I got two out of three, Nev52, I'm missing the Schrade 51. I have the Case and the Echo. I know the Case Trappers I have will do the job as will the Echo saw. I've had one for many years and it's been a good one! The only problem now, it has no compression release, it's way more than I can pull with my old worn out shoulders. :(

Treefarmer I feel your pain. I have 2 more saws up at my farm one is a old craftsman saw from 1980 with a 20'' bar and it weighs a ton if you don't put your foot on it with the compression release on it will pull you down to the ground. Funny thing when I bought that saw new in 1980 I used it all the time.
It still runs good but I only use it as a last resort. Too heavy :( I guess I am getting old ::dang::

A few bluebonnets are starting to pop out. Despite the last day, or so, of rain...I don't think this will be a very good year for them. We've had very little rain, especially in the fall (when it really helps them)...

I like those 2 shots, Scott. That is some "snakey" looking territory there.

Nice, Doc, good to see some spring flowers. Dutchman's Breeches and Prairie Trillium just emerging from the ground around these parts.

Didn't realize you had Prickly Pear in Florida. They are highly edible with proper preparation.

Scott, just last week I was watching one of those 'would you survive'
shows on the Weather Channel. One of the things was desert and eating prickly pear cacti.
Don't try 'em raw; they'll make you sick. But cook 'em up and they're dandy.
Scrape off the spines and shave off the hide.
Dude on the show just threw the things on the coals, couple minutes each side.
Sounds right up your alley ....

Apparently PPC leaves are quite tasty, and are a staple food in South America ....

Thanks Tom ::tu::

Luckily the back door to my house was only about 40 feet away from where I took the pic ::super_happy::

Anything further than that I might have not made it ::woot::
