Buzzards!
You must be very careful. Do Not Alarm the Mama! I don't know how far they can project vomit, and have no intention of learning!

You will have a great time watching this! I love the sound of a rock crusher munching cobbles into gravel. The old tractor and loader is a treat, too! Thanks, Merle!
Thanks, Merle, another great one!
This mama and her baby are out here just about every day. I also see another fawn, but its mama is more secretive. We have NO day lilies this year, because the deer like to eat the tops. Oh Well, they are staying out of the garden. Peter Rabbit is the little troublemaker there.
The guy behind us said our brakes smoked them Bam! We killed a deer last night, and are fine. The radiator leaks and tomorrow the adjuster will inspect it with our body man. The air bags did not deploy. That's a good thing. Adrenaline is almost back to normal. UPDATE: Almost $3200.
We got it back July 21 and it looks better than new! They even gave us a new litter bag! Fender Mender in McLeansboro, IL is great!
I like the auto-tune of the 90, but my 385 XP is still running like a youngster at ten years old. I'd like to have one of each, but an old man needs a lighter saw to pack around. Plus, I have a new jug and piston to put in the 359, and then it will be like new again. Nothing wrong with kicking the tires, though!
This nice looking Stickney was over at Evansville during the SIAM show. The fuel pump is unusual by modern standards.
13. Clear your work area and your escape path of brush, vines, and other hazards that can trip you or catch your saw.
14. Escape from the bullseye when the tree tips. 90% of accidents happen within 12 feet of the stump. Go more than 15 feet, and stay out of the bullseye until things stop falling.
15. Keep spectators away more than twice the height of the tree in the direction it will fall.
16. Don't cut alone.
17. Keep your body and the swamper's out of the line of the bar in case of a kickback.
18. Set the brake when taking over two steps or when moving through tripping hazards. Keep your trigger finger off of the throttle when you are moving.
19. DO NOT operate a chainsaw from a ladder! Operating with your feet off the ground requires special training.
20. Do not cut above your shoulders.
21. Springpoles must be shaved on the inside of the apex between the ascending and descending sides. If the apex is higher than you shoulders, stand under the springpole and cut it low on the descending side. It will release upward, away from you.Leaning and heavily loaded poles that are too small to bore cut for a hinge should be shaved on the compressed side until they fold.
22. Do not cut a tree that is holding up a lodged tree. Do not work under a lodged tree. Think about a mouse trying to steal the cheese out of a trap.
23. Instruct your swampers and helpers to NEVER approach you from behind or the sides to within the reach of your saw when you are cutting. If you pull out of a cut with the chain running, or have a severe kickback, the swamper can be killed if he is coming up behind you!
24!! Quit When You Are Tired!
