full safety gear when sawing on the mill."

Hope that stuff from Husqvarna arrives soon! Please be well. At this rate, Jeff may have to start a whole new category just to catalog your injuries. :D :D ;D ;D

Magicman · February 03, 2011, 08:42:26 AM

:D :D You nailed me doctorb.

I guess that I have been guilty of experiencing the need, before providing the need. I starting wearing chainsaw chaps after a very scary incident when I was alone sawing and waaay back in the woods. I still have those pants. :-\

I'll wait for my new noggin protector before I fell any more trees.

Samuel · February 03, 2011, 10:07:47 AM

Glad to hear you ordered yourself some protection. That makes safety "geeks" like me happy when we see people being safe, but sorry you had to graduate from the school of hard knocks first.

Besides, you wouldn't want a fight with a limb impacting your ability to come up to Northern Alberta again to get one of those big white tails would you? :D

I have a pair of Wild Ass jeans that have a nice 8" rip across the thigh

I was the luckiest Forestry Forum Member that day!

It got through 2 layers of of the pants and just put a scratch across the top pf my thigh.

It's always chaps for me now ;D ;D

And Dan is right Nobody trys to talk to you when you have a helmet and ear muffs on.

I wear a big old pair of moto-cross goggles too

Magicman · February 03, 2011, 10:32:07 AM

I looked down and saw a shiny quarter lying on the ground. I looked around to see who was playing tricks on me. The chainsaw had cut through the double front on my pant leg and the outside of the pocket. :-\

Burlkraft · February 03, 2011, 10:44:59 AM

Oooooooohhhhh That was a close one.

Did ya find the joker that was dropping quarters? :D :D

jim king · February 03, 2011, 11:39:04 AM

Samuel · February 03, 2011, 12:04:14 PM

Bet you will remember your anniversary next year... ;D

Too close to the Johnson homestead. :

Where's the Video when you need it. We could have sent it to AFV and made some money. I have never done anything as knothead as that.

Nope, the little old Johnson was home. :-\

Magicman · February 04, 2011, 07:09:54 PM

The mail lady came today with an Amazon box. The Knothead protector came in.

Makes me feel like I wanta go kill something, but those SYP trees are already dead. I'll just fell them.

Jeff · February 04, 2011, 07:13:44 PM

The tough part is that they apparently feel the same way about you!

isawlogs · February 04, 2011, 07:19:03 PM

Probably a good thing you did not have this on, you would of had a big hole in the screen now :

;D

Magicman · February 04, 2011, 07:25:10 PM

Maybe I can at least level the playing field a bit. This thing came with a 51 page instruction manual, one of which I could read,and it was #46. I was beginning to think the even the pictures were in another language. :-\

clww · February 05, 2011, 10:52:03 AM

DanG! A 51 page manual to read?

pigman · February 05, 2011, 12:45:30 PM

If a manual doesn't have pictures I might as well throw it away. :-[

Ron Scott · February 05, 2011, 01:45:31 PM

A great purchase. ;)

Those screens will stop more than you might think.
