Charity Firewood Cutting for Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County WI

[andydodgegeek]

Today is a good day for burning firewood, not cutting it. The wood would have been so frozen I don't think my saw's could have cut it.

But the real question is: Is it too cold to make a stool?

Questionable...

Has anybody tried filing / grinding chain differently for frozen wood? I have been 'told' to adjust the top plate angle from 30° down to 25°. But have not done any side-by-side experiments.

Another great day helping a great cause!!

Not sure who all got this info yesterday but.................
All who have helped with the Interfaith Heat-A-Home project have met Terry and Connie Bowar. We normally are treated with an excellent meal and fellowship at their home after a hard days work in the woodpile. Terry has been fighting cancer for quite some time with many surgeries and procedures in his rear view mirror. Wendy took pele and myself aside yesterday to tell us that Connie was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and tests also show spots on her liver. The path for her treatment is yet to determined. Please keep the Bowar family in your thoughts and prayers. I will be sending some flowers to them today wishing them well from all of us here.

Talked to Terry today. Connie is home from Regions and in hospice care at home. With all the treatments for cancer that he has had-she was always his solid rock. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. To all who have helped-remember the flavor of Connie's rolls at morning break time! I will try to make it up there soon and pass on our groups well wishes.

I'm seeing highs in the low 20's-pretty similar to last time we worked the woodpile.

Philbert,

Semi chisel works much better for me in frozen wood than regular chisel.

I thought I saw a high of 9 for mpls, would be colder up there, maybe I was looking at the tv at an angle.

(edit) Ok I see a high of 25 down here.

Got word from Wendy this AM-Connie Bowar passed away last night.
Arrangements are pending.
Looks like our plans are on hold til further notice.
