Curious to know are any of you guys up in the northern hemisphere burning yet? We’re about to hit the equinox so I guess it’s just around the corner.

I'm hoping to hold off until the end of October. But honestly anywhere from the first week into Oct to the 1st week of Nov it could get rolling.

not cold enough to light stove #1 or stove #2 here, I've donned a thin sweater though. The stove is just lit at mum and dad's....I'm determined to keep him properly 'wood warm' for however long he has left.

We had 98° 'Merican last week. Rain and high 70s this week.

So no, not yet. We are still in "f**k this heat" mode.
 
28A3740A-E44D-4CAD-8F26-421FA01CBB5C.jpeg Guy that’s 82 had a black locust go over with the storms we had. Called a tree service, they told him $600 to get rid of it. Somehow he got my name. Told him he burns the branches, I cut and keep the wood and $50 for gas in the truck, he’s 20 miles one way and can’t get a trailer in. Well, if you were good at backing up a trailer you might be able too. Anyway, he smiles and says “Deal.” 2 easy truckloads of black locust for 2020.

Lows here have been in the low 50s some nights this week. People wearing sweatshirts to work an I'm just looking at them trying to figure out when it got cold.
 
View attachment 674580 And the LORD was with me. On my first cut to dismember the rootball I happened to look over the far side of the trunk before I let the @Red97 ported 590 start eating.
Those ported 590s like to play in big wood now and then. Cant let the Dolmars have all the fun.
 
55/60 at night 70/80 days and sunny up here in the Great White North , it looks like it'll drop next Monday maybe .

Hey Cowboy , tendinitis in the left elbow for the last month and a bit , it sure sucks to hold a chainsaw by the end of the day but I still got that houselot done .
Ice and naproxen not much relief .
Other that not doing anything for a bit or an amputation , any suggestions ?
I've been toughing it out so far so more pain at the end of the day just lets me know I'm alive , I just don't want to drop a beer if I grab it with the left hand lol

When I get it I use one of these, I wraps above and below the elbow, those single straps to me are useless. This thing really helps. Do and eBay search, they run $5-$8 shipped.

My first post in this thread, as well as my first takedown. A coworker had a dying sugar maple on his property he wanted gone. Win win for both of us as he doesn't have to worry about it anymore and I got the wood, plus put some time on the Wild Thing I got running earlier this year. :) Unfortunately, when I was almost done sectioning the trunk, my saw got an air leak, but I caught it in time before it did any lean damage.

When I got tendonitis it took months to go away. Wishing you luck.

Not my first go round but usually gone in a month or so , even had it in both elbows once , couldn't pick up the youngest to put her on my lap when she was 3 .
Dahmer , thanks , I'll look to see if I can get my hands on a double wrap :)
