  4. Sorry for your loss, you and your family will be in my prayers.
  5. Spaghetti with oil, garlic and string beans
  6. Yes, I was rubbing his hand on Tuesday and he opens his eyes slightly to acknowledge us but even that's becoming a struggle. He hears us which puts me somewhat at ease..Thx to all for all the well wishes.
  7. Please say a prayer for my uncle, a long time hunting buddy and my Godfather. He has been battling liver/heart issues for sometime and it has now got the best of him. What a strong man to endure the pain and suffering, sticking it out all these years for his family. My heart bleeds for my 2 cousins that will soon loose their father, there's nothing else I can say or do but to be there for them. He was rushed to hospital this week and Dr.s say they can't do anything else for him but to keep him comfortable. I'm afraid he won't live this week out, I just hope God takes him peacefully to end his pain. I had to take a walk from work as I'm tearing up as I type this. Life is not easy as we get older and a lot of our loved ones begin to pass..thx for listening.
  8. Not good bud, like you said had the tree decided to lean the opposite way, you and that Atv would be taking flight..
  9. Definitely do not use an ATV. My friend and cousin both have very similar scenarios both which had large sized trees leaning towards their house. I assisted with felling both trees and in both instances my plan worked and thankfully no one was hurt and the trees fell exactly where I planned. What you need is to have a healthy tree in the same direction you want the bad tree to fall . Tie a huge tow rope or chains mid point up on the bad tree and tie it to a healthy tree about 100 feet away about shoulders or lower height ,with the winch tied closest to the tree your NOT cutting down. Its a two man job, take it slow and communicate. Make a forward notch in the direction you want tree to fall (direction of the winch) and start your back cut. Every so often stop sawing and have the other guy start winching. Keep rotating the cutting and winching and you will see the tree begin to lean in the direction of the winch. Keep repeating this process till it falls, through this whole process there should be no slack in the chains or cable. Get ready to run.
  10. Now that right there is natural talent, great for her. That's awesome!!
  11. Would need some serious HP to run one of those.
  12. I'm a red type of guy, Massey..but I like your new rig, have fun.
  13. Why is this a bad thing, I don't see how a hunter could view an early youth season for anything other than a great thing. Sorry, maybe because I have 4 kids my judgement maybe impartial...lol..really I don't even see how an early turkey season for youths would be an issue.
  14. Tonight is make your own pizza night, yum!!!
