Yup.
I thought I was watching a transformers show. There was this really good show on television and it was these Canadian lumberjacks but they never used high-tech stuff like that, they used to climb up trees and stuff. It was on television a few years ago.
Slick! A national champion lumberjack was from the next town over from where I grew up..ever seen their competition on ESPN,it is pretty cool their precision and speed with chainsaws and axes..
yeah,these are getting more and more prevalent in the logging industry,am sure they aren't cheap to buy,but the speed and efficiency of a logger and stripper all in one must really improve their bottom line..it is strangely fascinating to watch as they clear a whole section of trees..
I think the guy with the axe is passive-aggressive.
I'm related (on my mother's side) to the champion Tasmanian wood cutter, David Foster. The way that guy in that video you showed made me envious because I couldn't do that. My mother's father's relatives came from Launceston and Beaconsfield, Tasmania, after they migrated from Taunton, Somerset, England.
Yup. Try to catch it every year. But the speed climbing up and down those polls is crazy.
The American Chop Suey my family would call Slum gullion.
All I know is, I've got a sudden craving for American Chop Suey. 
Yes, it's good!And people still want to eat that?!
I make American Chop Suey so know that is good but if you suggested eating something called slum gullion, it's probably not something I'd be anxious to try without knowing the ingredients first.
looks the same, but, doesn't slum gullion make you think it's exotic?I make American Chop Suey so know that is good but if you suggested eating something called slum gullion, it's probably not something I'd be anxious to try without knowing the ingredients first.
That wasn't the word that popped to mind.

Growing up, this is what my father made me and my brother use to cut down trees. I still have it, but haven't used it in over 40 years.

That and not being stressed out by arguments in Hot Topics has been a boost to my happy place for sure.
you have been on a role with those comebacks, girl! You're always witty, but you've been hitting them outta the park! It must be the grandma hormones kicking into overdrive.
Hope she knows to make that first gandbaby Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit (bringing Maine back into the convo).
