Will Rogers once said "A remark generally hurts in proportion to its truth."
I sincerely appreciate your concern and thank you for your kindness, but there is no reason for you to apologize to me.
One of the things I've learned over the years is that every story has at least two versions of the truth.
Somewhere in the middle you try to find some common ground and build from there.
I've taken some time to read several of MN Joe's posts/replies on the Tool Talk forum.
What I have discovered was that I share some common ground with a fellow named Joe in MN.
Here's what we share:
We are both military veterans. Joe, thank you for your service.
We both use Stihl chain saws; mine wear out faster than his.
Joe is exactly right; the most common injury with a chain saw is cutting your left leg just above the knee. I've got 2 deep scars to prove it, but don't expect any photos to be posted.
Joe's father had a David Bradley chain saw; I have my granddaddy's David Bradley chain saw.
We don't care much for cell phones.
We both have country homes with water wells.
We both have wood burning stoves; Joe also has a coal burning stove.
We both have big trees around our homes.
We both have Home Made 4 wheel trailers.
Joe had an electric wood splitter, I have just had a hydraulic wood splitter built. Photos to come later.
Joe's got a red tractor, I have green tractors; but we both have a tractor.
We both are interested in pole barns.
We both have little respect for grease guns.
This is the fellow, Joe in MN., that I would like to talk with.
I'll close with another Will Roger's quote: "Don't let yesterday use up too much of today."
