Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[chipper1]

No picture needed, I understand!

No plowing here, it will rain and warm up later. Ran that ugly 372oe yesterday and probably strongest pulling one I have owned. Helped neighbor drop a 5 dead red oak trees, fork out with his Kubota and cut into firewood lengths. He and sons can do splitting duty, now that's enjoyable, do the easy work and go home.

.
Supposed to get down to 18 here tonight, I doubt it will be warming up much up your way. Last night at midnight it was 55, this morning it was 44 and it's not going up until tomorrow morning after the low.
I've been running 40-50cc saws around the house lately, but I'll be getting some 70's out to run in a large elm log I have here.
That does sound like a nice deal, saw time with no cleanup, but nothing going to waste, win win .
You get those big ones in the yard down yet, or are they still holding on.

I will wait and see which trees leaf out close to house, several known dead ones will come down when snow is gone. Being retired has some benefits, things I don't care for is being old and not receiving a pay check. Besides that, I can take my time. Will be building a 372xt soon for something to do.

It is a cool, windy March day here.

The gasket in the boiler door is getting pretty ripped up and since the gasket cement is pretty expensive coupled with the fact that the stove is almost full of ash, I am going to burn down and do a little maintenance. Will probably clean the chimney too and then if my wood pile unthaws, I will finish up burning for the winter.

Cool. Will you use them for just the posts, or mill some for the slats/panels.
I plan on harvesting some longer(20'x6-8" or so) black locust sticks to put under my shed to move it. Then I will use some larger 10-14" to set it on with concrete patties under them at about 4". I just did some cleaning up in that area of the woods this week, but I will have to move all my junk from behind the shed to move it, then I will need to move a lot of dirt to all around it and under it. Lots of work, but it will add more somewhat level ground to the back yard and should look great when finished.

Nothing too fancy, just posts and 2x4 welded wire fencing. Just enough to keep the critters out of the garden and just enough to keep the maniac rescue-dog we brought home in the yard.

I have some to take down myself, mainly damage from the windstorm last summer, but they can wait while I scrounge off the neighbors as long as it lasts or until I clean his whole woods up.
Good thing I listed mine a bit ago .

The governor just shut down NY as of Sunday the 22nd for non essential workers . Next big rush will be on liquor stores .

Heard all Freddy and Fannie loans can get up to 12 month of payment deferrals if homeowners need.

Has anyone heard if the IRS is going to announce a deferral for tax filing?

I believe you still need to file by April 15th but if you owe you have till July 15 to pay without penalty or interest

Too bad we did not have a GTG in progress at @spike60 's place.
"Gee honey, I would like to come home, but the Governor says I have to stay here and keep playing with chainsaws for another few months or so . . . "

Can we just pay a tax and have CV go away or does that only work for climate change?

I mainly use it for tree work, hardly ever use it for skidding.
I don't usually have someone to film on jobs, but here's a couple back leaners I encouraged to go opposite of their lean.

Back to Tim's today on the locust scrounge. Last time I was down he was raging "CUT EVERYTHING". So I started then down along the road next to the house. She was due home the next day and I would have loved to have heard the doings. Per Tim "she doesn't like it" but the harvest will continue.

Today left with 3 saw, MS210. MS362, MS193T. All of them fired right up, proceedded to climb the roadside bank, very steep and high. Need to crawl up it so once up there I fell three then down and brush buck all three on the same pile. Move down the road a bit and repeat...except suddly I was down to one saw, the MS210. The 193 refused to start, the 362 blew up the sprocket. I had a spare but not the tools needed to replace. Finished cleaning up what down,l loaded and back home.

I'll fix the 362 and then play a bit with the 193 to maybe see what is wrong. If no go it will be off to the dealer.

Seems like you've had your share of break downs over there. Hope that's the end of it.
