Rent a good sized Vermeer. They can chip down railroad ties.
A Dutch Renaissance painter can chip down railroad ties?? Wow that girl with the pearl earring must be tough!

It liked to reach out and greet the user, pulling the wood from one's hands. I quickly learned to throw the trunks and branches like a spear. Awesome. Conversely, one of my favorite emergency room stories is about a man who tried to commit suicide by diving head first into a machine like that. It stalled, but only after tearing away part of his scalp. Bad idea. PS his attempt was not successful but left very interesting scars. DSK |

A container ship must have sunk or something because the 10 hp chipper shredders are not available nationally and the little useless 5.5 hp models are even in short supply. I finally found a 10 hp model at the 7th HD I checked. They had ONE. It's now in my barn. What do you use it for, primarily? Scotty |

I've put some heavy duty hours on it. I've tried to beat it up but it just beats me up even more. It'll take up to 3" dia and about a 10 gallon bucket's worth of leaves and twigs per load.

Scout My son in law has one of those...gets rid of a mountain of stuff in 15 minutes...never wear gloves when using one...a branch snagged on a gloce can drag you in..of course, that would make nutrient rich mulch... |

Industrial chipper? Phhht. One of my customers has a chipper/shredder that can take a dozen pallets at a time, runs off a Cat 3408 diesel. Now THAT's a chipper! Scotty |

"Scout" wrote in message ... If you lived in a cramped, second floor apartment in Queens you would have more time for sailing. Once the macadam is down, I can do a dry run (play with it in the backyard, per Scotty!) and then I'll be slipping her into the Bass River for the maiden voyage of Sheryl Lee, a 30 mile sail around the Great Bay and Long Beach Island. God willing. Hah! You'll have sailed more than RB has all season. ) |

He was in a coma for 15 years, came out of it, buried a railroad tie in the ground as a makiwari board and within weeks of his awakening managed to snap the untapered tie right off with one blow. Plus he was married to Kelly LeBrock! No need for a weight bag at all. Wow! Was that a true story? It would certainly change my opinion! Except I don't think my wife would like the Kelly LeBrock part. Did you study Shotokan? No. But I have been in several dojos that took practices from a wide range of disciplines. Fencing is more fun and almost as good exercise. DSK I will require all your talents Grasshopper, as I must flawlessly erect 800 feet of chain link fence! Scout My God you must have awfully big squirrels!!!!!! And awfully big nuts! That's a kind of personal observation.... One would think that large squirrels would be large because they consume large nuts since trees usually have a fixed number of seeds. I suspect you are right because I saw neighbors looking my way and I overheard one of them commenting on the big f-ing nut. Now I understand! Scout See! |

"Gilligan" wrote | They can plainly see that sailing (as RB does it) burns the same amount of | calories as bowling! Sailing the right kind of boat does burn lots of calories. I've got good muscle tone and some of it's because of sailing. It's good for the abs hiking out and leaning back on dinghies..... If your interested I could post a photo of my flat tummy with abs better than most men have. It goes to show that sailing can be physical. But only if you stick with the basics. Cheers, Ellen |
