Sounds good! I may be in Saturday actually.

I'll know more by Friday so I'll let you know .
Saturday looks to be the best weather day of the weekend so far .
If it's a go for this Saturday bring your 550 along , there's still a few to drop and we'll have to shorten the tree length to get them in the trailer .

So , while I was scroungin with my Makita I found a nice sugarmaple blowdown

I took a test cut towards the top

So down to the butt I went , cleared some snow and took my best guess to cut it off

The brown sawdust = a bad guess , I had to go put the Kita away and cut it off a few inches higher with the 241 lol

That is hard core right there. I’m impressed

Spent the afternoon in Canada’s largest city. Got a $150 smack on the peepee for not knowing how to read the parking signs! Glad to be back in the country with my fire going.

Little skinny peckerpole. I took another one down and topped this one out back in October, and fianlly got back to it today. I always nag safety to folks. Even on this little straight Spruce, I stuck a tag line on it. I could have notched it and pushed it over by myself. But, it took less than 5 minutes to stick the 20 foot extension ladder on it, tie off the tag line, and hook it to the ball on my truck. Put a little tension on it and no chance of hitting the neighbors fence or my friends fairly new driveway, Joe.

Spruce you say? Is it good for anything or will you just take it to the landfill like the white pine?

I was there last week for a 2 hour traffic jamb. I got caught up in the one by Don Valley where the truck driver jack knifed going on the onramp. Darn cops had 4 lanes blocked off for no reason at rush hour. I love leaving the City.

And not in a good way, I assume .

Worked in NYC for many years, could fill these pages with strange stories and traffic jams. I don't miss it a bit!

Went to Filthadelphia once. Should have gone to places outside the city it was a crap hole. Been asked to go to New York City a few times and just have no interest. Rather be at the cabin in western Maryland then any big city again.

I pulled the pine from the other day out of the tree line. Its going to a coworker for his firewood pile. Can I be taken off the reported list.

Looks like poplar. Does it split easy?

yea but it was froze. Not sure how it splits thawed out. I thought the red oak I got would be hard to split but when its froze it does good.

Both are usually very easy to split types of wood

Me to. If I turn the other way on 94 I'm in Maryland and that's worse .

So there was this time I get out of the subway train, at a location I had never been before, and I enter a large underground room. There are supposed to be 3 exits, but two of them are gated closed (likely illegal). There is no one else in the room, but there are 3 girls on the stairs, talking a laughing very loudly, and as I approach (dressed in my jacket + tie, and carrying my attache case), I realize these 3 "girls" are all a good deal bigger than me ...

As the realization came over me that the 3 "girls" weren't, I resolved not to miss a step and pretend everything was normal. Luckily there was no incident, but I will never forget it. I was very relieved when I finally reached "open space"!!!

They make one great Scrapple and egg sandwich in Philly, Joe.
