First off, TGIF!! Although everyday has been Friday for almost two weeks now.
Some the the irons are getting hot and I have a formal offer to review. It's in a different trade
and my gut feeling is eff it, go for it. New things to learn and do and expand my horizons.
Most likely I will sign off and have a start date 1/04/2022.
Commenter anon thought it might be McDonald's. It's not , but holy shit..... 21.00/hr
That gives me lots of time to clean up all the small projects here and hopefully not fuck up my chainsaw. (Thanks to all the tips and tricks you all passed along)
I'm sleeping better and my attitude, so I'm told, is better. In the long run when you're running
on the tread wheel day after day you don't get a chance to reflect on things. They, the people and company
still suck for how things went down BUT I was gainfully employed all through the covid bullshit so I
guess that's a plus. I'm also not done with helping karma but that will be at a later date.
A few odds and ends:
Someone gets red-pilled
Everything is racist!!
Interesting thread on Covid and the Vaccine:
I have been asked to explain, in a nutshell, why I and my fellow travelers appear to be less worried about the virus than the vaccine, when for everyone else it is the other way around.

Here is the simplest explanation I can think of.

Even the dogs are confused....
More later...............................
I was messing around with my Kapwing video editting skilz and came up with this.....
Speaking of trees, I had a little SNAFU earlier in the week. There was a good sized tree leaning over the fence line and field. As soon as I started the notch it clamped onto the bar of my chainsaw. SHIT!
Luckily, I have a Ryobi 40V one that I use for small limbs and such so I used that to cut into backside of the tree. I wanted to let the tree down easy so that it wouldn't damage the electric fence.
As soon as I started cutting with the Ryobi the load of the overhang took over.
Turn up the volume. The sound of the wood fibers tearing was louder in person. It sounded like gunshots and a few echoed.....
That saw is from 1996 and the only thing I have had to repair was the bar oil pump.
As the tree crushed the bar it crimped the chain guide slot. They had a new one in stock at
the local hardware store.
I made a few more cuts with the Ryobi and this is the final stand for ye olde tree.
