It's cold outside. I'm gonna cut up some logs tomorrow out by the boiler, if anyone want to join in on the festivities just let me know. Supposed to be cold but I guess I'm getting used to that.

I'd like to join you but am kinda wiped out. I had a service call today. I had to work on a piece of equipment on the roadside. Then on my way back to the shop, my truck stalled and left me on the side of the road. 45 minutes of crawling around under the truck, I got it going again. I still have the chills.

Not a nice day to be working on the roadside. No problems Tim, you've helped me out several times, heck I feel like it's about time I helped you out. Just let me know if there is ever anything you need a hand with. I remember you talking about cutting them big Cottonwoods by your garage, sounds like a fun time once the weather gets a bit nicer.

Andy not sure it will work but what time are you thinking?

I'd like to spend a few days cutting out west... unfortunately the truck isn't going anywhere until some more plowing gets done. But at least I got a round bale drug in to feed the horses.

Wow. THANK YOU KEVIN!!! (kdeerpark) I didn't even get 1 stinking picture... but what a workhorse. Can't thank you enough for helping out today- every log we had left is now cut, & much is also split... hopefully it warms up soon! Cripes!

I wish I had the time to help out you and Andy. Between work and trying to cut enough to feed the boiler at a friends shop down here I can never seem to make it out there. I did get to run the Johnny 2153 today that I picked up yesterday. It is a nice little saw and Scott did a great job on it as usual. The heated handles sure were nice on this cold day

Andy, I always look forward to hangin out at your place and hope to get back up there again in a few weeks. Your system of handling the logs with the skid-loader makes it more fun than work. Don't feel obligated in any way.
Thanks for the offer of help. Getting that cottonwood down looks daunting. That thing is so big, I don't know where to start. Once down, it looks like a good oppertunity to to run a long bar.

Whenever you want, come on over. Anyone who wants to help or hang out is welcome. I'll stock up on Sprechers rootbeer and cherry cola. I have to warn you, to fell it will require skills and experience that I do not possess. I'm guessing it is over 6 foot diameter. I'll get a tape out and measure it. If you want the wood, bring your trailer, we will get you loaded up. If not, that's ok, it's a short trip to the burn pile.
