"...only just caught this, been busy doing the same, but just half of what you have there. Impressive. I am jealous..." as Jats winces again wishing KK would buy some chainsaw chaps or pants at least, never mind a safety helmet

ahhhh...Jats....I do believe you have become quite fond of your pals at Cloud 9 ....

pick out something I need

"...when have I never, as I have yet to think differently of high praise from Flea...and something for you? I wouldn't presume but if I had to, it would be shoes or boots, or try that thing of listening to those cryptic hints that are dropped out casually in the run up to birthdays and Christmas, and failing that just make something myself..."

I removed the endbeams on the front of my house and patched the stucco, I'll blow out my sprinkler system soon

"...mmm it will protect against sunburn though not from that one slip or flying shard of wood, a kick back, or the chain flying off, for that's all it takes, just once, as many a senior tree surgeon has proved to me with tales of near misses, fatalities even, and showing me their scars in places that were not protected, and though I know I am good, and careful always, having that rare gift of common sense, I know too I make mistakes like humans do, and when I do then I will be thankful I spent a $100 bucks..." as Jats ends his concerned lecturing then seeing as its being taken as something else

"...sorry I didn't know you had a spoiler button, and I did win an argument with a mod recently, before I was banned, that they may as well put NSFW (not suitable for work) on my whole thread as I was bound to post something that would upset someone or everyone eventually, its a knack I have, even as in this case when I am just trying to help forlornly it seems, so now you know why I stick to my own thread so much then, and maybe if KK now sees the reaction he would get after the initial sympathy, he may listen to you ladies instead then..." crikey thinks Jats, imagine the reaction to some of the really gruesome ones I could have posted instead...

yea kickback is a bitch. it's not so bad when you are cutting down on a log, but when you are trimming branches with an odd arm extension it can really catch you by surprise.
