WE WERE BLESSED TODAY by a bunch of chainsaw nuts! Thanks guys! It was tough just watching! Thank you for your gifts of food, fuel, and a laugh now and then!

You know you guys followed the safety rules very well! :msp_biggrin: Everyone left with the same number of arms and legs you came with, and didn't hurt the guy next to you!

Sorry you guys had to experience the landowners son getting upset! I thought for sure I had asked the right guy for permission, that would be the guy who lives there! It did end well! I DID NOT see that one coming! Thanks for the extra help with cleanup at the end!

THANKS! Dan, Linda, and Lilyana!

Oh, VINIFIREWOOD, the yard light is working great! It's nice to have it working again! AND it's a white light!

 

[Hinerman]

Nice job. Bet you had a good time. That should keep you warm for awhile. Post some more pics if you got 'em.

We got a lot done today, once we finally got started cutting! Was a lot of fun seeing old friends and meeting some new ones too!

Lucky for me, NO ONE got away with the Green Monster! Those Fiskars guys were all ga ga over my Splitting axe, let me tell ya! Why, one of 'em even offered me TWO Fiskars for my one axe, but I wasn't about to be fooled! No siree!

Seriously, first time I tried a fiskars, and I wasn't impressed too much. I even took my axe and split one that one of them water-walkers wouldn't! oke: In the end, it's just an axe, no different than mine I guess!

The only reason your green monster went through that log was they fiskars had already started the split your green monster just finished it off.

Some photos - I'm bad with names so a few of you might have to help.

For those who were not there, we mostly cut blow down stuff in a wooded area behind the farm - pretty tangled up, so it took a bit of work to extract stuff. Dragged most of it as logs to our improvised 'landing' with a skid steer loader piloted by flyboy553, bucked it, split it, loaded it into WetGunPowder's dump trailer, and took it back to Manyhobies' place, as shown in the earlier photos posted by Steve NW WI.

Fettuccine anyone?

What, no pics of splitzilla in action there? What ya swingin?

 

[Erock]

looks like you guys had a good time. I really wanted to go but had to work on a new bar that's going up in Cokato. hopefully I can make er to the next gtg

No, no pics of the green monster in action. Methinks that since all of those guys are Fiskars worshippers, they didn't want a pic of an axe that could outdo it!

It's just a 4.5 lb splitting axe with wings forged in to the sides, nothing special, got it at Menards about 3 yrs ago. I can't recall the brand of it. It's a good axe. Really if an axe splits a piece of wood, how can a different one do it better. On the piece that I split where the Fiskars couldn't, I hit it one time and it split. Fiskars had hacked at it several times prior.

I also want to say a huge thank you to everyone that was able to make it yesterday. It was nice to be able to put faces to names, although I'm terrible with names especially adding actual names into the mix. And it was really a privilege to work with a group of people so eager and willing to help someone that most of us didn't even know.
Good luck to you Dan, hope your recovery is a speedy one.

 

[jonsered raket]

I had a great time, it was great to see the pile grow. Glad i could help out. Got to meet some great people as well, and dan let me know if you find any more minibikes, that thing looked sweet.
Ted your axe still sucks jk

Yeah. First off, everyone has 'two' names. No one looks anything like their avatar. Half the folks are middle aged guys with glasses and beards. It usually takes me until at least the 3rd GTG until I start to recognize people. So please don't think I am being unfriendly if I don't address you by name!

Yeah, Ted was the biggest disappointment! :hmm3grin2orange:

7 - 11 inches of snow predicted for the Twin Cities in the next few days.
I guess that the rest of the 50:1 I mixed for the GTG is going into the Toro!

Good thing we cut yesterday. This new snow is going to slow things up again.
