Good morning Steve.
Took a nice walk around the neighbors property earlier under beautiful blue skies and surveyed some trees to cut. The storm that trash many trees on our property last summer also pushed many down at his place too. I ran into him at the meat market, asked him if he wanted the leaners taken down and he said take what you want. filling my woodshed for two yrs out will probably be getting put on hold, gotta get while the getting is good . Hope you can find some good ones to get too.

Drove to GR yesterday. They're trimming branches off trees along the Bluewater Hwy east of Ionia. Could have filled my truck & small trailer with 6~10" rounds bucked into 32~36 lengths in a matter of minutes on the way over. It was pretty picked over by the time I came back through mid-afternoon.
Beautiful day to cruise along the Bluewater.

Should have stopped buy, had the little 242xp out and cut a tanks worth.
If you took 21 all the way across you were a mile away from my house when you went thru Lowell.
If your through the area shoot me a PM, you're more than welcome to swing by and bring your family along or whoever is with you as well .

Have you been down I-94 lately and seen where they're clearing the right of way?

I have, near Paw Paw exit for five mile stretch east and west. Chipping tops, and the looks to be 10" and bigger trunks are in scattered piles along interstate fence line. There is hundreds of cords. Some areas look pretty wet. Makes you wonder where it is going to go. Stopping there certainly would not be allowed. Subcontracted out most likely.

I haven't made it thru that portion of 94 in a while, but they are getting a lot done on the portion near Jackson.
I travel across 96 and then the n-s expressways mostly these days, haven't been by your place in a long time, but made it as far as holland last fall.

Big sky days here. Packed away the generator till December, already have more solar than i can use (160watts of panels). Spent some time swinging the HB, seems only another 2 feet of snow then ill be at the bottom of my first row on the wood pile.
Did my part and fumigated for corona virus, working so far!

Bumping 57°F before its over here. I'll take it. My Febuary electric bill was only $77 and that was running sander and electric heater when I did that floor. Febuary usually breaks out as my highest usage around $88 average I think.

Pretty sure that’s hickory, or at least it looks like a species here in KY.

The splitter is fixed. The o-ring worked, it was a tad too small, but it’s not leaking. Will try to get the next larger size next time I’m at Rural King.

Thanks for the help gents!

Was almost outta wood at the house , the wife didn't like the way I was looking at the kitchen table so she sent me out
I found this tangle

Out cutting/splitting. I saw a bee fly by.

 

[svk]

It must have been 60 earlier as it’s still 52 degrees at 6:15.
Didn’t cut anything but had several saws out on the tailgate changing bar/chain combos.
