    I was so happy that you finally got that huge stump out of the yard. The yacht property is coming along very well. I can hardly wait to see what can be next. Thank you for sharing your amazing eyesight of what you wanna do.😊

    Mike, I’m a huge fan and love the way you make it happen, just using what you have to make it happen. Very relatable. However I’m struggling a bit with this video. You have your unique boat build and you our opening the property up establishing some nice rolling topography for your b&b guests to enjoy. But now you are just jamming all the revolved trees and brush into ugly piles on the perimeter that is destroying your beautiful vista. Why not drag it out, cut it into manageable chunks and burn…..just like you did by the garage. A bit of extra work, a couple of days to burn, but the lasting effects will be beautiful and I’m sure will help to translate into solid word of mouth bookings. I’m thinking the Admiral might agree.

    From an old Submarine Sailor, Ahoy, massive stump on the starboard side. Prepare for collision. Battle stations, battle stations. Now in regards to babysitting us; #1. At almost 72 I expect to be babysat. #2, How can this feller get anything done when you keep posting your entertaining and funny videos. #3 If I wanna look down at the ground or up at the sky, just let this old fart, OK?!?!?!?! #4, How would a feller know at this age if I was watching the correct channel if the camera didn't fall down once, twice or even three times during the vidja? #5, When greasing the ole equipment, how about sending some my way, cause at my age I need some on a daily basis! Thanks for the great vidjas Captain and God bless you and your family. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.

    The Kleeman Khronikles continues.....that dirt Swiss Army knife, the 555, continues to show it's usefulness although you do have to feed it some grease and power steering fluid to keep it content. Conquering the big stump can give a fella a sense of accomplished. Good progress is being made. As usual, great channel, great content.

    Hi Mike. That old stump was pretty fond of where it had been living! I was cheering along as you rocked it out. The grading is coming along nicely too. Looks like you are getting some nice weather with the shorts and all. Still kind of cold here in NJ. Hope Spring gets here soon.

    Great attitude and so human. We us olders have so much in common with the Captain, we lived it. Men need to know how to get by with what they have, and not try to buy everything done to perfection. There is so much more in life than trying to understand the female emotions pressed on the young man. Resist the pressure to carry around the dog baby of the unfulfilled young woman.

I just love how all your projects are by the inch.

  • @rons3103
    @rons3103 11 дней назад +3

    Mike, I think if you would have reattached the tree back to that stump, you could have pushed it out much easier! 🤣🤣 The Ford 555 and 755 do a great job tag teaming. Looking great! Next time DP gets a trial bulldozer machine, you might want to take advantage of it for a couple of hours, if you can! 😁😁 BTW: I hope your going to take down that widow-maker hanging on by a branch! Of course, you have already made us widow-makers several times in this video! 😁😁

    Hey, Mike may be a set of chains would help out with the traction on that backhoe? Might help no? Definitely cheaper than new tires I would think👍🏼 but again I’m sure you’ve obviously thought of all these things already. You are definitely no moron. Enjoy your videos.💪🏼 God bless you firefighters also.💪🏼👍🏼 you got a quick wit. Also good sense of humor.😁

People use it a lot for shooting target practice or blowing up beaver dams.

    The early pioneers would attach a long pole to the base of the stump with a chain and then get a team of horses or mules on the other end to pull and twist the stump out of the ground. Leverage is an amazing thing.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Dirt work around your harbor is looking great. Loved your statement on the bean bag toss game. When my coworkers started talking about playing corn hole I thought I was loosing my mind and must have been going crazy. For some reason that combination of words already had a definition that you probably wouldn’t use at work and the game they were explaining already had a name, bean bag toss. Glad to hear I might not have been the first pondering 🤔 if the name fit the action. Wishing you and your family the best.

    Some of the loggers went to using chains on there skidded year round cause they lasted almost as long and were much cheaper. Doing what you are doing right now, the chains also saved on the scrapes and bruises. Your getting pretty smooth on the hoe. Keep up the good work.

    Did you think the name of the one tree was Osage Orange? Also known as hedge apple. I don't think that's what that was but if it is. They make very good fence posts, Bows, Paddles, Gun Stocks. They are very rot resistant. The 'hedge apples' are great to prevent insects and spiders. Oh, if it isn't that kind of tree..... Um..... Never Mind. By the way, do a lot of people in Southern Indiana eat a lot of elephants? I've heard you mention that several times. Just curious.
