Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[MustangMike]

After giving the saws a little run time, I did a little work with the Fiskars

And for you Dog lovers out there, this is our Boy Linus working on a large Nylon bone:

I have a fulltimer a few houses down . He's 91 years young . Outdoor furnace and solar cells. But I noticed his split pile was getting down . Found out he had a 5 artery bypass valentines valentine's day. Dropped of a load of dry splits . Another neighbor saw me and dropped off a load after I told him what was going on . Hes an Ulster county sheriff his wife is due in may.

I scrounged a bit of firewood today and cut it over an old trailer I have, that's waiting for me to mill out a new floor for it. Here's a little of it,

This wood is so dry, if needed, I could burn it this spring yet...

Happy birthday @rarefish383!

Thanks Steve, shorts and t shirts down here. Played with the new loader most of the day. Moving split firewood from the front porch to the wood shed. I'll be well stocked next year.

Thanks to every one for the best wishes. It's kind of funny, but on my birthday I always feel a little down. I really miss Larry, Sagetown. He was the first one to send me a birthday greeting, and I had never corresponded with him before that. So, I propose a toast, Cheers to old friends.

Cheers to my old friend, highly valuable black walnut.

I actually had to go back out and get a quick pic before dark so cowboy didn't yell at me again.

Was hoping to play with some saws tomorrow, but they’re calling for rain. Ugh.

Have decided I want to cut up Gramp’s 254. Was watching some videos about “squish” using a 261 gasket, muff mod, etc. Trying to decide on weather I want to do the work, or send it to someone who knows what they’re doing.

Also hoping to snag a couple more 254s for parts, etc. I was really looking hard at chipper’s 346, but I think I like the 254 better.

Dang huskies are growing on me...

I cut/split/stacked some beautiful black walnut last summer/fall. I almost felt bad... almost.

That top tire should clean out well. Cool looking tire.

Threw a few pieces of the applewood to see if they would go.Lots of hissing, and moisture out of the one log so I told the one buyer that “needed enough wood to get through the quarantine to burn in her pit” that it was a no go.

Cut in October, split within the last 3 weeks, moisture meter read under 20 to 11%, nice cracked/split ends yet it still hissed and produced moisture?

Stihl wet inside, I imagine. Pity about that. I suppose you don't really need to worry about creosote in the firepit but the hissing is a bit annoying. Then again, if she's old she might have lost the upper frequencies in her hearing so maybe she won't notice.
