  1. I've seen fellers dominoe half a dozen trees in one go, but never fifty! Musta took two dudes all day to precut that many! I doubt every single precut tree went over though. Looked pretty dang real to me. Jomoco
  2. Good stuff Darrin. Thanks for postin it. Jomoco
  3. Tidily done mate! Almost mechanized enuff to go solo eh? Impressive kit. Jomoco
  4. It's beyond beautiful mate! It conveys a sense of the bird being integral to and centered upon the wood! You're a Michelangelo of wood mate. I'd be tempted to cast it n mass produce it. You must use air tools n dremels n stuff for the finish work, I presume? Jomoco
  5. We know you brought in a bucket Steve! Nice try mate! Jomoco
  6. I can't quite believe I came within inches of killing off my Jacaranda experiment! By placing it outside the mother tree's dripline to obtain more sunlight, without even thinking about doing so also exposing to more cold. What a rookie eh? Came out a few mornings ago and was astonished to see my outdoor thermometer just a hair above freezing! The chickling's back beneath mother hen, a bit shaken, but hanging in there.
  7. There's a saying, often misattributed to Gandhi, that goes something like, The truest measure of any civilization is the plight of it's weakest and elderly citizens. My understanding's Pearl Buck, author of The Good Earth popularized the saying? It rings true to me regardless of which sage first uttered it. Jomoco
  8. Pulling off the same trick on one of these should be noteworthy IMO.
  9. Stella certainly brightened my thanksgiving festivities last night! Such a fine lass! Jomoco
  10. Watch closely as Trump morphs into George Junior just like friggin obama did. Poor Hillary's been through enough, we shall look forward, not behind, certain criminals are beyond the law's reach, the course set in motion by GWB n company, must be stayed, at any cost. Today's so called conservatives don't actually believe in conserving anything, be it life, liberty, money, oil, clean air or oceans for goodness sakes. Jomoco
  11. Depends on whether you're an Afghan, Syrian, Iraqi, Ukrainian or Yemeni, don't it? I know the homeless population in the USA has exploded, that we're twenty tril in debt. That half our population thinks our president elect represents the epitome of predatory capitalism incarnate. What you seem to be implying is that the PNAC lads, ain't so bad? Jomoco
  12. This thread's comprised of old farts blaming kids for the sorry state of the world. What principles of ours are worth emulating given the state of the world today? Jomoco
  13. Beautiful Peat. Thanks for sharing that. Jomoco
  14. But what about clever amoral billionaires who go too far with it Mick? You say blaming PNAC, GWB, Blair n the lads is off topic n irrelevant. How so my friend? Blame the populace for lettin Machiavelli's eff them over, eh? As a father I feel guilty n embarrassed for passing on such a sorry state of affairs to my kids. Jomoco
  15. According to my pal Mick, GWB n Blair ain't got nothin to do with our modern 21st century woes., PNAC? Who dat? Jomoco
  16. How about the corporate share of the tax burden shrinking, while the individual share of the tax burden expanded? Bernie Sanders says tax share paid by corporations has fallen from 33% to 9% since 1952 | PolitiFact Jomoco
  17. PNAC built a burger? A twenty one trillion dollar one, with everything? Ray gunned into passivity? A suicidal proclivity? Jomoco

    Lookin good mate! Calm, cool, collected n professional. Stay safe ole friend. Jomoco
  19. Liquidambar styraciflua trees are being wiped out in California, and I mean wiped out. Bacterial leaf scorch, Xylella fastidiosa's the culprit apparently. Jomoco
  20. Sure Diff, just as long as all parties are heard from, not shut out entirely. If they're crackpots, it should be self evident. TCM just ran the Guzman documentary on Allende's overthrow in Chile. It was indeed chilling. Jomoco
  21. Elrond's forest! Magnificent shot Mario. Jomoco
  22. Now I'm all for being pragmatic and objective about our new POTUS elect. But apparently Trump held an off the record meeting with all the MSM heads today in Trump Tower. Trump "Exploded" At Media Execs During Off-The-Record Meeting: "It Was A F--king Firing Squad" | Zero Hedge This but another example of obstinancy trumping well defined historic precedent that worked, and was written into law to make sure it was observed, or your FCC broadcast license was revoked. It was called The Fairness Doctrine, mandating that every FCC licensed news service, gave free airtime to any party to a news story with opposing views. Repealed suspended n done away with by raygun in 86. Both sides of the story, the reason Hanoi Jane made the nightly news n stuff. Reinstating the fairness doctrine'd go a long way towards makin America great again IMHO. Jomoco
  23. Some day, some way, that truth may be known, in embarrassing detail. Rumor is we're dealing with a read you like a book kinda entity. Not a victors write the history scenario at all at all. Truth's dreaded by lotsa people in power with good reason IMO. Jomoco
