Yep, just using what teh vernacular was back in them days.
Hmmmm. I hadn’t heard that.
Me either, guess we're doing well.
I got ahold of the retired dentist. He stopped at my house last fall begging me for a source of locust. At that time I didn't have but one going and wasn't going to cut him in on it. He seemed rather desperate at the time. Today? Didn't seem allthat enthused asbout haveing a very good scrounge handed to him. I'll follow up with the landlord to see if he cleans it up...if not I might have to. I will put out feelers on it just in case.
No, I would refer to those as poles. I cut that load from the various tops of the trees blocking access to the ash I wanted. This is from my neighbor's wood lot that she had logged about 4 years ago. They left a tangle of tops that made it difficult to walk almost anywhere in a 5 acre space. You can see those are a little soft and I otherwise would have left them, but since I had to touch them anyway... off to the stack they go. The OWB can take up to 4' logs so a lot of stuff I leave long just to save a little handling.
Before breakfast start to the day. And now it is time to eat. Guess I don't have to worry about running the saw too early today since they are roofing already. Plenty of wood to process before I do that anyway I guess.
Grey day with a little bit of snow in the air. I’ll probably do some projects in the garage since it’s not real nice out.
Man that’s awesome Kiwi I think I’m going to build something like that this winter
Funny, every time I say something about not buying Chinese products everyone just wants to say it's how a world economy is.
Whatever, people choose what they are supporting with their $.
I know what I choose and have for many yrs, and it certainly isn't china!
Picked up chunks of pecan a couple days ago
More ready to burn today if needed. Hope we are near to the end of this season though.
Sorry, you'll have to settle for this rerun for the load of poles I didn't get a pic of.

I can remember when all the "cheap junk" came from Japan. Now, made in Japan in generally considered to be very high quality.
I have mixed feelings on the China stuff. To some extent, they keep the cost of components from spiraling out of control.
W/O Chinese parts, many saws I have fixed would not have been worth fixing. For example, a Tank Holder for an 044 was over $160 a decade ago. Outrageous!

I understand what you're saying, but I'd throw it in the trash before buying from china to fix my stuff, I try very hard not to support china in any way I can.
Had to buy a Chinese carb for the inlaws echo weed wacker, it almost killed me, same as going into a Walmart, only done that 3 times and I felt like I was selling my soul doing it. I take my beliefs much more seriously than many do, and in these troubling times I'm not holding back, but I am doing the best I can to communicate them in Love. In no way do I want to separate, but rather bring together. Hope everyone knows that any of my anti-stihl comments are in jest, I own more stihls than most stihl fanboys lol, but I won't go as far as saying they are the only way

That's a big pe can
How'd you get it on there.
Tree service loaded it with a mini-skid steer
That's awesome, what you gonna do with it now?

Japan makes alot of top tier stuff. Japan stuff is almost on the German level of quality alot of times. On everything I buy I try to not get the chinamese version.
Been isolating in my garage working on the kitchen table. Hevea or rubber wood as identified by Kiwibro. I think the walnut stain makes it highly valuable! Lol. Just have to wait now until I can put a clear over top.
