I'll take the Fiskars, just to have an extra!

Planning on going to the cabin on Monday, hoping the Blackberries will be ripe by then!

My blackberries are just starting, should be a good year.

Finally got all my current noodling done. Give it a few days to dry some and get lighter on weight then stack until splitting next year for winter of 2021.

Well , it's been hot up here in Igloo , my weekends have been busy and I've not had time to hit the woods
The developer has been busy but not on his lots so no 'mergency "How's Danny today ?" phone calls , well , except today .
It was a from an unexpected caller , Jeff , a friend that has his own treeco called me to see if I could give him a hand on a project that he took .
Soooooo ,,,

We have a 600m by 500m strip to clear
Spruce , tamarack but mostly not Spruce
Ash , white oak , maple will be the bulk
I get all the hardwood and delivered for my contribution plus fuel and a stipend for my equipment
Hey Nate !!!

If time allows I'll run it to see how it works
Hey Kiwi !!!

Vegan and gluten free bar lube
It's all he's used for the past 10 years , has't found a prob yet .

We even have a stump grinder to get rig of troublesome stumps Lol
I have to admit , this part hurt a a ton

So sad

Is that a 262 Dancan? Did you get to play with it and compare to your Ryobi?

Was thinking the same thing. My fiskars axe gets 90% of the splitting work. An extra wouldn't hurt.

After hauling all that big oak I’m very happy with that Badlands 12000 winch, really saved my back. I have to admit I haven’t done any logs yet but I don’t foresee a problem, those biggest rounds were 42” dia and 20” wide. Reason I said all this is that HF has the winch on sale for $299.

@farmer steve, how far is Gettysburg from your place? If not real bad I may have to swing thru G’burg on the way home for a Reuben and a pint.

Dry fitting drawers but likely to get too cold tonight so will hold off gluing until it's warmer. Winter finally arrived here, snow to sea level in many places. The usual parade of fools who can't drive, breathless reporters warning of the apocalyptic weather bomb, etc, etc.

We're in for a bit of winter action too, Kiwi. Possibly up to a metre of snow on the mountains across the valley from our place.

Lotsa brownie points for all the firewood that has been scrounged in past.

Stihl got 60 odd cubes left, should make it through the next week ok.

I'll run them both today , let you know tonight .

 

[MustangMike]

James, if for any reason I can't make the shin dig, you take it.

Dan, also looks like a 362 C you have there. Despite the fact that they get no respect, I really like mine. Also, that should be more comparable to a 262, as they are both 60 cc saws.

My blackberries are just starting, should be a good year.

My wife just changed the day from Mon to Tue, just as well! The berries ripen a bit later up on the Mountain.

Yea, should bee a good year, saw lots of green ones when I went up in Mid July.

For those who don't know, not only are wild Black Berries large and juicy (compared to most other wild berries), but they are also very healthy for you, right up there with Blueberries!

Unfortunately, no wild Blueberries on my property, but luckily tons of Black Berries along all the old logging trails.
