Just found these, I thik you may apreciate it:


Stupid music (for me), but otherways compilation of some pretty decent trees, some nasty snags coming apart on the impact or even on the stump, piledrives due to tangled limbs...

You know you're a big-shot timber faller when the skidder operator blades the road for you on your way out.....That or he just feels sorry for the dip-#### in the Justy.

Hope you all had a good, safe week - Sam

When I can see through the smoke, yeah I do.

No joke there. . . This BC cold front will give it the smackdown this week.

Supposed to be 49° for a high Friday.

An instant cool down will be hard to adjust to. :msp_sneaky:

The least it could do is sneak up on us, not BLAM cold weather.

 

[madhatte]

That same cold front is scheduled to give us a foehn wind event. Joy.

I made more high stumps this weekend. Don't have any pics... but just wanted to say I did it because I can.

I'm starting to get a real bad feeling that we are going to go from sweating one's ass off, directly to snow...At least at work elevation. I don't like getting ####ed out of fall working weather!

yep, fall, the best season. beautiful time to be a faller, clear blue skies, crisp air, leaves gently falling- for us at least. Been wanting to give you a call, just busy. Hope all is well.

At this point I'll take snow. Any form of precip is better than the bad case of tender dry we have right now. I'm afraid to think about fire right now for fear that some dry bit of brush somewhere will read my mind and start combusting. Even the oldtimers are saying they've never seen it this dry. (They usually say it every year, but this year I believe them.)

I have washed and waxed the Tomato pickup. If that doesn't work, maybe I'll do the Chevy too.

 

[DavdH]

Washed my pickup, water truck got it does that count? Water truck raises more dust than it settles. Still possibility of record breaking highs..

 

[Hddnis]

I live on a long gravel road so washing the truck kind of cancels out for me; either muddy or dusty.

Please make it rain. This summer, heat thing has drawn on long enough. Granted I like seeing the sun. But my pale skin has tanned (that never happens to this ginger). We're still in a level 3 closure here. RFP, Seneca and Lone Rock Timber have all shut their lands down to the public and industrial sides. LRT put out a notice to their own folk, to say off their land or else.

Looks like I should not have said that. Looks like snow on the block in the morning. Winded out by 11 today, something must be making it's way over. Any preview coast people?

From this afternoon's NOAA fire weather forecast:

.DISCUSSION...THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING OFFSHORE WILL
DOMINATE THE WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND...PRODUCING A
PROLONGED PERIOD OF VERY DRY WEATHER AND LIGHT EAST WINDS.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER SOUTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA THIS
AFTERNOON IS MOVING A VERY DRY AIR MASS SOUTHWARD OVER EASTERN
WASHINGTON AND THE CASCADES. AS THE HIGH SLIDES SOUTHEAST OVER THE
ROCKIES TONIGHT...EASTERLY WINDS WILL BEGIN DEVELOPING ACROSS
WESTERN WASHINGTON. THE COMBINATION OF THE ALREADY DRY AIR AND THE
EASTERLY FLOW WILL CAUSE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES TO DROP INTO THE 20 TO
35 PERCENT RANGE THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH POOR TO MARGINAL HUMIDITY
RECOVERY AT NIGHT.

THE STRONG RIDGE WILL REMAIN ANCHORED OFFSHORE INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK
PUTTING WESTERN WASHINGTON IN A PROLONGED PERIOD OF DRY EASTERLY
WINDS. THE WINDS WILL REMAIN PREDOMINANTLY LIGHT...BUT THERE COULD
BE SHORT PERIODS OF LOCALIZED MODERATE EAST WINDS THROUGH FRIDAY.

What this means to you is that we are about to steal your good weather, and we don't want it.

It's not from the coast -- it's right out of Canuckistan. You guys are supposed to see very little precip from this, where we're supposed to get it all.

Then back to warmer and drier than normal.

 

[slowp]

It is just windy. The wind started about an hour ago.
