Happy Birthday Brother Noble and Jeff!

Jeff · July 21, 2011, 09:22:01 PM

Happy Birthday Noble and Charlie and thanks for the birthday wishes to me everyone. It was hot hot hot here for a Michigan Boy. I spent the day trying to make a pressure washer work and eventually had to borrow one to get the pigroaster all spic and span. Tammy took me out to eat this afternoon and then earlier this evening some people dropped by to make me look foolish and eat cake.

Boss,

50 is the start of really old

. Better eat cake while you still can!

Jeff · July 21, 2011, 09:35:07 PM

Cakes all gone. I think the average age at my birthday tonight was quite low. It was mostly kids and they gobbled it up. I'm grateful.

Oh, and Icey did get cake and ice cream spoon fed to her from me of course.

Here's Jeff sharing his cake ;D

Happy Birthday everyone.

SwampDonkey · July 22, 2011, 05:06:12 AM

Happy birthday to you older farts. ;D :D

Happy birthdat Jeff. Oh does that 50 sign on the cake represent calories?,bg

Ron Scott · July 22, 2011, 01:19:02 PM

Happy Birthday All!

Jeff, Great looking "50th" cake.

Reminds me of an old fellow with a couple dogs from years ago. The dogs usually got the first taste of anything. :D

Jeff's Birthday / Anniversary present Stacy, Jeremy, and I got him.

SwampDonkey · July 27, 2011, 05:35:55 PM

Jeff, you going to get that brushing bar for thinning? :D Better get more on than those shorts and sneakers chum. ;D If I knew you was going to go thinning, I'd come up and show you how it's done. :D ;)

beenthere · July 27, 2011, 05:48:07 PM

Why does he look so happy? Nice gift. ;)

Jeff · July 27, 2011, 05:50:50 PM

I was having a hard time holding it up. Rough day at PT.

I was caught quite off guard by the gift and the photo. I was asked to go outside and look in her trunk Donk, from what I understand the ms 362 is a bit more than a thinning saw.

First new saw I have ever owned.

SwampDonkey · July 27, 2011, 06:02:28 PM

Ohhh. So you wasn't going to put that attachment on it to go thinning after all. ;)

Warbird · July 27, 2011, 06:03:05 PM

That's a mighty fine saw, Jeff. Congrats! I absolutely love my ms-361 and am pretty sure you're going to really enjoy that 362. ;)

Jeff · July 27, 2011, 06:12:15 PM

Funny, I managed to get my husquvarna started yesterday left handed, and ran it for about twenty minutes for the first time since surgery. I got most everything I needed cut up, cut up with it. Then I get this saw today.

beenthere · July 27, 2011, 06:12:31 PM

Yah, that's a "rough day at PT" look for sure. ;D ;D

Hopefully the PT work is going ok for you, or as good as can be expected at this phase.

My SIL who is a PT recently had surgery on his shoulder and I gave him a needed ride to the PT for an early treatment. On the way home, he said he'd buy lunch so stopped at a tavern for a sandwich. One of his PT patients saw him there with the shoulder ice pack on, and got a good chuckle out of seeing the shoe on the other foot, so to speak.

Mooseherder · July 27, 2011, 06:20:58 PM

Nice saw!

Tammy's license plate is cool too. :D

WDH · July 27, 2011, 09:26:16 PM

We can try out that new saw on a couple of trees in the backyard at the Pig Roast :D.

Jeff · July 27, 2011, 09:38:30 PM

Actually, if it were not for oak wilt, I have some that need to come down.

SwampDonkey · July 28, 2011, 05:32:52 AM

That old Husky is just as tough and reliable. Mine sits for months and years and a few pulls and new gas and she's awake again. ;) Mine hasn't got 50 hours on it. 10 years old now. :D

thecfarm · July 28, 2011, 06:28:13 AM

Bring that critter up here. I'll even show you how to hit a rock with it and sharpen the chain and get it back to cutting like almost brand new. A nice present.

Jeff · July 28, 2011, 09:27:17 AM

I've always had trouble sharpening a chainsaw, mostly because it's never been my normal tool. Give me a 56 inch circle saw and I shine.

tonto · July 28, 2011, 03:17:04 PM

excellent gift, glad to see you were given the right colors. Didn't you you know "PT" stands for Pure Torture. Tonto.

SwampDonkey · July 28, 2011, 06:23:59 PM

Been working that old Stihl brush saw in some field planted white spruce. Some places involves as much but pruning as snipping off, to open the lower crown to access other trees and so they'll fall. All in all, I did manage to cut 6.5 acres this week. Each tank burns for about an hour and a half because I don't rev my saw out like a screaming jet. Don't need to, got sharp blades. ;D Some spruce buts are 5-6", sucks through in less than a second. Of course the larger buts require more rpm's, but briefly, and two cuts of course.
