Re: Cut Myself With A Chainsaw Today
Happy to see the leg is still
firmly attached.  Also I see I'm not the only one who doesn't wear short pants.

Re: Cut Myself With A Chainsaw Today
You guys probably have all the hair worn off your calves from wearing tube socks your whole life.
I grew up on a farm, bailing hay, straw, spreading sheet, all that jazz. I could not take the heat with long pants or long sleeves, I dealt with the marks and crap on my arms. Chicks like scars. |

Re: Cut Myself With A Chainsaw Today
My Dad's calves are bald from wearing long pants and tube socks his whole life, I still laugh when he wears shorts, they shine in the sun.

Re: Cut Myself With A Chainsaw Today
I can wear shorts all summer, but seeing as I don't go out in the sun for any extended period of time I always have ghost white legs. Get teased about it all the time.

Re: Cut Myself With A Chainsaw Today
I can't stand wearing shorts to work, at home and out and about doesn't bother me, but work, I hate it, If I kneel down and there is dog shiit there and I was wearing shorts I would freak, or mud or anything else like that, I hate anything getting on my knees, don't know why always been that way, so I wear jeans to work, the guys look at me like I am nuts, It could be 90 plus degrees, and I will show up in jeans doesn't matter what the job is, roofing, siding, whatever I am always in jeans.

Re: Cut Myself With A Chainsaw Today
I am in shorts as soon as it is above 55. I hate the heat, I cant wait for winter to come back.

Re: Cut Myself With A Chainsaw Today
Close call. Glad your okay.
My old man wonders why I want to pay someone $1,200 to take down the 60' maple in my back yard. I told him it's because of the telephone lines and neighbors garage. I need someone insured and experienced. I really can't stand the thought of him getting hurt. He has 5 other saws he can play with.

Re: Cut Myself With A Chainsaw TodayQuote:
You call that a cut? I've received worse from my cat.  Seriously though....bullet dodged. Chainsaws can a whole lot of damage in a very short time. One of my best friends (and mentor) was killed by a chainsaw. Glad to see it was so minor. |

And I agree with compacency=the devil. I'd just like to add...IMO, so does fear. Respect is the key. Knowing what your tools are capable of and respecting that power...that is what saves lives and limbs. Unfortunately, it also saves scars

a kid would outgrow a pair of long pants faster. The short pants are already..... short. Yeah, it was a big deal.... the first Easter suit with big boy pants!

Re: Cut Myself With A Chainsaw Today
We always got our new pants (Levi') two sizes too big. Fortunately, I was always one of the bigger kids in class, so my rolled up pant legs rarely got laughed at.

two ways....rolled up cuffs, or with wear lines that showed how many times they were unrolled as you grew. Kinda like tree rings.
