Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Deleted member 150358]

He got a heck of a deal on that. 7k as pictured. The 2350 quick attach loader usually bring 5k. So the 100hp 766 gasser was all but a gimme for 2k.

Just finished filing the 038 chain with the intention of dropping this dying oak on the edge of the yard. No sooner finish filing and a popup thunderstorms rolled in. Big ole drops. Maybe later...

3 windows trimmed out so far and I’m on to doors after lunch once I fix one piece of trim that didn’t meet my approval.

Got as far as pulling out a limb that fell off the above tree a couple summers back. That did what I hoped and cleared a decent path into the tree.

Which revealed this is where past generations tossed cans and scrap.



Too wet to go much farther gonna clean up some brush and go watch fireworks!

Happy Independence Day!

Todays load from the oak in the woods. A little work in progress. And tomorrow's load ready to be dragged out to the open field to be split and brought home. Taking the kabota for these. Rolled the first load out by hand with the BIL it sucked in this humidity.

This afternoon she had called me about a shed fore sale on one of her facebook groups polly 25 miles from home , I explained her the logistics of picking up a shed , hauling it 25 miles and then trying to place it where it should go Lol
Call your buddy and ask how many beer for 25 miles

Nice Pics James!

Every part of this property is beautiful. Just sold for 2.1 million. Going to see if the new owners are as friendly as the folks there now but not getting my hopes up. 27 acres to scrounge on would be great 30 seconds from home.

Great views of the Ford indeed!

Doing paperwork tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow pics will have the ford in it.

James, when you go to see the new owners make sure take some before and after pictures of the work you did. More than likely they will be glad to have you continue to clean up the property. .

Just Jeff, this one was just off #6 just before Roxy's so about 15 kms south of Tobermory. They moved a bigger one from the same spot earlier in the day. I think I'm going to at least wear gaiters when I cut trees there. I wear ear muffs so the rattle isn't going to be much warning. My loggers pants might be stiff enough to stop the fangs but if I get bit the shite running down my pants leg will smell bad waiting at the hospital.

Dont bother we have em up here too, kind like black bears, just tell em to piss off and respect there right to there land also, youll be fine.

From what I hear, you pretty much have to step on one to get bit. Or antagonize one.

Or not see it.

When my Dad was in the reserves, to get him ready for WWII, they sent him to VT in the winter and TX in the summer, I can tell you he never returned to either place!

In TX, he said some guy went out to relieve himself in the night and stepped in the wrong place and he did not survive (they must have been mating and he got bit several times). Another guy woke up in the morning to discover one in the sleeping bag with him, but he was very careful and did not get bit.

That’s one nice thing about being up north. Short of falling through the ice in the winter, there’s not much out in the woods that can kill you.

Damn Im happy to dont have thoses in my area ! It's make me hate mosquitos and black fly a bit less.
We dont have real killer in our woods here in Quebec Canada, black bears are not a big deal. The real killer is the winter cold. Dont want to get stuck 20 miles into the wood without equipment at -30C.

I knew a guy who lived and worked in a small town in the Yukon. said that to venture out in the midst of winter's cold... was a life threatening experience. if... and each and every time. like driving alone on the hiway under such conditions. he always went with a back up vehicle if traveling was necessary. all the sidewalks in town had plug in engine block heaters. not sure what would be worse... crank case oil at -45f... or a pan full of bacon grease at 65f...

We are supposed to have both Copper Heads and Timber Rattlers around here, but I have never seen one in the wild. When my Brother had his house in Garrison, he saw them, but not me.

I have had people warn me there was one ahead on the hiking trail several times, but they are always gone when I get there.

I think I have only seen Garter Snakes, Ring Neck Snakes, Water Snakes, Corn Snakes, Black Racers and Black Rat Snakes. Also, once when I was in Scouts we was a Green Snake.

The Racer's and Rat Snakes can get 6+ feet. The Racer's are often not afraid of you, and almost seem friendly. Not so with the Rat Snakes and Water Snakes, very bad dispositions!

MM is right! rat snakes can get long. I have seen them. lil loch ness monsters...

 

[Backyard Lumberjack]

A guy I work with got bit by a 4' timber rattler. We have a couple of spots here were there are quite a few of them. He is a snake lover and would relocate them when the town gets a call. They are protected here. Anyway it almost killed him and after a couple weeks in the hospital his arm is still in bad shape. I didn't see it but I was told his hole arm turned black and he lost a bunch of movement in his hand.

venom in the system is really bad stuff! some worse that others, but in any event... usually not welcomed!

I could post up an image or two, but they are all quite graphic! so... should any pix be desired, just google it...
