Looking To Help?

[Phil Lilley]

My dad bought and equiped a chain saw trailer last summer. It's now in use with others in the Joplin/Carthage/Jasper area. He went and helped yesterday in Jasper.

I'm sure I can find out what their schedule is for next week if anyone want to pull brush. I may go and help a day or two.

You can't saw unless you're certified... 8 hours of class. But there's plenty to do pulling brush. Lots of damage.

Phil: what do you mean when you say "Can't saw unless your certified".

Phil, I commend them for this stipulation. I have always had a rule that I do not loan my chainsaws, even to my kids. People have from time to time asked "Why". My kids even, will tell them, "Dad keeps his saws in top shape and he don't want blood all over them, especially of a good friend or family member!". As I deny the loan, I always tell them I would be more than happy to cut it for you if you will help & give me a hand. Yep, I would much rather cut it for them than them drop a tree on their house or kid or cut off their leg with my saw. Then too, I'm probably much easier on chains & bars and Particular about bar oil and fuel mixtures. Might make a few mad, but I don't have to clean blood out of the mechanisms. God Bless...D.C.
