Ragdollcatlady's Just a Little Patch of Weeds Farm journal

Yeah it was my first time using the chain saw. I have no idea how I would sharpen the chain???? I am aware that sharp knives are safer so it does seem to be reasonable that I want the chain to be sharp too.

Probably figures you are too young and pretty to be interested in him Has he said how old he is?

I believe "Mo Pics" guy has 35 listed on his profile, making me older than him.... He did send me a "hey" text this evening but didn't respond to my answer....???? I dunno!

I am taking a break from more chainsawing.... Man! My back muscles are being forced out of hibernation!!! Good workout I guess. Lord knows I need more of that! I am cutting up small, tiny branches and a couple small 3-6 inch across logs. Nothing too fancy. For as long as it takes me, I feel like I should really have more to show for all the effort though.

So I was talked into bringing home a new member for the farm family.Who am I kidding? I take that back. She is never going outside. I actually brought home a new member of the "sit around and be prissy" club! I can't get you all a pic cause she is hiding under the shelf at the moment, but I can tell you what I know. She is a cat. There, that about covers it. Ok, so she is an older, long haired, ragdoll type, I think she is a sealtorti bicolor, basically the colorpoint version of a calico. Blue eyes, and a real sweet girl. Someone dumped her in a box on the doorstep of the vets office where I happen to be employed. Despite it being my day off, everyone took one look at her and felt she absolutely belonged to me since several of my other feline friends are just like her. I got the pic and text yesterday. They found a spay scar and tested her for FELV and FIV, NEG/NEG so I said sure, no idea where I can put her, but why not??? I am not cuckoo for kitties or anything right!? I might be actually cuckoo, but who's counting? Not me and if I were you, I wouldn't trust me to count anyway!.... look at how I calculate my own age, or goat math!

Does she have Spots?....do ya see Spots?....did ya float away in the Bubbles?....and if ya are the "Decision Maker", then it doesn't matter how ya reach your decision....just celebrate that ya made one........it sure is a shame there isn't a pic to share tho.

 

[ragdollcatlady]

Well..... she does have patches of color, so yes, I would say they count as bubbles!

On closer inspection, she is actually a blue torti mitted. She is very cute but currently rather sad about her new situation.

She won't be sad long she has a new home where, unlike the old one apparently, she will be treasured.

You can learn how to do most anything on YouTube. The sharpening file with an angle gauge (30° is most common I think) costs all of about $10. But do check on the angle your saw needs, both angle and diameter of the file. Make and model should be all you need. If there is a dealer for that brand near you, I would talk to them. You can also take them to places that sell chainsaws to have the chain sharpened. IIRC they charged me $10, a new chain costs about $20.


I'm too old to think a "Hey" text is actual communication.

Oooo!!....she is really pretty....no wonder ya are smitten....
I'm sure she'll settle in and join the group.

In text culture... I'm just learning alot of this myself as I am really behind in the technology curve.... it is a casual greeting more like a "hi" or a check to see if you are 'online' or available for more conversation at the moment. It isn't quite the same kind of casual as a verbal "hey".

 

[Bruce]

So it is short for "Hey, got time to chat?" I guess.

 

[ragdollcatlady]

Yeah, text culture is much less formal than spoken language or even email. With email, you can still be reasonably formal. Text is a type of shorthand language, generally with its own rules and meanings.
