Not to deep here yet, But there are those kind of farmers that will try anything to get there crops off. Same ones that look like they have a used implement spot in the back 40.

Andy, hope your cutting goes well and everyone stays safe!

Just to let everyone know that was at the place cutting for us last winter. Remember when the land owners son came over yelling and swearing up a blue streak? I guess we cleaned up things good enough. I didn't hear a peep from him or the Sheriff.

Good to hear that.
How is your back doing?

Thanks for asking! I'm doing better. My back still reminds me that it got messed up. So does my neck. I can work through it. I have to.

Good to hear you are feeling better. Were you able to get your wood supply put up this summer?

Happy Frozen Monday!

It's a balmy -16 here. The commuter car cranked under protest, I didn't bother trying the woodhauler, but I wouldn't bet against it firing right up, it always has.

I'm sitting by the wood stove enjoying it for a little while until I gotta head into work. They keep it pretty cool in there, it's like they expect us to work to stay warm or something...

Here at the paper mill the bathrooms are freezing up and we are having to shut them down.

Hope the stools at Andy's work aren't doing the same - could be BIG trouble there!

Yes, got that wood stacked.

I thought it would be enough. I met a guy at the gas station this last weekend who was pulling a home made splitter. We started talking and he said that I could cut on his land. Hopefully he calls me this weekend and I can get cutting. We're running out.

Ya this bitter cold has taken its toll on the wood pile for sure.
Thats awesome, hope he calls you, amazing what can come of a conversation started over a wood splitter. If you need any help just say so, I'm sure the AS crew could find a way to help out.

Woo hoo!! Finely above zero again. Flip flops and tank tops in the near future! Well maybe not real near but sure beats negative 30!!

 

[andydodgegeek]

It's gonna be nice this weekend, gonna have to run a saw a bit out by the boiler. The other thing I have planned is to go look at another dodge truck.

 

[GrizzlyAdams86]

After -20, -21, -15, and -10 mornings, 15 above here this afternoon seems like a heat wave. It will be nice not to have to plug the block heater on the truck in every morning...at least for a few days.

I would like to join you and Sarah this weekend and hangout but it doesn't look good. I'm kinda backlogged at work.
Another Dodge? Do tell...

Yes I did, drool drool. If only I could buy it.

Cutting tomorrow morning and the farm where 3 of you guys took down that Ash by his garage. He has a dead Oak that should be good and dry. The bad thing is who knows how many nails I'll find! Oh well, I guess I'll have to take the 042, 026, MS260, and Jonsered 830. Hopefully I'll get it down and cut up with those.

Oh, the little Poulan 2550 with the PowerSharp gets to come for the little stuff.

Pics tomorrow.

No nails! The farmer volunteered to pull the tree out of the deep snow up to his yard with his tractor! That saved me a ton of work! That dry red oak was really hard! Took it's toll on the chain. Got it bucked, split and then they helped me load it with a bobcat! A pickup load of dry red oak is now in the basement along with some of the GTG wood. Once again, the basement is full.
