Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Logger nate]

Feel pretty fortunate to live here, pretty nice views on the way to wood cutting areaNeeded to get back little sooner today so decided to try mostly log lengths Trees in this area were killed by fire in 2007, roots and base of most are pretty rotten now.Heard a larger tree fall across the draw from me when I was filling up my saw, and the there was no wind. Most of the time I try to fall all the dead ones where I’m working to reduce risk of one falling on me.
Sure miss my forwarder (my son) Tongs sure help thoughtrailer is pretty low to the ground but once it gets half full starts getting hard to get logs intook about 1/2 the amount of time doing logs compared to all blocksAnd a creek pic for Backyard Lumberjack Nice cool day for cutting wood.

Only 83 here today but holy cow it was humid. I took it easy and just did a little work on my deck rather than firewood. Still sweating bullets!!!

Beautiful country Nate, How I would love to trade summertime temps with where your at.

90 here today. I got the last 2 big limbs cut off the trunk this morning and got them bucked. Gave up with the heat. Probably Monday start on the trunk with the new saw and drag the rounds out with the winch then roll them on the trailer.

@Logger nate i ordered and tried a pair of tongs, loved them!!! Ordered a second pair so I can carry one on each side for better balance. Real back savers.

Awesome! Yeah I sure like them, haven’t had near as much back and wrist issues now.

Yeah it’s been unusually nice this year, normally we are in the 80’s this time of year.

Just so you know, we will be requiring video of the new saw in the wood!

Been dipping into 90 here and 60-70% humidity. I'll take it over the constant rain. My clothes will be soaked either way but at least the sun comes out.

I had to drink 5 mason jars of water just to rehydrate after my project before I could start drinking beer!

All I can say is is so nice to be in the Southern Hemisphere at this time of the year!

65 on its way to 56 overnight. Warm day but glorious night.

Mild and dry Winter so far. Farmers up North are stoked for now but unless we get above average rainfall before Summer, they are going to be up the dry creek without the need for a paddle.
Rains just enough in the weekends to make shed time even sweeter.

Will be high 80s 3 days in a row for us, but the night goes down to 60, so not too bad. I just try to not schedule the hard stuff in the afternoon!

Beautiful pics Nate … Giving Cowboy a run for his money!

School is out, so I brought the Grandson's to the Fish and Game club in the afternoon and let them shoot their pellet rifles. We were the only ones at the indoor range, they loved it. I gave them to them for their respective birthday's, and it was the first time the younger one got to shoot his.

Then they saw the archery range now has a 3 D T-Rex, so they begged me to bring them back again soon with their bow and arrows!

@chucker I'm a bachelor for the next 5 weeks and the crappies are calling. If you are up for a road trip we can put a hurting on them!

its definitely time once again, but for now I am still swamped for a couple more weeks....the crappie lake should be boiling by now! hope the rain holds off and the ground dries up! it sounds good to say that I cant catch up … but its getting old fast as my clients want everything done before the 4th?? ……

I agree, always adore nates pics, up there with Dan and cowboy for gorgeous countryside!

Been suffering the 'manflu' all week. Some days worse than others. Worked from home yesterday, finished promptly and then managed a couple of hours gentle splitting and stacking. First time I've felt able to do that this week.

Calling for cooler temps, only 92 today, with scattered severe storms.
