Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[dancan]

Well, it's been a beautiful winter to get out and cash in on what mother nature provides up here in Northern Mi. Hopefully, the snow will be gone in a couple weeks and I can get the splitter back in here and clean this mess up.View attachment 807121

Winter cutting is the best , no dropbears , hoop snakes , piousness ants, spiders and killer lizzards to be seen for miles

You may have missed my point, you may not be able to .

No skeeters, no leaves, no dirt, and best of all I can just tuck a couple cold "beverages" in the snow to enjoy when the chips are done flying.

Do you use the splitter just to make the logs light enough to load? My mom used to like to help, and she couldn’t help if we didn’t do that. Except for the little bit of small stuff.

I can pretty much back right into that spot with my pickup. I'll split it all right there and load it as I go.

Nice pile of sticks. Can't quite make out the saws on the stump.

Just a warning from a trusted source guys. If you need anything from the store that you were going to get at a later time it may be easier to do that sometime today .

Should I start figuring out which child to eat first .

After doing 5 Tax Returns I found a little time late in the afternoon to play with my new Twins and reduce my log pile a bit!

It was cool (30s) and windy this morning, but in the late afternoon it got very pleasant. Was good to take a break and get some fresh air!

I'm planning to mill the large Red Oak log on the left.

These showed up today. Need a little machine work then back in the mail they will go.

I did not plant these, and don't know if they are wild or domestic, but they are pretty! They are pushing up right next to my log pile.

Anyone know what the heck they are??? (one was catching wood chips)!

Looks like a crocus.

X2, Crocus, first thing up every spring in my neighbor lady's flowerbed.

Well , truth be told since it was a big sky day here and all , I enjoyed my social distancing

Jerry and I decided to work the stash at the undisclosed location to keep ahead of this Covid invasion just in case we head into an iceage for the next world crisis .

Scrounge on and stay safe my friends !

No, I'll split them into stove sized pieces right there, haul them out into the yard and stack it up outside until fall.

Yep on the crocus @MustangMike

Looks good, but for $130 I’d like to see if I can get it on sale or in the off season or clearance. My old beat up wheel barrow will have to suffice for now.

Knowing how helpful that is as well as how easy it makes moving things VS a wheelbarrow i would not hesitate to pay the price. I pile heavy rounds up in that thing a high as i can and it pulls WAY WAY easier than a wheelbarrow.

Since it's crept it's way into this thread, for whatever reason, I'm gonna throw my observation out there. I drive truck for a living, and I recently began a run that delivers to Toronto, Ontario. Some of you younger guys may not remember the mass hysteria associated with the SARS outbreak, but it was a contagious virus, quite similar to the current Coronavirus epidemic, and Toronto was pretty much the eye of the storm. The Greater Toronto Area is home to roughly 6 million people, but from what I can tell it's pretty much business as usual, no mass hysteria. What I have noticed is personal at the toll booths, customs booths and behind the cash registers wearing a simple pair of latex gloves. I keep noticing janitorial staff running around with bottles of spray cleaner and paper towels, wiping things down in high traffic areas. Also notice store employees picking up any loose trash and emptying the garbage cans before the ****'s overflowing all over the place. Simple, common sense, proactive steps will go much further than all the stupidity we've seen here. I just left my local Wal-Mart, and the bread isle is damn near empty. PERFECT time to get in there and clean those shelves, but instead you could pretty much hear the crickets chirping.
