Not good Neil, as one of my neighbors said when my mum died of cancer..... “That’s the problem with this life, no one gets out of it alive”.indian summer here this week, 21-22 Celcius. house sat at 23C ...got like that after running the stove last night...not burnt tonight...still 23C t-shirt as i sit here on the sofa. still feel a bit odd though...dad's in hospital and only coming out in a box this time
They didn’t have one. I asked a guy about it and he said they didn’t train for that so they don’t use them. They used the jaws of life to shear a lot of it and the rest was bow saws and axes.Did you ask to run one of their saws?
AAAAHH Mulberry!!! nice looking pooch. good for you on the rescue.Local Mulberry scrounge. Two truck loads. Just had to pick it up, as it was already down and cut up.

The shelters are loaded with Pit/Pit mixes, most of them real good dogs. We have had 3 (not at the same time), still have 2, but Thor was a cut above, bonded with me and had judgement, something you just can't "train".
Lol! Nope it’s a ChevyHey @Logger nate is that your old ride .
Sorry to hear Neil, you and your family are in our prayers.indian summer here this week, 21-22 Celcius. house sat at 23C ...got like that after running the stove last night...not burnt tonight...still 23C t-shirt as i sit here on the sofa. still feel a bit odd though...dad's in hospital and only coming out in a box this time
I bought Bonehead from an Amish farmer that was getting rid of him because he wasn’t “aggressive” enough. He is very friendly but he does have a protective side. The neighbor lady who he loves walked over one day and opened the door to walk in before I got to the door. She closed it just as he hit the door. If we let you in he’s a big puppy, don’t walk in on your own.Yes, there are dogs that are very good at judging someone’s “character”. I usually adopt rescues rather than getting a puppy. Sometimes it’s a gamble because you don’t know the dogs history but sometimes it pays off.

Good to gear Neil .Thanks everyone. Seen him today and after 3 units of blood and loads of saline he's a lot better.... Seems it's not yet full on own failure. Waiting for some results from an endoscopy now.
How many tanks have you ran through the 550, if it hasn't had many it will most likely get a good bit stronger yet. I also am a big fan of the flippy caps as well as the captive bar nuts .Buddy came over to get some wood out of the back yard. He brought a horribly neglected 55 rancher and 440 with him. Saws didnt really run good and the chains were trash. I had to get the 445/550 out and use my saws to cut firewood. I owed him anyway cuz hes a good dude so no big. I havent ran the 550 since last winter and have been running the 445 to save wear and tear on the 550 and just used it as a backup to the 445. When I used them both together I hadn't had enough time on either one to notice much of a difference but now that I have some time on the 445 the differences showed up today when I ran the 550. I have a new respect for the 550. I am going to switch and use the 550 as my primary and use the 445 as a backup. The 550 is a SCREAMER. I wasn't really impressed when I bought the saw because of the difference in price for the amount of performance gain but my mind has changed.
Scrounge?? Guy down the highway 10 miles had a dozen trees put down and bucked into 16" (nominal) rounds. Problem is that it is Cottonwood. I know nothing about it as firewood other than it is unbelievably heavy when green. I took my splitter down today and came home with about 1/3 cord. The splits look like they will season into a fairly heavy chunk.
I know people at least in fly-over country burn it. There is no ready source of the good hardwoods in this area so I burn what ever is available. I burn a lot of willow and in fact heated my house with nothing but willow for about 20 years.
Just wondering if it is worth the work to process it. Even a 16" round is just about all I want to lift onto the splitter.
