Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Logger nate]

I like to start my humbolt by bore cutting at the top and cut down, much easier to control the saw that way. I dunno if that is an approved or even a safe way to do it though.

Thanks, I actually forgot about that method. I’ve done that before and it was a little harder for me to match my cuts up, might have to try it again though.

@Logger nate Your pics make me want to move in a heartbeat but by mistake awhile back I showed my wife a couple of your snow pics. Ain’t no way now.

Lol, we don’t get much snow..

About 8 miles from the cabin I hear WHAM under my fender. WTH. Didn’t see anything in the road.

Made it another ten miles and tire was flat. Sheriff stopped to make sure I was ok and talked to him while I changed the tire. Very obvious puncture in the tread and a circle around it. No idea what I hit.

Luckily I kept my tire in the box and not buried in wood!

Hey, nothing is loonier that what is going on over here. A Country that became the envy of the world through Capitalism, and most of the current candidates want Socialism!!!

And widespread homelessness and violence in some of the once greatest/richest Cities in the world.

Seems like Civilization is in reverse … hope it does not continue for too long, but I'm not real optimistic!

Like watching the movie idiocracy in real life.

Seems like you've had your fair share of tire work lately.

Did you see on the news where around Big Lake/Monticello someone was appearently tossing dry wall screws all around the area roads?

I did not see that, that’s sickening!

I’ve had more tire issues in the past year than ever! I think I blew three of the tires that came on the wood hauler when I bought it (they were older tires with low miles), several more flats on it, at least two flats on my wife’s suburban, and that punctured tire on the trailer!!! And not a function of just picking up rocks, had a couple nails and a couple of valve stem failures too.

Local tire dealer? Window dealers just pass out bb guns.

Hmm could be. I have known at least 1 locksmith who gave kids a few bucks and several tubes of superglue in slow times. Well more like when he lost 1 too many card games.

Well , my friend's patio is now out of any tree's range and more firewood for me

But ,,,

The high winds and brushfires are heading right towards me , ffs .

Here’s the puncture. Not sure what it was but clearly was circular with a center stud and wailed off my floorboards with authority.

Well we made the hour and 40 minute trip over to the Lost 40. Pretty neat to walk through virgin timber just like the pioneers did. Big white and Norway pine. I’d seen big white pine sporadically over the state but these were larger and more plentiful. The Norway pine were much larger than I’ve seen, looked more like the big pines that grow out west.

Met a tree guy the other day at work. He came in looking for fuel line for his basket case 200T he just acquired. Told him I take free wood, and he said come over with a trailer. 2 reasonable loads with my buddies truck and 16' dump trailer later, I've got wood! Looks to be norway maple on the right, and mostly ash with some kind of ornamental cherry (I'm guessing) on the left.
There is a little raw oak flooring in there I took as well. Should burn great!

No angry ex boyfriend trying to punctures tires of the dudes going over to his ex GF's house.

Cap nail or a snowmobile stud.

I’ll keep an eye out or I’ll probably hit the ****ing thing again. I know the general area where it bounced off my floorboards.

If you look closely you can see my neighbor Larry's 1991 Dodge Caravan in the background. It's pretty clean!

My buddy had an older caravan, there were a couple spinny things I think on the roof in the front that he didn't know what they did, I couldn't leave it alone, iirc they opened the rear side windows. That was a long time ago.
