So. EXCELLENT. ,

I have never been so BETRAYED.

I also have never been so ashamed and humiliated.

I’m also a US military veteran. (> 15 years) And elected public official. (>3years)

volodymyr zelenskyy is the strongest man alive for sitting through this utter bullshit without swearing or punching the fuckers or angry crying. fuck trump and fuck everyone who did not vote for harris and fuck russia.

like i can’t even read this bit of news without feeling humiliated and i’m not even fucking there.

i am terrified that i will have to sit back and watch the loss of ukraine in front of my eyes.

We only cohabitate with nature, it’s the greatest thought fallacy that we have dominion over Nature. Man has been here only a very short period of time, man will be replaced quite easily because we do not recognize how to sustainably live in relationship with nature. Nature will continue on over men’s bones and vast achievements. Nature does not have a ego.

I was in their environment, so I don’t blame them.

You often see this kind of comment made after someone is attacked by a shark or bear. And it took me a long time to understand, but that is a thoroughly wrong headed thought process.

We don’t enter sharks, bears, raccoons, or anything else’s environment. And they do not enter ours. We are a much a part of nature and the environment as any other living thing, and vice versa. You, me, everyone has a much call and cause to swim in the ocean or walk in the mountains any other living thing.

We keep separating ourselves from nature and the environment to the point we’re we get a God complex thinking we need to “save” it. Or, on the other end of the spectrum “it ain’t mine, so fuck it”. And because of it, we do really dumb shit to our own home.

They say all politics is local. Well, so is nature. And when you separate yourself from it, it becomes someone or something else problem, or responsibility. But the problem is, that ain’t the case. You cannot remove yourself from it, it is the natural world, and we are all part of it.

We have a much right and responsibility to hug trees and not pollute, as we do to fill a deep freeze with venison. We have as much right and responsibility to be good stewards of our home (nature) as we do to utilize the resources contained in it. And until we stop viewing tree huggers as hippy commies and hunters as evil murderers our house (nature) won’t be getting any cleaner or any better.

Until we stop thinking about nature in absolutes, we will continue to find it harder and harder to maintain, and live in, our home.

Absolute TRUTH ! ! !

How can people not get this. Almost all of you know people like this (they’re old now and mostly dead). However the ones that followed to displace selected autocratic leaders, you do know. Iraq……… …..Afghanistan……others also…….and now Ukraine, yes independent Americans are fighting with them.

Stop being hypocritical and defend democracy instead of tearing it up.

Just This !

Ne pas prendre la vie trop au sérieux... Un après midi entre amis...

Surveyed the blackberries and it’s not looking good for jelly time this year. Enough water but all ar the wrong growth times. ☹️

I LOVE this description!

Having been,on occasion, the person tied into a tree with the chainsaw in hand; you have got to KNOW/LIVE that knowledge or bad things will happen.

Well done. Accolades. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

tyler, at the point where torsion is not applied makes a shallow pie cut(open face), The compression wood is then somewhat relieved, this opens the tree up for barber chairing which can be extremely fatal. The part I decieded to film at is when he stepped and bucked down into a lower and more ducked position incase of minor barber chairing which can occur but isn’t likely if you make your cuts right. Hickory like this is strong meaning a 5% hinge is critical. burrow cut/plunge cut into the center than move tword the face cut to make a 5% hinge. the back wood and the hinge spot are what we call fiber plates that are holding that tree together, the back is under tension, the hinge under compression. after moving forward to leave 5 % hinge, cut backwards in the plunge cut tword yourself till a tension fiber plate of 5% is remaining. When their is still potential for spring loading your spar/snag while bucked in, it isn’t wise to continue your borrow/ plunge cut out the back twords your face as you can buckle your arms and saw chuck your face or not get your saw out fast enough to prepare for the pop and release. Tyler is tied in to a tree adjacent to him but on MRS/DRT and not as a trunk anchor and not in the best spot, it’s back up so he doesnt whip if he gaphs or spikes out from spring back. The other method used often is called double bucking with a sinching method or spar anchor to prevent this. Either way you never cut twords your face on a spring loaded spar/snag. Tyler than finishes the back fiber plate off full throttle with a simple back cut. static lowers his chainsaw after knuckle pucking the chainbrake foreward and rushes to brace pushing away from the spar as it crashes to the grown missing the targets near by and freeing it’s self from the tree its few tips were tangled in.

The day “ends” The day “begins”

Do you think any of them learned the obvious ?

So you want to know why I’m disgusted with the U.S…..

I’m over 60 years old. I’ve formally had five jobs in my 42 + year professional year professional life. One by popular election, two by my own selection. Those three required that I take an oath to uphold the Constitution of this country. I took it personally and seriously. That conduct repulses me on so many different levels that I am without further words …..

Trump chief of staff Meadows says actions laid out in Georgia indictment were part of his job

Mark Meadows, former White House chief of staff, has testified that actions detailed in a sweeping indictment accusing him of participating

I’m no legal expert, but if attempting to overturn a federal election conducted and certified as valid under the Constitutions of the United States and the state of Georgia, and in accordance with state and federal law, is now “part of the job” then people, all people, really ought to get to the range and practice. Because if the President’s Chief of Staff can pull that card to subvert an election, then our Republic truly is under mortal threat.

Vet wrap is the best. In every first aid kit I have. (There are several.) always recommending it , along with aloe and arnica.

Sorry to hear about your eminent demise. You could use arnica and aloe.

also I got a tattoo partially re-coloured today and they bandaged me in veterinary wrap like I'm a sick horse
