The weather warmed up into the 30s today giving me an opportunity to get on the Bobcat and scrap the schit of the cattle loafing shed floor.

BS informed us that he is on vacation for two weeks. This would be a good opportunity to clean up the BS in this thread. Will someone open the gate and let me move the Bobcat into this here barn. I can have it scraped clean in a short.

30's? damn! Aren't you skeert yer snow will melt?

grin

I got the wood stove door open behind me here, waiting for a couple unsplit tamarack chunks to take flame so I can shut the door & choke down for the night.

Plowed a few miles of access for myself & neighbors out in the country with a 40 year old 3/4 ton pickup with a blade. (snow)

Drank the last 2 beers in the fridge, had a couple egg nog calverts... and a glass of wine. Hoping for a decent nights sleep and a reply along the line here from Stick on saw chain opinion.

g'night all stick haters and followers.. and thick skins like myself that just dont mind either way.

Remember, it's just the inner'net.



Something clever here.

He ain't never gonna be warm and cuddly. He is what he is and I "got over it" years ago.

Comes down to it and my nutz are in the wringer, druther have that grumpass behind me, that any of the sensitive, thoughtful pontificators who are stuck on his less than comfy quirks.

I've known worse. He ain't botherin' me none, or much.


If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

Lots of folks on this planet, not everyone is gonna like everyone else. Got a suspicion that some wouldn't like him even if he'd co-authored a Dale Carnegie course?

Primarily, because while they're stuck all week behind a desk, or some job they hate, ol' Grumpass is generally muckin' about in the woods or on the water? Just a hunch. ;O)


There was a bunch of us got here by way of the old "shooters" site . I was having conversations with Larry about the 338 RUM when he left there for here so I followed .

I've always thought that "envy" explained why some folks seem compelled to mix it up with him verbally .He ,OTOH, seems to thrive on contention.I never have gotten the impression he thought he knew more about a particular subject than anyone else in the world. But he damn sure claims to know more than whoever is in his sights at the moment .grin

It just takes wisdom to know the difference I guess.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Put another way...

Honesty and tact sometimes collide. Given a choice, I'll take the latter.

Some famous quote I'd guess...

The way I see it Dave.... Great entertainment value and iffin a feller don't want to get his nuts thumped, he may better remain on the sideline.
Never saw Stick feed anyone bad information...recken he just don't tolerate differences of opinion very well wink
He does have a way with words don't he?

G - yes he does, and I think his tone and delivery has improved, and content very much of value.

Sometimes losing the riddle might convey even more value to folks, but he shoots straight - in what he says, and that can't be said for all - whether knowingly done or not.

It's always nice hearing other's experience, sometimes different results, though w/same equipment - as that's how things sometimes work. We all often have a little and sometimes more than so, different opinions, and that is ok. Just how it is, less boring that if everyone were clones.

Where would the entertainment and educational aspect of this forum be w/o sharing varying experiences, gear, and results?

I welcome it.

A bunch of different cameras. You can see which one took a particular photo by right clicking the photo and then clicking "view image exif data".

Had my Canon 1D Mark 3/17-40L combo in the pack today and think highly of it,for beating upon in general and fending weather conditions.

[Linked Image]

Ordered the Siggy 50mm F/1.4 the other day,while setting on the tarmac awaiting a connect home and hope to gun some Chrome with it,these next week(s). Wanted it for bokeh blowout and perspective pokes,via razor thin DOF. I think THE sleeper glass of All Time is the Tammy SP AF28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di Macro...I love that thing. Generally have the Canon 70-200 F/2.8 and 100-400L in the bag too.

Had prolly "too many" bodies for a spell,with a 40D,1Ds,1D MK2n and 1D Mk3 in the bag...but begrudgingly tripped the '2n. So I shoot all 3 Canon DSLR sensor sizes and am a Crop Slut. Will revisit the 1Ds with the 50/1.4 melding,if only in fairness,as ISO latitude was one of it's greatest hurdles.

Will have to sort through here and catch up with the Whining.......................(grin)

You Texans do insecurity,better than anyone.

Undoubtedly,because it's well founded.

Congratulations?................

It seems JGRaider is the only one that get's it,
Big Shtick can be vile and belligerent for thousands of posts........then slip in a couple pic's of pure innocent children for misdirection so you think he is warm and cuddly.
It amazes me that poeple can be manipulated so easily.
If you look at his body of work 80% is vile pompous arrogance, about 10% is true useable knowledge that you can gain something from and 10% is what he is doing on this thread, damage control.
I have got to hand it to him though he is good at his craft because obviously some of you buy into it.



I ain't very good at riding the couch,but you is incredibly adept.

Congratulations?

As an aside,it'd crack me right the [bleep] up,if you were dumb enough to think I was "mistaken" somewhere. Factor that as a Deuce Dog Dare.

Laffin'.............

Merry Christmas to AK!
I'm sure Santa will have lots of good schitt when he gets to you, 'cause he aint' leavin' much here for me. I've been bad.

Don't change at all, BS. Some of us appreciate hard cold truth and despise fluff.
We get plenty of that daily from the puzzies which seem to have us surrounded.
