Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[James Miller]

So this will be the new victim of my square filing experiments. The Del saw has been setup to run a 24 so I dont have to swap the 7910 form 24 to 32 while working on the big oak. The pictures suck but I think these angles will live alot better then my first attempt. Couple of touch ups and I'll have the whole tooth converted. At that point they should look nicer for pictures .

Pretty day today. About 6-8" of fresh snow and we had trails to finish staking and brush to cut. Had to knock down a bunch of peckerpoles and hawthorn for the groomer to get through a new trail. -7°C or about 19°F with snow heavy at times. No firewood cutting but it was good to spend time outdoors putting some work in.

Did a little scrounging also. Dragged the rest of the cherry out. The ice from yesterday should be about melted off for me to cut/split it tomorrow.

It is amazing how they think. Guy asked me where I got my jacket. A couple year Old carhartt with wear holes. Told him right there on the rack. He said no I want one that looks yours with the torn look .It's all a fashion statement. My wife wears her work Jean's with a couple of holes and thread bare at the thigh area and girls are always saying they love her pants.

How is your club making out with the MTO and road crossings this year?

We haven't had any issues other than one meathead screwed a blue trail indicator arrow to a sign post. That's a no no, lol. We have to use our own stakes. County guys called to straighten us out. The district holds meetings to educate on proper staking/signage so as long as we follow procedure, we are good.

Your expectations from a saw builder should be based on what you paid to have done. If you paid for a full rebuild, that is one thing, if on the other hand you just paid for porting, and the just pressure checked it to make sure it is OK, hey, then stuff is on you.

Nothing lasts forever, and no one wants to spend money on parts that are not broken … and least they don't want to except in hindsight after they break!

I have several used saws that were ported that have held up just fine for years, but if a part failed, I know it would be on me. If I pay for a full rebuild or a new saw, that is different.

Bought a Smittybilt x20 10k winch for my trailer

I didn't realize I'd purchased a new race car!!!

Driving my new F-150 with the new Blizzak tires in the unplowed snow of Rte 84 I passed everyone on the road, and no one stayed with me, and I was not pushing it, it just does real well in that stuff!

Was only doing between 40 and 60MPH, but EVERONE ELSE was going slower … even the Tesla! Felt like I was Ken Miles driving a GT-40!!! (That expression will replace the old Mario Andretti one)

Our local clubs are having problems with liability insurance issues, 600K per occurrance aint working with the MTO, so grooming is meh.

Lumbersexual fakes

I was taught to NEVER throw an axe! I have not been to one of those places, and not sure that I could make it stick!

Sadly that was the last car Miles drove.

We are in district 9. I haven't been to any district meetings but haven't heard anything about any issues. Our club is the Chesley and district easy riders. The pin is on my local trail.

I'll get there. I'm having fun with it. But it looks a little better each time to me just wish I had a better camera.

Keep practicing. I was gifted a new square ground chain for the 462 at the GTG. Sooner or later I'll put it on and it will need a file job. We have twice as much snow /ice as Hanover.

Got started cutting up 2 Oak and 2 Hickory that uprooted during a storm last week. Winter of 21 maybe 22, just happened to be 100’ from an oak pile I’m working on splitting up.

Mistakes were made, I blame it on the cold or the fact I had to swap bars to get the first one out of a pinch.

If you want to try that chain in some clean wood theres plenty of oak top left in the woods up the road. I'll give you a file if you want one.
I dug into my snob wood rack and decided it was time to burn some of the locust from lake mead finally. Supposed to be in the teens the next couple nights.

I promised some pics from Thurs/Fri: 1) Me, the truck and the cabin; 2) the lonely outhouse (deluxe, it has a window and a soft seat), 3) the Oak table + bench are doing fine, and 4) the Hickory workbench with the vice.
