Ballast "proper" ballast

   / "proper" ballast #11  
A lesson I learned, and learned, and learned...
I cut as low as possible almost 50 stumps with my Stihl. I was trying to save bucks with Mr. Stump Grinder. While I was succesful, I sharpened two brand new chains to stubs doing it. I am old school and sharpen the teeth with a rat tail. I found new muscle groups in my back.
Lesson learned. Next time it's backhoville.

How are you liking those JD headphones?
I think they work pretty good! And pretty comfortable.
Here's me with mine on:

wow that looks like a dirty job! You should go the other direction :)

Yeah, I like them alot. I can hear people talking to me.

Plummer man, we are having fun here, we are not REALLY talking about actual ballast techniques!

Do the JD earphones allow for putting sound in them? I use noise-dampening headphones with my iPod when I'm cutting grass, etc., and they just don't take the sound down enough. I thought about using the earbuds inside of cupped ear protectors (I have alot of these from shooting), but the cupped protectors are pretty hot overall (that's why I went to the ESPs for shooting).

yes, there is a mini plug jack that you can plug your iPod/CD/... into. They sound pretty good too.

Really?! Wow.

How much do these little buggers cost and I'll get a pair right away - I'd put up with the cups/sweat for the COMPLETE lack of noise overriding even my sound dampening ear phones.

Thanks!

That's not a bad price.

The online site quotes:
"Compatible with MP3 and CD players, portable audio equipment, all NASCAR race scanners and most airline audio systems."

Is this just a headphone jack - so it works with my iPod? If so, I'm on it! :p

I'd like to hear also what others have to say. I know it won't be as good as my BOSE unit is (I travel alot), but this might just be better than the cheap ones I have outside now... :D
