Bourbon, my favourite is Jack Daniels but there's this other really nice one called Elijah Craig, bit more expensive so I usually get Jack's.

Whisky, hmmm, not into anymore much, cant say my favourite.

Ahh, Jack Daniels - good choice! It'll be that or Bushmills for me thanks.

And let me tell you, this thread is one s l i c k piece of work! It took me almost five minutes to figure it out. Very nice

A-lopa ... so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Deepest sympathy is extended to you and your family.

I too had a really tough last few (5) weeks with my Dad ... who is 75yo. Thru this life, he's had a few bouts of renal cholic ...with a significant event just recently.
This time he NEARLY lost a kidney thru infection ... which also sent his heart haywire....so its been a roller-coaster ... snow-ball ... you name it... and a hugely worrying time . So if I've been tetchy around the place ... thats why.
(As of Thur nite just gone, the calculi removed... and now sitting up large as life... ticker back to normal... and it looks really good from here on. A HUGE relief for the family).

Weather wise...we've also had huge amounts of rain (mthly av fell in just 2days).
There has been local flash flooding and local road diversions ... (and its raining AGAIN this morning).
I took this photo the other day from a high point in our village .... and labelled some features. In it you can see free-water lying on the flats... although the actual levels fluctuate hour to hour.

So that is my suburb...village...and an Arborists paradise.....

and I'm probably gonna get chased off here soon by my 20yo "Lard Lad" son ..but not bofore I read all the newest posts HERE.

I don't like hangovers so avoid drunk big time, but a beer is nice.

Hey TREE-SURFER, what's your favourite drink, whether alcoholic or not.

Mine is definitely beer.

Yeah, they can get those grabs for the crane booms now and just climb/cut ... really top class stuff.

My tribe is three girls 9,6 and 2 and two boys 5 and 3
I drink guiness when i feel like one, same, I hate hang overs + I'm on 24 hour call out for Aerial Rescue.

No lottery tickets for me.

Its just a way the government gets you to volunteer your money to them. I think people would have alot more money at retirement if they invested the same money instead.

$20 per week x 52 weeks x 40 years = $41,600.....and that is without any interest compounding.

and I no people who do alot more than that.

Streyken · 8th February 2008, 04:13 PM

Dynamic insertion of name field - nice. Great way to get a thread going quick, I'll have to remember that.

Well, on with the thread. Been snowing on and off here for the last few weeks, put a big slowdown on work, not because there isn't any, but because trudging up and down snow covered yards hauling brush just sucks.

Time flies ScottWojo, so how's things down your way? Don't be shy now.

Wow my very own thread?

Well I have been studying books on modifing 2 stroke engines. Reading threads at Racesaws.com, building mufflers and waiting for our third baby girl to come out of my wifes vagina. should be two to three more weeks.

Thanks for caring. Its nice to know you people really care about me.

Scott.

Hi Ekka, thanx for the thread mate. Looks like you got something good going here.

groundpounder · 8th February 2008, 04:40 PM

Hey everyone. Been a while since I checked in. Been hard at work on my midlife crisis. Happy to report it is going well.
My condolences to you and your family A Lopa.
Been snowing in the mountains for weeks on end. Best snow pack in many years means lots of water for green lawns this summer. Some snow down here on the prarie, but nothing like the high country. I am ready for the warm weather.

Eric, No lottery tickets for me thanks. Winning would spoil me.
I like good local beer in the summer and usually settle for a glass or two of good ruby port in the winter.
Been working on a new pruning procedure. Not real good with a backhoe yet, but I'm practicing.
