What kind of nimrod
Comes home after a good solid days work and in 90 degree heat with 3200 percent humidity,and ties into a 45 year old oak stump?
yeah, you’re looking at him.
I am about to the point where I chainsaw it under ground level but I stalled the chainsaw tonight. Bitch about it is, I have to wash off the dirt and crap so the blade doesn’t get stuck, and even with all that, I was stalling the saw. I took the blade apart but by the time I got that far in the skeeters were killing me and the sweat ran down my forehead like a river. So I came in. Lots more chainsawing to do tomorrow.

You mean to say the tree was 45 when it was cut down? Or it was cut down 45 years ago? If the latter, what’s the rush?

1/4 stick of tnt and your done. :)
That’s some good looking black dirt you got there og.
I trust you’re clamping your chain saw in your Workmate while cleaning it?
If so I’ll write Steve down in Miami and make his day.
Og, I’ve gotten rid of ALOT of stumps. With your oxy/acetylene torch cut a 24″ ring out of a 55gal drum. Place the ring over the objectionable stump, fill with charcoal, light, marinate meat. Throw a weekend bbq party around the stump. It’s a win/win deal. Nomo stump, heap plenty good meat in stomach. Down here in the desert, it’s particularly effective on fibrous palm tree stumps.
I’m with David from Arizona on this one . . . you know how to make ANFO?

O DO know how to make ANFO. Problem is there’s a picture window a few feet away, and it’s the neighbors house. I can’t burn here, either, the cops come and raise hell. No, i’m stuck with chainsaw and axe in OMGdegree weather, and it’s just loverly.
Og,
Ortho makes a product called “Ortho Total Kill~Lawn & Garden Insect Killer”.
1 qt. hose-end bottle with self contained sprayer. I use it about every 5 to6 6 weeks here, and have no apprciable ‘skeeter problem. And on Galveston Island, that’s really saying something!
The stuff is so good, I used it when I buried sweet kitty Ariel upon her passing, when I still lived on the New Dawn. That 80′ wide peninsula which formed my side of the marina was nothing but pure coastal marsh, the mosquito breeding farm from hell.
Once I sprayed the stuff in about a 60’ diameter around where I needed to dig, I was able to do so with no further bloodsucking interference.
I cannot reccomend it highly enough.
As for digging out the stump? Few rounds of .45-70 ought to do it. Or, at least be more fun than the chainsaw.
