Don't know if you guys can read this but were about to get swamped. 2 weeks ago we were down to 4 days a week. Won't be surprised if we go mandatory 6 or 7 days soon.

Guess that can be taken as good or bad right.
PS; I think that letter is a fake, look at the signature, looks more like Blair than Chris .

I'd be more then willing to trade the 355t for a 361 rear handle. The rear handle has a better flowing intake with a cat muffler. 355t has an empty can for a muffler and choked up intake. I'd have to buy a 355 muffler for the 361 if I got one.

Heck yeah. I'd like to run one of those myself, but I certainly cant justify buying one, so I guess I'd just need to splurge on it lol.

wow! another face cord of heating wood... 100.00 better then collecting federal welfare, using sweat equity making my way in the day... perhaps this is a better outlook to the future of a subsiding covid19?, and people feeling better with spring in the air! best health to all!...

Half a quad trailer load of wood done and 4 buckets of sticks and root balls on the bonfire . Break time, and then the 200 rear handle gets a bit of run time after I run the splitter for a while .

I'm torn on a shutdown in this state. I could get a lot done in two weeks with no work to worry about. Our business has pretty much shut down anyways. I think it depends on if we keep the curve low but the metro areas are goofy. Everybody still out screwing around. Had to go to the pharmacy and the amount of people at Home Depot and Menards was nuts.

I am a firm believer that this virus has been around for awhile. Have a had a few employees that got a "viral" infection this winter with the same symptoms but tested negative for influenza. My mom got sick in January and spent 3 weeks in the hospital with all the indicators. I called her Dr. and they did not test for it. It was a weird sickness as it turned into pneumonia rather quickly. Doc doesn't want to speculate but clearly thinks that it is a possibility.

Parts should be in for my elevator conversation by Friday so hopefully get that up and rolling by Monday.

We're on a shutdown and it doesn't appear that it has had any affect on Craigslist postings. Pretty hard to convince me anyone listing their old couch is doing it as necessary to sustain or protect life. I have not been out (2nd day of three week shutdown) but I understand a lot of businesses qualify as "essential" including Cabela's since they sell water purification systems and generators. People are going to continue to do whatever they want to regardless of the shutdown status apparently.

Locals around country have set up check points with blessing of local mayors. The police aren't officially endorsing it but haven't explicitly prohibited it either. I can't find "vigilante road blocks" in the govt list of essential businessess.

Sounds like the movie, After Armageddon. Great History Channel docudrama. Don't watch if you are the nervous type.

Busted up the last of my stock piled rounds. Just about waited too long the poplar was slimy.

This may count as a scrounge ,a piece of aged oak I set aside . I posted it when I epoxied it wasn't happy with the result so I sanded it all off and did something my high school wood shop teacher showed me. Rub a hard piece of wood against the project you shine it up without darkening it . I used a handle from a 15 cent brush worked great

I'm glad you do. And all the others working the front lines.

A neighbor called me to tell me he had a tree down and wanted to know if I wanted it. Bark looks a little like hackberry but the heart wood doesn't lookright. Elm maybe?? Any ideas???

Definitely Hackberry. The pulp wood is similar to Cottonwood. The bark is a dead give away. I have several of these trees in my wooded lot.

Thanks!! That's what I thought. It'll be good enough for garage heating wood.

Dug into the pile of Mulberry and Bradford Pear today and got a pickup load. I get the trunks tomorrow.

A quick look at the log yard I cut at. Lot of White Oak. I won't be able to get to it all before he burns it. Plus I don't need it all since I don't sell firewood. To much competition.

Nothing but rain here in Philadelphia. 0.3” total for the whole winter.

We got 3" yesterday and others got 6" to the south of us.

This was the situation in the AM, now its all gone here.
Glad I covered the wood pile last night and put the quad away.
