Yeah but I almost got into loading shells and blanks but I was afraid too.Do what you want but don't shoot your eye out [or the tree

].

Who do you think I am, Dick Cheney?

I've got a Mech 500 shotshell reloading press, in 12 ga. And Lee reloading stuff for my .30carbine, .45-70, & .40. So it's not like I'm messing with ammo and don't know what I'm doing.

Maybe I should say "Don't try this at home!!!!" But it'd come out more like "watch and see how it turns out for me, then if you're gonna try it, use my info and design as a basis and try it accordingly" There probably isn't anyone else crazy enough to try it. I'm not worried about it.

newguy18 · 8th January 2008, 08:23 PM

its alright if you know what your doing just don't say hey ya"ll watch this before the test fire.Everytime I say that I get hurt so I shy away from saying that while climbing.

newguy18 · 8th January 2008, 08:35 PM

anyway back on subject I went out and did some yard work as its still slow here but on monday I start another land clearing job and since its the same guy I did the last one for he asked for my opinion on a live oak tree that has limbs that touch the ground and everyhing in his wooded area. I told him I'd leave the tree alone I wouldn't dead wood it or anything because it has no targets and its in the middle of his wooded area.I'll take a pic of the tree and post it.It looks good in my opinion.

Need a darn lisence to go fishing here in NSW now!!!

bigshea13 · 9th January 2008, 05:24 AM

same here. thats just one more way for the individual states to get money. believe it or not you must obtain one for each individual state. what a crock. they should put licenses on having kids.alot of the reasons they need money is to support the unworking portion of the country{which is alot} a good house cleaning is definatly needed in this damn country.

keepin the hard workin down......but keepin them workin. ive seen game wardens issue fathers who take their kids fishing for first time tickets because they didnt have a license themselves. maybe theyd rather the father tought them how to steal or defraud. the kids would probably be better off truth be known.

Pruned back one limb on a huge Plane Tree (Platinus) at the Royal Courts of Justice in central London. security tighter than a ducks whotsit but a good job. Even heard the bell of St Clemments.(ask your kids)

The navy had a device that would launch a line from boat to boat and it incorperated a shot gun. so my dads navy buddy says.

newguy18 · 12th January 2008, 09:21 AM

I actually *have* a Browning 45-70 naval arms long gun. What a coincidence!

It'd be interesting to shoot a throwbag with something that's intended for taking down rhino's though.... "yeah, i need to get a line over that limb 400 feet up there...."

JayD · 15th January 2008, 08:17 PM

Well what a day we had! Our first job was a conifer T/D that had split at the co-dom union, Well I put the first cut to it and I was surrounded by wasps, Lucky for me they were not pissed off, this conifer had wasps from bottom to top...we packed up and told the owner to take care of them and ring us back to re book..bugger that. Then we rolled to our next job which was a small job then the heat hit...jeez...it was bloody hot! I had sweat in my eyes and it felt like a up hill battle...i'm sitting at home now having a nice cold drink

..How the hell do you handle the heat in QLD I'd die!!

I know the heat is hard on you guys, but I want to sincerely thank you all for having a tennis tournament in formentioned extreme heat (Australian Open)on my big screen with thin athletic bodied females running in skimpy attire (that clings to them) (while I am unfortunately stuck home on a snow day.

Ekka · 15th January 2008, 08:33 PM

LOL, I bet that was a nice change of temperature.
