Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[muddstopper]

Dang its hot in here. supposed to snow a little tonite and temp drop so I have kept the stove stoked. Might have to open the doors.

We only got about 1-2” of snow instead of 12” but it turned to rain and is still raining now. Supposed to drop to the teens by morning, not good.

About an inch here, and raining now. Don't think tomorrow is going to be the sleigh riding for the G kids that we hoped for.

 

[Deleted member 149229]

2 AM and the rain is turning to freezing rain and sleet. Yippee!

3" of snow here

But sun thawed it and time to address the 18' mystery butt log.


Can't lift or drag it so let the big dog , 395, eat. 5 tanks later and almost complete.

Make sure we see the slabs, that’s a heck of a hunk of wood.

18 inch butt logs? Not my thing, but each to their own, I guess.

 

[Deleted member 149229]

I think he means 18’ long.

4:30 AM and it’s now snowing like crazy. Should be lots of fun with all the ice underneath the snow and temps dropping to the teens.

Went to TSC for a couple gallons of bar oil this morning. Just had to cruise the clearance aisle, you know how it is...
Have been watching for a nice heavy shackle to go in the recovery kit. Spied this for $43. View attachment 697934 Quick on line search showed best price at Amazon was over $70 so in the cart it went.

I saw those right after christmas but they were still around $60 on clearance. I always head for the clearence wall in the back of the store. i guess my best deal was a J-Red chainsaw for $100. Best i could do yesterday was a new sunday go to meeting Carhartt hat.

Just wait, it’s coming. You got a Jred for $100!!! None of the TSC around here even put them on clearance, they had to ship them back.

It was a return that the guy said didn't run right. Looked like it never even touched wood. I guess my other clearance deal was the 25 ton splitter for $629.
Got some J-Red gloves for $4.00

Well, that's even worse.

It's going to get to the mid 40s here today don't think theres gonna be much snow. Calling for high winds though.

Was 1*F at 6 AM, up to 4* now, on its way to a high of 12*. My saw caddy needs some work. It's a good day to do that. Got ~2" of white stuff yesterday. Tuesday looks like the onset of the January thaw at 28*

 

[James Miller]

Saw cleaning day here frozen snow covered wood makes a mess of everything.
