We went out today to cut a load of wood for a friend, he had his rebuilt 45 Husky along for the ride, it went great which was pleasing to see.
Well I had some “Craigslist laughs” photos to post but the cell service has gone down the toilet lately up here so I’ll do that in town.
Going to pick up some more trim boards later and hopefully finish that project this evening.
Then back to firewood. Still want to bring 8 cords home plus I owe 4 1/3 cords to one friend and a 1/2 cord to another.

Mentally I'm in firewood mode. Unfortunately I have a bathroom sink relocation project (for accessibility) brewing. Then I committed to a transmission swap in a Vibe next week. A small loader job hoisting some scrap steel. Oldest daughter's wedding in September is weighing in from time to time. Then there is a lovely young widow who's attention I seek...
Sitting at my computer, next to the window . . .
Hear a loud sound, like someone dismantling a wooden deck with a big hammer.
Look out and see a 10" diameter limb fall about 40 feet from a silver maple, onto my neighbors's garage, taking the power line out with it.
Clear, sunny day. No wind. No obvious provocation

Silver maple are snakey like that. Especially those big limbs that grow nearly horizontal.
You go scrounge it after the power co leaves?
Always liked CCR … Do you know what record they hold???

Mill 'em, nails be damned.
Does anyone know anyone in Kansas, around Bushton, that enjoys a courtesy beverage and has the time to go pay a manufacturer a visit to iron out a few kinks in the matrix please? I think a face to face will sort out whether a particular business is worth me dealing with or staying far away from. But I'd really like to know if any poor attitude is coming from the business owner and filtering on down through the 9 or so staff, or if the owner just has a rotten apple in the barrel and may be interested to know so they can sort their **** out. Any help appreciated.
I scrounged up a free Shinny 360 tonight , it's gonna need a piston but at least it came with 2 good Stihl chains 
I sanded it outside, but did the epoxy in the garage, as rain was predicted (and came a few hours later).
I'm pleased with the way it came out, especially considering I had to "un cup" the two outside boards.
A tip for anyone using the Ultra Clear Epoxy (I learned the hard way). Pour all of it on your wood as fast as you can.
When I was doing the legs, I made enough for both legs, did one and then tried to do the other, but the epoxy was hard already!
When you pour it on the wood table surface, you have more than twice as much time to work with it. Must be a chemical reaction when you leave it in the container.

Since no one responded to the record that CCR holds … they had the most top ten hits w/o ever having a #1!!!
A lot of times they had a great song, and for whatever reason, it just stayed at #2!

About half done splitting. 1 good day and I will be done except cleanup. Lots of boxies I'd like gone in there.
Mosquito count was insane so I made a little wet oak on coals smoke to clear em out. Works pretty good if ya don't mind the stank.
