Just got back home from loading up a couple of trailers with logs I had cut last spring & never got around to bringing home. Had some steep hills to climb. My tractor knew it had a load behind it. 16' long trailer with 8-10' long oak & hedge logs piled 3' high. Photos tomorrow.

Spent a day last week trimming dead limbs out of trees along our dead end road. Ended up topping 4 & 1/2 good sized oaks. Will be taking the trunks down in month or so when I have time to work with them. There a a couple cords of rounds sitting on the log bucking trailer & splitter waiting to be split. Wish I had a week to devote to just processing the logs I already have on hand.

Hope to spend another day in a couple of weeks finishing topping the 80+' high oak & trimming out the rest of the dead limbs before the trees loose their leaves. Have 5 other dead or dieing trees to drop as well. With power lines on the side of the road I have to drop everything straight down until the trunks are down below the power lines before falling the trunks.

I sure am blessed to have found the Marklift 62' reach self propelled boom lift to work from! Now if I only had a large chipper for the limbs, ... .

If I got snags, or trees rapidly approaching snagdome, that threaten my power I call the power company and let them top em. I always remind them they can get them now or wait until the weather takes em down in which case they'll pay for my food spoilage. Just sayin

I had them out this past spring but they did not trim them as much I had expected/wanted.

Morning midlanders.

Darn Echo CS330T runs and dies. Acts like a large air leak but havn't found out where. Boot is good. Bearings are tight. Crank seals, I dunno.

Been examining the muffler. Has a honeycomb inside it. Have to take it apart.

Morning folks!

I'm waiting for photos from this past weekend's events.

Bees get every where! Have a pancake air compressor that seemed to run well but just wouldn't put out any air. Took off the air intake muffler to take a look at the cylinder/rings. Yup, it was clogged off with a bee's nest.

The mud dubbers love to plug off the fittings for my air tools also. Now I use 3/8" vacuum caps on the fittings to keep them out. Works great!

Morning everybody. My home computer tanked over the weekend. Taking it to shop to see if it is worth fixing. I think I am going for an Apple this time.

Been a busy weekend for me. Traded an 034 for an MS290 and a bit of cash. Just gotta get rid of the 290 now. The guy that said he wanted one said it wasn't new enough, lol. I guess that's what I get for trying to help somebody out. Now I'm stuck with a terd saw, lol. Nothing else, it can be a loaner saw. Got my aftermarket 026 put back together, now has 125 psi of compression. I think I'll run a few tanks through it and see what happens.

I saw the thread but I cannot see the pics from work (just get the boxes with red X's) and my home PC tanked on me. I agree, Alex does top notch work.
