Iowa Charity Cut -

[BPS]

If it keeps raining the logs I have stored will float away. Been to busy and muddy to go count the wood I have stacked. Trying to get a good supply of 10 to 14" logs. But still have plenty of bigger stuff.

Idea for food. Thinking of smoking a few turkeys on some Traeger grills. But might make everyone sleepy. Plus we tried making Vic's taco soup Wow it is so good.


I did make more room for cutting/parking. I had the trees to the north thinned. Only about 10 of the overgrown oak trees left.

Taco soup is a creation from Vic Hyman. Marcy got it from him on Facebook. So good!

Brown the ground beef and onions in a large skillet; drain the excess fat, then transfer the browned beef and onions to a large slow cooker or a stockpot. Add the beans, corn, tomatoes, green chiles, black olives, green olives, taco seasoning, and ranch dressing mix, and cook in a slow cooker on low for 6 to 8 hours or simmer over low heat for about 1 hour in a pot on the stove. To serve, place a few corn chips in each bowl and ladle soup over them. Top with sour cream, cheese, green onions and jalapenos.

Good food is 1/2 the Iowa GTG, even if it ends up on your pants some times... [emoji3]

I am done picking up the pile. I counted the pile at 49 cord but I could have missed a few.

Delivered a load tonight and last night.

Now to get going on the diesel splitter.

It did not tip over from the beam being so far out and heavy. Yippee. [emoji3]

 

[Homelite410]

Grapple loader mounted to it?

 

[Stihl Livin]

Providing any major plans hopefull we can make it this spring. We did get a splitter going and still have some additions to do but it's coming together nicely. We we decided that a lift wasn't cost effective for use being we have access to a skid loader with a splitter so we built a log ladder to roll them up. We did add extra flat stock in the larger open areas. We are also building a table out the front so the split pieces will hopefully land on it instead of the ground. Honda gx200 with a 16gpm pump. We have a few bugs to work out yet but we can bring it down with us in the spring.

Looks like you are much further along with your splitter build than I am. Looking forward to see you this spring.

 

[Mrs. Sam-Tip]

This about sums it up. THANK YOU for all you do for Firewood Helper. Merry Christmas!

 

[Time's Standing Stihl]

That's absolutely right Marcy! All of us have super busy lives, but we MAKE time for others!

God bless you and Doug for going the extra mile!

Not to interrupt the charity part of this thread but I know lots of the Iowa guys watch this thread... Do we have a date for spring gtg at Hoskey's? I saw Greenwich might be in late April and I was thinking of saving up for a 17hr road trip...
