Yea Mark, I love the old Jeep.  There was no doubt that trailer was behind me when it was full of osage.  I normally call a couple young guys that like to split wood and they unload it for me.  Mary says she'll help me tomorrow.  Gonna be interesting.  We might break out the log chain and try your approach.  Wish you could have joined us.  You too Kevin.  Stop over sometime, I'd like to meet you.

That green one's a 96...170K miles.  They don't make 'em like that anymore.  We unloaded the trailer this morning.  Hooked a log chain around each log and drug it out of the trailer with the golf cart.  Worked like a charm.

Yup, I think the Cherokee is one of the best (if not the best) vehicle that Chrysler made in the past 30 years.  It was a sad day when they discontinued them.  Mines a '99 with about 175K miles on it.  I'm glad the chain thing worked for you.  They say that necessity is the mother of invention.  If that's true then I think that laziness has to be invention's step dad.   ;D

Yea, I used to work with guy back in the early 80s that always said "Laziness is the mother of invention.  That's certainly been true in my work experience.

You'd have been welcome Jimmy.  Give me a shout next time you head to Dallas.

George, Makes you wonder if the got tired of using Indian names... ;D
I grew up in LaGrange Ga, Have a friend that lives just outside LaGrange Tx. You should see Atlanta Idaho....LOL's. Wait a minute. You have 2 St. Paul's? I bet that gets confusing.

Bow Nut, Man that sounds good to me. I work all the time. Thats why I haven't posted in a long time. I've made maybe 5 or 6 bows so far. Had 2 explode on me. Last one scared the bejiggers out of me. But once that bow bug bites, you can't quit. I'll PM you.

Yea, I've never lived in a state that had more than 1 town by the same name.  Wikipedia shows 2 Saint Pauls, Mapquest shows 4 Saint Pauls in Texas.  Good grief.

I live right by a lake and have fished only once.  Someday...
