Don't know what you're missing. Got all the way up to 39 above today. Fine weather for chopping up trees. Oh sounds like a real heat wave...lol. 39 isn't too bad for cutting, it's when it gets below freezing that trees are safe from me...lol

Don, I be happy to trade you that light for your coupe. That IS the most visually pleasing car of its type I've seen in years. From my sense of style; perfect.

Interesting time for this thread. So happens 29 years ago today I went to work for the same family owned company I work for today. In that time I have been basic production grunt, supervisor, unlicensed millwright, tooling purchaser, toolmaker, trainer, and so on. Off work lately I have either been working on improvements to the rock clubs lapidary shop or trying to get our shop at home finished. This weekend we also get started on home remodeling. The shop...

Besides rocks I pick up other heavy things and set them back down. And I also have a tattoo of one of my dogs on my finger

Dang, broseph82 I need to take you hounding with me. You would probably get along fine with the 20 lb sledge that loves to hurt me...

If I'm not rockin', digging up the yard or painting the house; I do a lot of shooting, whether at the range or taking classes out of town. We were told the cows were off limits

I hate to tell you this captainbob but that plastic trash can is not going to be much protection. Get one of those fancy galvanized ones then, you guessed it, fill it with rocks. Jim

Okay everyone, get in line. Make a list and establish who gets broseph82 to go hounding and carrying rocks with them next. Jim Ha ha. I once went hiking with my wife. On our way to where we were hounding I set rocks off to the side that I wanted to get on the way back. So we arrived to where we collected rocks, fill a hiking bag, and start back down the path collecting as we go. Once the bag was full, Tonya stayed behind (with a large pile) and I went to the car to unload and grab a fresh pack. Took me 45min to get to car and back. Filled 2nd pack to the top with rocks too and couldn't even get all the ones I had intended on getting. Weighed both bags when I got home. The first pack was 55lbs and the second was 79lbs. So my second trip half way up and back I had gotten even more. I don't mess around when hounding. Load up pockets, hoodies, beanies, bags, socks... Anything that will hold rocks I fill. I also had some 20lb stones in each hand too. It's an addiction I tell ya!

I could never carry multiple things before; now, I am a master at lining my arms with rocks and balancing it all back to the car when my buckets are already full.

Indeed, jamesp some of those rocks are truly diabolical in their resistance to manipulation.
