Why I love the PNW

Hazy day but the mountain always makes a great back drop.

A nice lenticular cloud coming off the mountain

Beautiful ice formations

Mntngal waiting for me to stop taking pics.

Great pics Brian.
Are you part of the yarding crew?
I used to process and forward for a yarder.
Haven't seen a processor with a heel before, but would make it alot more versatile.
Beaut scene shots also.

No just wanna be. Logging runs in my family just knew the right people to be the right place right time for pic. Coming out of high school wanted to be a timber rat but mr spotted owl started disappearing so after 2 years pf high school forestry/logging 101 had to get a real job and watched the collapse of the PNW timber industry. Fortunately I got to cut for a big land owner for 5 years back in the 90s just tractor skidding saw logs' Cedar shingle and shake bolts and commercial firewood.

The yarder was from a month ago or so, we were cutting over on an area that was shoveld earlier this year. Just looked out the window snow flakes have started as we speak.

Hey sawbones heres my little load mostly dougfir from landing culls. Not really in need of wood but we pile it up so the neighbors and family who do in the middle of winter have some one to turn to.

The Mountain is backwards! Flip it around and make it right!

Stopped spitting flakes and started more of a sprinkle of flakes. The dog water thawed enough to dump it and looks like the shop faucet survived, but I still have a heat lamp on it. I'll find my camera and add to the pictures here.

Friday In The Banana Belt

It was 6 degrees above the big 0. The sun doesn't hit the bottom much here.
But it will tease us.

Did I mention it was 6? Here's a look at the work area.

And what line of work might the owner of this pickup be in? It might have warmed up to 7 degrees by then. The bumpersticker says, Are You An Environmentalist? Or do you work for a living?

I see oils, chokers. wheres the trash, wrenches, & 50+ lbs of residual grease?

 

[Jacob J.]

+extra 80 lbs. of bark chunks, saw chips, misc. pieces of hardened pitch that looked cool, and slices of wood cut from guy stumps.

 

[056kid]

as well as 35 lbs of 3/4'' chain, and at least 150 lbs of broken truck parts like pinion gears, clutches, wheel caps, and 1 or 2 starters.

then an assortment of busted hydro hoses and a few batterys. along with 1 or 2 bent bars and some wore our saw chains...

then if it rains, all the grease seals in the water making a nice tub....

And no U-shaped dent in the top of the tailgate from backing into a tree with the tailgate down.

That reminds me of my grandpa who worked in the stone quarries until he was 75. When I was younger he had an older f-250 and every weekend when I went up to his house there would be two new holes in the side of the box covered with duck tape from him putting the pallet forks through the box.

Hey Brian...or whatever your name is.
