All's fair in love and SNARK!!

So the people who sent me a bent Fine foresters axe replaced it, with a Les Stroud Bushman Axe which is a more expensive axe, and it seems they hand picked it because its not sloppy at all.
Damn nice to have something go better than expected. I like the handle on this one WAY better. Its thicker and straight, and the blade cover fits better.
What a day !

I'm glad that worked out for you Sil. That Bushman axe looks really, really good.

I'm distantly related to Ricky Skaggs. My great grandmother on my mother's side's name was Skaggs.

I'm distantly related to Vasco da Gama. They say he could bring smoke off an almanaque.

No shit, and sometimes more than a little embarrassing.

Also embarrassing... I just ordered running tights.

Sorry, I can't get past the tights.

I think all the mods should wear them at the next gathering.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. Onions and squash from supper last night.

Thile is from another galaxy.

 

[cbwoods67]

dammit. didn't need to know about a new axe right after buying another chainsaw

Stihl 261. MOAR POWER. 11 lbs. damn.

mmm, new axe...

I ran a 261 a couple summers ago. Pretty good saw.

 

[1066vik]

Stihl 261? not a bad saw.
Husky 372xp? no need for moar power.
(but if I do, there's the 36" sawmill bar with a Stihl 076 on each end in the shop)

Mornin lunatics! Thanks for the birthday wishes. Mmmmm cold pizza for breakfast
Ooops, did I say that out loud ?

maybe...
breakfast today.

@ Tradewater, This axe is pretty darn nice. Well done all around. Its not as thin as the Fine Foresters Axe, but its nicely balanced and I really really like the straight handle. Its much thicker and more comfy in the hand, and the straight handle lets you use the hammer poll easily and correctly. I think I need to get the edge thinned just a little but other than that its very very nice.

That looks almost like a knock off unimog. I would love a unimog! Like for real I would sell my sister to get one!

I think Unimogs have more of a nose on the front, but it does resemble one, fo sho. This looks better, imo.

Washing clothes, place settings, tights and now all these OK lumberjacks. I think I'll go read some old Snark threads.

umm....sorry about that. I'm blaming it on meds....and general ineptitude with the interwebz and declining flexibility in coping with the modern world.

so you're saying that if we sacrifice you to the internet gods they will be appeased and let us get back to making fire, showing pictures of bacon, and using knives?
