Hey all, I just picked up a Jonsered 2188 with a 32" bar new from a dealer 2 days ago. I went out yesterday to break it in.

The first tree it ever cut was a 1000bf pine from my land. My dad went out with me and snapped some pictures of the process with my camera.

Today I was clearing state forest roads from blowdowns I had to pack that baby in 5 miles with 3 gallons of fuel/bar and chain. This is my first real saw and I feel it now sitting down after a long day cutting.

Heres some pictures from yesterdays pine.

Sorry for so many pictures but there small. I don't know about you west coast guys but timber this big is rare around here so big occasion.
 
Thanks.

We sure have them around here. Where I was cutting there was a stand of around 20. However in my experience of western mass forests they are not common. Too much high grading nonsense and regrown fields.
 
that sounds like a plan to me[/QUOTE

Ted, I will be hooking you up with some bait for your winter Steelies too. I can't wait brother!!! :cheers:

no ****! The whole curing thing gets friggin extravigant quik when you look into it. now I can see if What I fixed up last season was worth a hoot, cause Im bettin your stuff is on point... For me going out with bait that im confident in seems to make a huge difference as far as catching fish. Hell im about as green as they come with the west coast fishing though..
 
I need to get the wife talked into a vacation out there. It wouldn't be hard to do but that's my busy time of year for work.
 
A Reminder!!!!

Here's my whine or rant. All you fallers, please cut those stobs off. My legs are getting all messed up with big polka dot bruises from wallowing through your brush!! It is Summer and time to wear shorts when not in the woods. Those pointy little stobs AKA pig ears, make for bad words. We don't want that.

OK, lecture over. :cheers:

More bad words to come tomorrow.
 
Cut a few snags on vacation. Had to make my mom roll her eyes about something :greenchainsaw:
