We make a ramp . . . out of saw dust . . . (like the Romans, or Egyptians . . . )

I think I will be able to make it. I will have my skid steer with.

Excellent. I think Tim has his loader torn apart as well doing some repairs. I'm going out to the garage today to try and figure out what is wrong with mine. I think it is an intermittent short in the BICS system. I've been looking at it and have already fixed a couple bad looking connections.
Or this way. But we could substitute a truck or tractor for the horses.
Found this one looking for the picture above. Don't know if the load is really that heavy or he's just showing off for the camera. The info for the picture said it's from the 1940's.

Don't you just hate it when you are deep into a project with really dirty hands and you suddenly have a urgent need to make a stool?
I am thinking that we develop an elevator system similar to the shipping locks on the Mississippi river: the fresh saw log is rolled onto a lever arm; the other end of the lever arm is slowly loaded with cut rounds, rolling off the platform, until they have enough weight/mass to raise (or at least counter balance the log) up to the cutting platform. After the saw log is rolled onto the cutting deck, the cut rounds are unloaded to the splitting platform, allowing the log lift to return for another log.
We could do a whole Mother Earth News documentary on it. . . .

I'm sure that sled is froze down from sitting all night, a yank er two l gitter loose.
In February 41 when I was born they brought me from the plowed road to the house in the middle of the mile on a sled like that and a team of horses.

That's a Case VAC with 26hp. I learned to drive on one like that. In my experience with that load and those cleats on the tires, he wasn't just showing off. You could easily get the front end up with those. Sometimes to your peril!Or this way. But we could substitute a truck or tractor for the horses.

I think I got the skidsteer fixed. I was in the garage all day. Worked on it and Sarah's truck and a 451EV Jonsereds. Ordered a Carb rebuild kit for the saw on line, should be here early this week. Might bring it with.
What did it take to fix the skidsteer?

If it's really cold I think I'm going to have to stay home. I prefer to keep my nut's.

Me too.
If we can get the brush pile burning we should be able to heat half of Burnett County!
Talked to a person from church who's been up a few times before with the church group about this weekend. He's planning on coming up, wants to see the cutting stand in use.

-2 for a hi and -19 for a low. I'm not trying to be a puss but I think we should reschedule.
