Such as Bill Tomlinson? Rumor has it the new My Way is north of 2Mil, and designed to cruise at 175 mph, all day! Think that makes him the King of the River.

I'm comfortable being #2.

We, as the saying goes, also "have a Guy"!!!

Logging truck and operator to pull an engine.......six pack of Labatts Blue

Logging truck and operator to place engine........12 pack of Labatts Blue

Seeing the engine finally in the boat...........PRICELESS

Third Bird Getting his hands dirty........NOT A CHANCE.!!!

I think.....Just "Priceless" fits!

I was wearing my work-place authorized (and procured ) mechanics gloves for safety. Hand injuries from sharp objects are one of the highest frequency injuries incurred in industry.

But, you're right, I didn't want to get dirty either.

And by the way, I know that's you submitting this Laurie, Mike is not nearly so eloquent.

That's how we northern rednecks swap an engine. By the way, Al, operating the log plucker, was as smooth as you can get. Al has obviously played with his machine extensively. Another "by the way", his truck is a way-nice Kenworth.

Desormo and I used his extend-a-hoe as a cherry picker a few times.

on another note, Staci and I celebrated a year yesterday.

From what I hear, from a friend in the hardwood biz, a good Cherry log would be worth more than a normal big block these days. You gotta respect a man that's good at what he does.

You're right on both counts Ragged.
