    I don't get it

    Well since alot of people, police included, usually say its just some kids having fun, or its a prank and all that baloney. Instead of calling it what it is, terrorisim, and since we have a whole bunch of new laws that are for that sort of thing, how come the little darlings are allowed to get...

    How do you think operators should treat equipment?

    I run a dozer like I would my own. Nice but not so nice. I can't explain it. I don't want to dent it or crap it out like alot of machines are, if it is new and clean inside the cab if it has one it will always stay that way if I run it. I have never babied them though. I was trained by a guy...

    land clearing techniques

    Yeah if its a deep swampy muddy mess it will be slow clearing. 3 foot stump? What diameter are the trees? So what are they doing selling the wood for fire wood? I know a logger that has a big job but no one wants to buy the wood.

    All the work?

    I just wish they would open up all the stuff they had shut down because of permits and EPA and all that crap. Like the Coal mine down south, the logging industry, gosh there even used to be pacific coast coal in Black Diamond. Good paying jobs legislated out.

    Questions about Cat from an investor's perspective

    Really a good post John. I think Cat and other manufacuters of equipment, would be happy to see legislation to rid any business of machines that are over 10 years of age. And gee maybe they will do like they are planning on doing with cars and offer to buy the old machine for say 5000 but that...

    Here it comes

    Yeah and they won't stimulate what really needs stimulating. Open up all the locked up land to homesteading like the good old days. Then we wouldn't need to worry about the stinking economy, cause at least ya'd have a place to live. Plant food etc. There goal is to return us to Dannel Boone...
