A four foot level has bite the dust.
I fixed the bush hog today and was mowing in front of the house down by the garden.
We use the bush hog like a mower. We do mow a lawn with a mower.
I was going to build a herb bed around  rayrock last fall. Never got to it. Somehow I left my level down there too. I was mowing and saw the 4x4 and the level. came back around and hit one of the 4X4 four and that was it for the level. The front tire run it over as I was stomping on the brake.
Can be used to level out rounded corners now.

Like my father. Leave a few tools on the ground when fixing something in the field and dig it up next fall on the harvester when it rides up the elevator bed.  ffcheesy ffcheesy

Quote from: firefighter ontheside on March 11, 2025, 08:05:39 PMHere I am with head down in shame.  We had a call today with a person who had fallen while at the bottom of a very large hill.  This person was probably 350 lbs.  we weren't carrying them up.  We had to cut a path up a creek bottom to be able to get a sxs close and then carry the rest of the way.  The chainsaw I was using was idling way too high.  See where I'm going.  On one of my cuts I turned and swung the saw a bit too close to my leg.  It caught my pants and scratched my leg.  And I do mean scratch.  It wasn't even bleeding.  I did rip the hole bigger to make sure the damage wasn't bad.  It was not.  I asked the captain of the truck it came off of to either fix the idle or have our small enigine guy do it tomorrow.  I got very, very lucky.  First time I've ever done that.
Years ago we were selling firewood.  I came in for lunch one day and looked at my insulated coveralls and found them cut just above my knee.  Saw had gone through all three layers of the coveralls but not my pants underneath and I never realized it until I sat down.

Hardened steel in the field chopper knife head kind of ruins a day and quite a few cnotes.
