I think I am allergic to gold plating or gold paint (or
both). I had Dalton’s gold scrench
secured to my wrist for 15 to 20 minutes and I have since developed a very
itchy rash in the same spot.
Non-coincidentally, my dress belt for half an age had gold paint on the
buckle and I always had rashes appear in that area growing up. The thing I’m worried about is that maybe I’m
allergic to a particular metal as the metal on my belt out here also produces a
minor irritation. That would explain why
rashes tend to appear more often in the colder months as I switch to longer
pants that either require a belt or have a metal button. Hopefully it is just the gold coating. On the bright side, my shin is doing just
fine!
I took down 20 Red Cedars today!
Technically it was more like 35, but we are only allowed to count our
trees that are big enough for face cuts (4 inches in diameter). My jump in production was due to me
chainsawing for the majority of the day and I don’t think I will have that
opportunity again, but we’ll see! I’ve
developed this interesting ability when it comes to felling Cedars—I call it
the delayed fall. Yesterday I had a good
face cut and a pretty good back cut (2 quarter cuts) but the tree wouldn’t
budge. Both wedges were in and I was
hesitant to saw anymore of the holding wood as there was next to none left, but
it looked like that was what I was going to have to do. So I had Brad, my look out, go and get my
chainsaw more gas while I kept watch on the tree. Right when he got back with the gas the tree
went down. Same sort of delay has
happened to me twice since then.
Weird. Maybe I am some kind of
chainsaw demi-god.
Sorry all, I
can’t stop thinking about how itchy my wrist is. I will part you with this newsflash. This just in, we have cut over 200 Red Cedars
in 3 days. We are getting things
done! Hope you are all doing well and I
will write to you again soon if I don’t gnaw my hand off first.
Next up, our fearless leader: Dalton. These moments in time were captured by me.
