Split it and sell it for cooking wood

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.

When I worked in the power sports industry, Suzuki made the best outboards and Yamaha made the best snowmobiles. Best street bikes were obviously Japanese as well. Certainly some of the American and German stuff was good but the Japanese stuff was built much better.

Yes absolutely

Turned out to be a great day!

Got a multitude of small projects done around the yard and a couple of good meals too. I’m just going to do a batch upload of pics cause it’s PIA to label them with this new ****** format.

Breakfast scroungers. The first fox sparrows, song sparrows, and pine siskins of the season showed up today. Plus grackles, red winged blackbirds, blue jays, chickadees, nuthatches, juncos, and finches.

We're a bit further East of Sydney. By traditional (which perhaps is changing nowadays) drinking standards, most Aussies will drink us Kiwis under the table.

Or fall over trying .

Birdhouse building:

House swallow top, chickadee/wren bottom.

Second pic is a partially completed barred owl house with a wood duck house for comparison.

My son is making progress on organizing the bolt collection!

I was running short of drill bits so I went through some of my grandpas drill boxes and found several years worth of bits.

I'm hungry for some reason.

Feeding my buddy

Dinner of ribeye Benedict. Next time I make this I’ll throw sautéed asparagus in too.

What’s left of last years woodpile plus the start of this year’s scrounge.

We cut a hole in the ice for sauna cool down. It hit the spot. The ice is really poor quality, it shattered when the block tipped over.

And finally popcorn in cast iron plus a few beers.



Again I apologize for putting up multiple posts but it’s almost impossible to edit photos on my mobile with the new forum layout.

Looks like mulberry Maud. You'll know for sure after it's split for a while and the exposed area's turn rusty brown. Locust will stay yellow.

Thanks brother. It dries brown, so mulberry it is.

1 tree's worth. Nice dead red oak. Had the 150 packed.View attachment 816900View attachment 816901

Nice load of oak.
I have some dead oak laying at the bottom of a hill that I bucked up late last year. It was partially flooded, so I’m hoping it’s still OK. Planning to go split it up once the ground dries up a bit more.

I looked it up, it’s almost 5,500 lbs.

Im surprised how much you guys do with those little tractors.

I love my “little” Ford. I mostly use it for hay, but I’ve dragged and yanked a bunch of trees with it. She’s got some grunt.

Hoping to get a 5030 with front wheel assist and a loader in the near future.
