Hoping we can hold off on snow through Christmas. I'd like to get my yellow birch scrounge home while I can still drive a truck through the woods rather than waiting till spring.

How do your local boys semi road legal monstah trucks deal with the snow? I would think a foot of lift and taller tires would have to help to extend the access season some.
 
Was talking to my brother yesterday , he's moved back to our hometown area and staying at the Mil's house .
Geographically , it puts him in a typically wetter and warmer area being at the southern tip of the province than where I'm at .
He's been cutting spruce blowdowns for the last few weekends and was saying how soggy the ground was , now that we're in the windy season if it was standing last week after a days worth of wind it's leaning , cut it down and the stuff that was standing straight up behind it is leaning the following weekend .
It's been good for him because the dead standing stuff only has to sit in the heated basement for a week with the fan on and the dehumidifier running and it's good to go in the indoor boiler for daytime wood , he only uses the fancy store bought hardwood for the night burns if the temps dip .
 
We got so much rain today if it were snow it would have been 2 - 3', but I knew it would not snow again, I just got a plow for the ATV!

Yeah, I was wonderin' who ruined this storm! We were supposed to get 4-8 inches. Started out as freezing rain here, but quickly went to all rain. They are calling for snow again today and tonight. "90%" so they say.

Plowing with a lawn tractor just doesn't cut it. Not enough weight for pushing. Plus the fun of changing over from mowing to blowing and back. And, there's the little things they DON'T tell you in the owners manual with those little tractors, especially if it's not kept in a heated garage.. Potential ice up of the air filter, (snow blowers don't have air filters). The need to dump the 30 wt oil in the engine and replace with 5/30 or 10/30. And those little hydro trannys' REALLY need to warm up before moving, let alone pushing snow. Lordy do they howl when they are cold.
 
Nice lookin' saw . . . . !

Thanks buddy! Figured everyone poses their Husqvarna or Stihl saws in pics so I put the Makita in lol. Looks still haven't grown on me yet but I love the way she spits out noodles. Really smooth saw, kind of reminds me of my Cadillac. Smooth driver with some grunt.

"Just had my Silver Oak cut down.

It's about 2 cords of uncut wood so buyer needs to cut and split the wood. The bad pieces should be used for outdoor fire pits or bonfires. The good parts are great for indoor burning.

Asking $240.00 obo

Please text or email if interested."

Do you guys see a lot of this around you? Man, that's (^) hilarious. Trying to charge someone $240 to take a way a tree. Lots of pieces still need to be bucked too.
