Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[turnkey4099]

Might be vapor lock. Have you checked your fuel cap? Next time, try to loosen the cap before you start it to see if that helps.

Thanks. I just thought of that this morning. I'll be out playing with it tomorrow while I'm winterizing the saws.

It struck me today that we here in the deep South have a golden opportunity to gloat about our great weather while you lot up there are stuck indoors getting cabin fever and climbing up the walls. In six months time you can repay the favour. This thought came to me as I realised there is a streaming camera focussed on one of my local fishing spots. So, next time I'm heading out there, which shall be soon, I'll post a link and you guys can dream of beautiful beaches and hot fishing spots while I'm out there doing it and live streaming it for you.
Just one fly in the ointment however. Well, two perhaps. Firstly, yous fellas will probably be asleep while I'm hanging on to a runaway aquatic freight train or seven in my kayak, and the camera is a looong way from the water so I'll just be a green speck. Still, worth a shot.

I like the colder weather over the heat of summer. But I'll fish anytime big flatheads never stop eating no matter the weather.

It was 60F here yesterday. We haven't any winter weather yet.

Ice at the sides of the road and the snow is all around us, even on the lowest peaks which can be hardly called mountains (in Britain they'd qualify as local equivalents of the Annapurna however ). Bird baths in the garden are all frozen over and I am burning Black locust and English walnut like there is no tomorrow.
More scources of scrounging are needed.

It's already 70 degrees here this morning (north Florida). I finally got all of the parts to get my Echo 352 project saw up and running so I'll do that later this week.

I have located a tree service lot where I can go cut wood. Unfortunately it doesn't appear there are any AS members nearby otherwise I'd cut wood for free for them.

You scrounge wood in Florida?

Who talked you into going to Florida for the winter???

My wife has this idea that she wants us to do the snow bird thing in Phoenix (in like 20 years) but I told her the snowmobiling sucks down there. Beautiful 20 degrees blue skies and calm winds this morning here.

Ah, yes. Seasonal Affective Disorder, also known as SAD. I'm going down to the sundrenched coast fishing in a week too. Hope that thought helps you cheer up.

When it rains you can always work with the saws inside. Im Gona touch up chains clean air filters and just generally clean everything up since its crap outside today. 2 months would get to me to hope it starts snowing here soon.

That live streaming surf camera mentioned above will henceforth be called my no pro camera. It's so much better than go pro. Video bombing is the trend for this festive season.

Please post pics and video. The troops on the front white line up North need our supplies of vital virtual vit D.

So I noticed the other day I get chips like this in the ash logs.and dust like this in the oak logs with the same chain. Is it the difference in wood or is my fileing really bad.

its the grain of the wood as oak has a tighter grain than ash

White ash will throw shards like oak but larger like that versus true chips from softer wood. I would say if you think the chain feels like it is cutting without excess pressure then you are good.
