Way to go, my southern woodcuttin brothers!

The bar's been raised, all we've done is make the newspaper on our charity cuts up here. Guess we need to "alert the media" LOL.

I thought Cobey was a midget at first, then realized he was just standing next to Matt!

Again, hat's off to all of you, and I hope to see many of your faces again or for the first time in Iowa come April.
 
I need everyone that was at the charity cut to pm me their email addresses, please. The land owner has pictures he wants to send everyone. He had a really good time going around and taking to us. He said we are welcome back anytime.
Steve
 
Marc, thanks for the chains and bar, ant tuning help on the husky, thanks for the cool tool pouch you made for us all Steve
it will come in handy for sure!!
 
I'm Bummed! About 1/3 the way to the charity cut the transmission on my van went out. Totally changed my weekend plans. Fortunately my brother only lives about 9 miles from me. He was able to grab my car hauling trailer & come to my rescue. The car hauler has a hitch on the back so we ended up with a caravan of trailers hooked up. First the car hauler with the van on it, next the splitter, & then the 12' trailer. I wish I know where I left my camera, it would have made a good picture, the splitter & front of the 12' trailer were all shiny from transmission fluid until I got home. 3 miles of gravel roads glued to the transmission fluid real well.

Got home & unhooked the caravan then off to my brother's to take out my frustration on some trees he is trying to clear out of the inside of his coal pit before it fills up after having the dams built up. Ended up with 2-1/2 cord for the afternoon.

Next day, today, Sunday, blessed with great weather, initial frustration relieved, removed the transmission. Tomorrow it will go in for repair.

Prayerfully I will be able to make it next time.
 
looks like you guys had fun and cut a bunch of wood. Sorry I didn't get to come but had a family thing that I had forgotten about and then woke up not feeling that well to boot! Feeling a little better now. Enough so that I finished up my complete rebuild on the 046 that I picked up last fall from a local dealer with bad bearings and a scored up piston. Used some timing #'s that Matt was kind enough to share and my SIL came out today so we could put it through a test run. We cut a truck and trailer load with it and it runs really nice with those specs, Thanks Matt! Now on to the 084!!!!Oh Yeah got a big ol' pine log that's destined to become the timber frame of my greenhouse. Need to try the beast out on the mill....Pictures will be forthcoming.

So when is the next cut gonna be Steve?
 
After the newscast about us last night another landowner contacted us about cutting on his place. We will need to go look at it first. Got to figure out logistics and such. It is a ways east of here, probably about half way between me and AWOL.
