Nor am for your apparent inability to recognize patterns revealed by repeated specific actions.... :)
Not "a B-29" but the ONLY flying B-29. Also known as "Fifi" operated by the Commerative Air Force out of Texas. There is one in Witchita at the Boeing facility being restored to flying status, but it is still a few years off.
I'm certainly picking up a pattern in *your* posts...
...
To that I certainly plead guilty... :)
I consistently try to point out the tendency to go to extremes (of which you're not the only propoent), sadly. :(
I had hoped you just see at least a modicum of levity arising in the continuing descent into absurdium...alas, if not. I tried.
with good oil reaching 2.00 a quart, bar oil isnt that much more ,maybe less..my buddy used his old engine oil out of his car and mower in his stihl 041 farm boss and it clogged up the pump or pump filter ,anyway,it quit pumping oil. . lucas
The oil itself is not a problem, IMO unless the environment is overwhelmed with it.
Besides.....because oil floats on water, I think I would be more concerned with any additives and residual contaminents that may come out of suspension.......
Its not like the 'water table' is a big glass lined tank (like the Latrobe brewery - 33) all shiny and clean. And I was thinking, where does all that nasty oil come from in the first place? Down there in the ground. I say, set it free, let it return home!!!
AL
Actually, the soil compression from logging is probably overall more harmful than any petroleum spills, fish excepted.
No way to test that hypothesis here... :)
Although minimizing compaction w/ low- and no-till is showing very good results after a number of years of continuous practice.
Low- and no-till logging?
R, Tom Q.
Who the hell let's the bar or chain hit the dirt? If you are that careless, then you may as well use water instead of bar oil.
=================
I'm wondering which part of "The first time the tip touches dirt even for an instant, you've just put more crap on the bar than any amount of used motor oil possibly could" you can't comprehend.
Face it, Doug, waste oil is perfectly fine as bar oil, despite your bleating to the contrary.
(And the greenies who might want to cry about it are perfectly welcome to go suck rocks.)

These all flow into a simple french drain...
If it weren't for the presence of contaminants then what need for the gently sloped grassy swale???
Might as well just line a trough with concrete....
Around here, ( a mountainous region and fairly near to the pacific ocean ) one of the biggest problems with logging is the soil erosion and subsequent sedimention occuring in the the rivers and streams...( salmon spawing habitat--if you bury them eggs then the little fisheys don't got much of a chance )
Same around thing here.......
...BUT...
The restaurant downtown serves up some mighty fine Spotted Owl Soup !!!
Yeah, producing all those crops is definately GOOD for the environment !!!
Hoping you are not as obtuse as Doug, the purpose of the oil is _also_ to help get the dirt which gets on the bar flushed away.
Unless your trees are much different that the rest of the world, the bark/branch pockets/crotches will collect dirt.
It may not reach _your_ aquifer but it's gotta go someplace. (Unless you're in a Death Valley type hole.)
I know. It's really amazing how quickly biological systems can recover when they are not overwhelmed by too much for too long.

Well, of course...simply commenting on local conditions...it's not a desert, but dry in comparison to most. It's a very sandy soil but there's a caliche layer at about 2-3' under the surface that is nearly impermeable. I'm sure some detailed soil sampling could find some remnants near that layer...
....farming...no trees here.
