Wow ! I got a body bag too !
Rubbery vinyl with a nylon weave backing, looks like it's treated to
resist odor absorbtion and for ease of cleaning. A cool head to toe
zipper and two handles on the side and one loop at each end. Funny

Now I know a chainsaw ain't a proper woodworking tool, but I wanted one
anyway. I figure folks just have a right to expect a feller like me to
have a chainsaw, even if my fireplace has gas logs in it.
And I got a real proper leather shop apron with flaps over the pockets
to keep the sawdust out. I'm really gonna like it.
And a incra rule, cause my eyes ain't what they used to be. And
several other nice toys and not even one tie or shirt!

I was trying to be consistent with the rant I made a few years ago.
Repeated below.
Did you say CHAIN SAW? Why no self-respecting woodworker would own
one! Their accuracy is the pits. You'd be lucky to get within 0.100
inch. And they vibrate a lot too. And spew sawdust everywhere.
Can't hook up a dust collector - No way. Not to mention the DANGER.
I've never seen one with a blade guard. I guarantee that more people
were killed and maimed by chainsaws in the last decade than all the
exploding PVC air lines in the history of the world. It's downright
irresponsible to even consider buying one.
Sorry to go off on you like that, but I'm jumpy lately. I just haven't

Hey W.reckers,
When I was 12, my Father thought it would be fun to build a new house
without temporary electricity. We built that house with a chainsaw and
hand tools. I cut my first rafters there. And Oh - My! every cut had to
be absolutely Dang perfect! Working for Dad has a level of pressure
that is overwhelming.Besides, what 12 year old boy doesn't want to
build a house with hand tools while his friends all play ball and go to
the lake and all of the things that a 12 year old boy normally does? I
somehow managed to stay out of trouble that year.
A chain saw can be pretty precise, but my experience is that a low
angle block plane makes it 100% better. As with the plane, the sharper
the chainsaw, the better the cut. Blade Guard? Hurry up and sink it in
the wood. There's your blade guard.
Tom in KY, Dad was a subscriber to the Mother Earth News, Mom was just
glad it wasn't a mud-hut. I guess though someone may suggest a gasoline
burning generator in the basement with the windows open. Heh-heeeeee!

On the contrary, a chainsaw is a precision carving tool. You just

I considered I came out fairly well. A .22 Benjamin-Seridan air
rifle, to go along with my .177 and .20. A .22 Chinese air rifle, to go
along with my .177. Pellets for all. Some NATIO .9mm plastic training
ammunition - damn, that stuff is loud when shot in the house. A book
on steamboats I had been seeking for months. Pocket T-shirts. Boxers.
Of course, I bought most of it myself, for myself, but at least that way
I got what I actually wanted. The dau-in-law got me the shirts and
boxers. All in all, not a bad day.

Yep, the very same Muhlenburg county, Lorreta Lynn country. Peabody and
all. Paradise is now the site of one of the biggest power generators
around. It's a big old coal burner too. From the hills here you can see
4 power plants along the Green River.
Goodnight Tom,

I have no idea, I believe that there are several generators there. Up
until last year, you could look South when traveling West on the
Western Ky Parkway, just before you got into Muhlenburg county and you
could see two of the biggest falic symbols around. Two big old Peabody
draglines sitting on top of a hill. The booms all up in the air and
facing different directions. Paradise generator behind them. An
appropriate monument to the heyday of the coal industry that put
Muhlenburg county on the map. Well, They put one of them back into
service and I don't know where the other one went.
John Prine, I didn't even think of anyone other than Loretta Lynn when
I saw Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenburg county. There are
still pretty girls there with coal black hair and snow white skin, and
eyes of every color :-)

1350 MW on a single shaft. ( 1,800,000 HP!!!)(Thank God we got away from

That'd be our friend John Prine:
Paradise
When I was a child my family would travel
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered
So many times that my memories are worn.
Chorus:
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
Well, sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.
Repeat Chorus:
Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man.
Repeat Chorus:
When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin'
Just five miles away from wherever I am.
Repeat Chorus:
(Got some fine photographs of the Mallet Locomotives from those coal
trains... if those pictures don't want you to become an engineer.....)

Kentucky Lake is a respected fishery by most major bass tournament
sponsors and organizers. I live about an hour and a half from there
with a boat in tow. The smallmouth are biting on suspended jigs right
now. Dale Hollow to the south is also seeing the smallmouth bite. My
uncle is fishing a tournament tomorrow. Cumberland River is pretty
good, Green river Lake is great for muskie and walleye. Nolin River
Lake, good. Barren River Lake,, I've not had luck there. Winter pooling
/staging may be keeping that river from being a great producer. Yep,
BYOB if you want.
I'm only one hour from the Fort Campbell WMA, trout streams there.Lots
of small water-shed lakes and ponds too. But the closest water to my
place is Green River. Too much barge traffic (I believe)along with a
really dry summer has ruined the fishing for this year. There are a few
catfish pulled out of there that will make you think twice about
putting a bare foot in the water. 2 years ago there was a 97lb. cat
caught on a jug line. Last year we were night fishing and saw a jug
running about 20-30mph across the surface before being pulled under.
Several other guys saw it and that may become the new urban legend
here, The Jug Fishing Ghost?
Tom in KY, got more fish tales.

Stop it, you're making me homesick. I remember fishing on Taylorsville
Lake with my Dad one morning about 20 years ago. It was about 30
minutes after daylight but a light fog was still on the water. We were
in a large, calm bay where we were catching bass on Pop Rs. On a hill
covered in broom sedge above us a beagle was running a rabbit.
Dad turned around from the front seat of the Bass Tracker, grinned and
said, "Don't you wonder what Jesus is doing with the boys he doesn't
love this morning?" Yeah, I know the theology maybe isn't correct, but
the sentiment was sure right on. Dad is 81 and still fishes
Taylorsville.
The bass are bigger here in Florida but I miss fishing with Dad.

Yep, Your trade-off sounds pretty worthy. Have you had your Dad down to

Well, I can't say that I love my G0555 :( The saw, riser kit and
mobile base arrived yesterday. Unfortunately, the riser kit was
missing the guidepost, which renders the saw unusable for my purposes.
Since then I have, so far, made 4 phone calls to Grizzly customer
support, spoken with 5 different people and received no indication or
assurances of when I might expect to receive the missing part. The one
manager I spoke with ( Victor ) was unable to provide any information
beyond "we've started the paperwork" and that multiple signatures were
required before he could even know when he would be able to ship me the
missing part. "It could take 2 or 3 days, it could take 2 or 3 weeks"
was what he said. When I asked if there was someone else I could call
he indicated that the only recourse left to me was to send an email to
[email protected]. After that, I can't say it came as a big surprise
that my email has gone unanswered and unacknowledged.
Another customer service rep indicated that it could take 6 to 8
weeks before they recieved more guideposts. Apparently the missing
guidepost is backordered and for whatever reason, they won't just ship
me another riser kit ( I dunno, maybe all of the riser kits are missing
the guideposts, sigh...)
I just got of the phone with Grizzly again. I called to see if I
could return the unit since the missing guideposts makes it, to my mind
anyway, a defective unit ( my wife, an assistant attorney general,
suggested that I try to return the unit and when the General speaks,
well it's best to listen). After spending 6 or 7 mins on hold, the
customer service rep told me that they've "messaged" headquarters to
see if they can get authorization to send me the guidepost and
indicated that she would call me back in a couple of hours.
My decision to purchase this saw was made, in part, on what I have
read in this group concerning the G0555, as well as various kudos to
Grizzly's customer support. All I can say is that Grizzly must have
made some recent and significant changes to their customer support
preocesses. Either that, or I've somehow wandered into the Twilight
Zone. The level of customer support that I've experienced so far bears
no resemblence to what I've previously read about this company in this
group.
There really wasn't much difference in price between the 0555 and the
Jet Closed Base Bandsaw ( Model JWBS-14CS ) on sale at the local
Woodcraft store, a difference which I'm rapidly squandering on calls to
Grizzly's customer support center. The sad thing is that Grizzly could
have had much more of my money if they had treated me better ( i.e.:
Sorry that the part was missing Mr. Jordan, we'll overnight you a
replacement ). I have 5 "significant" power tool purchases planned for
the next 2 years ( assuming The General doesn't balk :) and I can
safely say that Grizzly is no longer on the list of vendors whom I
would consider purchasing from.

Also got a carton of smokes and a "beers of the world" assortment from one of

Got a nice 9' St. Croix fly rod and a House of Hardy reel. This is one
slippery slope too - just like woodworking but I can tie the two together
easily. Making a reel winder (like the one from Orvis) and plan to make
several different size net frames to try some simple steam bending. Anyone
know where to buy fish netting material?
As I recall Tom, don't you do a bit of fishing in your backyard?

Not so fast. Santa brought me a new Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 4X4 Crewcab.
Sweeeeeet!! It'll haul plywood flat in the bed, if you leave the tailgate
down. It replaces my '92 Chevy pickup. I'll post a picture on ABPW.

Well maybe we'll meet on a stream down there one of these day's Tom. I'll
be the short guy bobbing up 'n down in the water waving like crazy as I go
by cause my waders just got filled...;-)
Now a real wood-fishin-dorker would probably be telling us that a bamboo
(4/6 strip) rod is the only way to go and that the ugly sticks we're using
are scaring the trout away... Now that's something I would love to try and
make. You're right about the line Tom when it comes to small streams - the
rod 'n reel are just along for the ride. To that end, I picked up some
Cortland "Sylk" to use on my 4wt rod/reel. I've heard good things about that
line and hey, it's only half the cost of a WWII blade !
Happy New Year to ya all,
Bob S.

Better watch out. I might be moving, based on your advertisement.
I can have the whiskey shipped in - but good bass fishing don't export
well.

Aw, c'mon, gotta have some fun! Youthful memories . . . crawling out from
between the nice warm flannel sheets, getting bundled up by the kitchen
cookstove, wading through the snow to the barn. Step in between a couple
cows, they proceed to lean together, make a nice warm sandwich with you in
the middle. If your hands are cold, just tuck them in between the udder &
their back leg, toasty warm!

Yes I do.
And I envy you both your rod and reel.
I have a "White River" which I believe to be a Chinese knockoff off
an Orvis small reel.
It works well enough - it certainly works better than I do.
In the small streams of Pennsyltucky where I fish, it's the line, more
than the reel, or even the rod, that tells the tale.
I have a fat forward line from Orvis that shoots into pocket water
very well.
Got afast action eight footer that helps out also.
The fish are small but the fun is big.
Good onya, BobS.

Got a gift certificate to Lie-Nielsen from SWMBO. Funny thing is she
had meant it to be to Lee Valley. =o )
Lie-Nielsen's is just a short trip from here and I've meant to stop in
and look around.
Think I'll use part of my Christmas bonus on a trip to Lee Valley's
web site. Perhaps a Talon chuck for my lathe.
Happy New Year All,

santa was good this year! got a powermatic 20" planer and a 180 dollar
gift certificate at woodcraft. the gift certificate was part of a
sales promotion for buying the planer i think. but SWMBO just gave me
the certificate instead of tryin to spend it for me. bless her heart!
also got a lamello top 20 biscuit joiner. she gave that to me a few
weeks early cause my old pc let the magic smoke out in the middle of a
christmas project for her parents. hehe... i love christmas.

Nope. Paid cash for it. (I'm eating my seed corn.) See picture in

If a Tundra is assembled in Kentucky (or is it Tennessee?) and a Chevy is

You should have a decent body bag and a good speed bag.
Both of these together will go for about a hundred and fifty bucks.
You should also have a set of free weights.
You don't need more than 250 pounds because you want to do reps, not
mass. These should cost no more that eighty bucks.
A half way decent bench is only about 150 bucks.
When you start out, it's OK if you can only press your weight - unless
you're a fat sloppy bastard - then, I'd back off to 150 and work your
way up.
Your road work will consist of two miles at a brisk pace, to start.
You'll then go to five, then seven, then ten.
Once you get to ten, you'll go for time.
You need to be able to do ten in less than an hour.
Then you need to do wind sprints.
Buy good Everlast gloves and put a quarter pound weight on each wrist.
Work on simple combinations at first - one low, one high.
When you are ready - throw two quick ones from the slow side and
finish with the deathblow from the smart hand.
Try as hard as you can not to have a smart hand - but everyone does.
When you work the speed bag - give it two shots from one hand and one
from the other - work on your speed - and then change it so that it is
backwards of what you did before - work on your speed.
When you work the body bag - this is the only time that you are
allowed to roundhouse. Two straight shots from the weak hand,
followed by a straight shot to the center - followed by a roundhouse
rib shot.
This is a difficult combination to learn but it is worthwhile.
If you are strong enough, the rib shot will win for you.
Not immediately, but down the road.
If you will ever be good, that rib shot will come from the strong side
- and it can be devastating.
Keep your hands in close to your face and your elbows close to your
side.
Do not get fooled by head fakes.
If your man goes low for the body, protect and defend, but look for
the high opportunity.
Watch out for headhunter dancers. They wear themselves out and you
can take them in a later round.
Fear body punchers, for their throws are short and efficient - and
they waste no ammo.
You need to keep your elbows down and wait for the opening up top.
Remember, regardless of what most boxing movies show, the game is all
about what happens with your elbows tucked and your punches short.
Most body punchers can take almost any head punch that you can throw.
But that is still the best way to stop them, unless they're pigheaded.
Sometimes a committed body puncher can be made to see reason by
ringing his freaking bell.
But, you often need to body punch a body puncher. He'll have a weak
side. Your corner will tell you, if you don't read it.
If you can soften up a side, like he will be trying like hell to do to
you, that is a good way in.
I'll tell you what - by this point you have to be three rounds in.
If you've made it this far - I don't have damned thing to tell you but
don't spit out your mouthpiece and keep breathing as deep as you can.
Besides keeping your elbows tucked and your chin.
