    What is some of your Pet Peeve's

    I know Snyder's and Hersey. Like the pretzles, some Hersey stuff is good. Starbuck is not good coffee IMHO and I don't do froofroo coffee. Seen UTZ never tried it, the rest not a clue and I used go to Allentown several times a year for a couple of decades.

    Power co just took down a 40" diameter pine that showed signs of decay after 60 years of trimming the line side. Never would hit the line but crush a building or 2. They brought it down and I got the mess. Fair trade in my book

    Best and worst chainsaw?

    Big difference between helping to buck and dropping trees. My boy has been helping to put in wood since he was 8. Unsupervised is a whole different matter, he also started driving the mower at around 8. Both of my kids were driving a truck for slow speed chores by 11 like collecting garbage...
