There's a guy here who drives a mini. He came out of the Food Lion parking lot right in front of me, in the Ranger, and I had the cruise control set at 3-over. The guy drove slow then brake-checked me. Against my better judgement I did him the courtesy of touching my brakes- otherwise he would have been shot forward into oncoming traffic. Since then I've seen him twice more, once brake-checking a truck on the same two lane road. That asshole has a death wish. |

After a month or so I also had achy legs (not sharp pain as above) and some pain in my feet. The blood test in the beginning showed inflammation markers. After a bunch of reading, I concluded that I had systemic inflammation, but my doc poo-pooed that idea. They either don't want to deal with that, or don't know what to do about it. Most of medicine is about addressing symptoms with drugs or surgery, no digging to find and correct the actual cause. My right wrist and shoulder extreme pain came on literally overnight, left side a week or so later. It got worse but started to stabilize within about 3-4 months, started to get better, and gradually disappeared within around 8 months (all this is why I abandoned my business and retired in 2021). Who ever heard of osteoarthritis coming on suddenly, and then disappearing within a year? But my doc stuck to that diagnosis. Early on I went to PT, and they really helped with my shoulders, but not wrists. I still do those (stretching and strengthening) exercises at home, along with a few others that I picked up online. So far, so good. Sorry Yaddy for derailing . . . |

Food Lion. LOL. May as well call it Glutton's. When I was in SC in '21 we went there and I was blown away by the name, but also by the prices. Food was literally 50% the cost as it was in CA. One reason the friends I was visiting had moved to Pawley's Island from Sacramento, CA! Years ago there was a liquor store called 'The Liquor Trough'. Same deal. Hilarious. |

Don’t forget Harris Twatter. Even worse than Lowes on $$$. Food Lizard (like the new name) is decent except for meat, chicken good red meat bad from there. Cheaper grades…..

We're trying to cut down on beef since the start of the FBJ era. When I do by beef at Food Lizard, I tend to buy the Spring Crossing Cattle Company brand. It's a little pricey, but nicely trimmed in smaller packages. |

I've decided on the Echo 2511pn, rear handle. Home Depot won't oder one over the phone or online using my store credit, dumb bastages. So I'll try to buy from a local dealer.

All the Pro tree guys used top handle saws or "tree saws" as they were known back then in the early, middle 70's. I don't think Echo even existed back then. They were smaller and lighter and easier to use for trimming and transporting and storing. Think climbing a tree and carrying it or roping it up. Try handling both, easy to see the diff. And since they did the majority of the cutting, they were also less expensive to replace. Larger rear handled saws did the grunt work of cutting logs and felling trees.
