No haints or drop bears around here , I checked .
Only found a tractor .

 

[dancan]

Almost time for cantoo to be checking in isn't it ?

There are no drop bears in North America but there is the nocturnal black beaver.

I haven't run a saw since New Year's Eve. That will change in 6 days. It's been a long dry spell. But at least I will have 3, maybe 4 saws to test out that I haven't used before.

Well , since the coast was clear of drop bears , haints and chupacadres I went scrounging

Earlier this week I made some chain chokers for the winch , usually choker hooks or loops start at around 15$ and up .
I had stopped at an army surplus store last week and picked up some Crosby 1/2" loops and quick links so it made a choker for 2$ .

I tested one today , it was small birch but it works just like a fancy one

official scrounger card could be in jeopardy. worse than losing your man card.

Yeah I know.

I'll make up for it this spring. I promise.

Well I made it there and back and she even made me supper. 1st pic, fresh snow in the landing, hiding the mudhole in the middle. 2nd pic is a few trees down, cut down maybe a dozen. 3rd pic is 2 that are hung up, just caught the ends of a couple of maples and wouldn't go right down. 4th pic shows the mudhole when I was done, pain in the azz.

5th pic is one of the loads, I got 2 home. 6th pic is a side view. 7th is one pile at home, got maybe 45 bigger logs ands 25 smaller ones. Not bad from standing to pile. And I didn't break anything. Well my back is sore but that's normal for old people.
