Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[svk]

Got a lot of little projects done after we wrapped up wood cutting. Made some headway in the garage too.

Finally finished a project that I’ve been wanting to do for 30 years-build a barred owl nesting box. I actually finished two of them today. I’m going to have to put flashing around the trees I mount them on as a coon would take that over for sure.

Here’s one with a wood duck house for reference.

Matt, I add 10 lbs every winter, then take it off the rest of the year. When I used to bike more I would drop 15 lbs, but then all of you would say my face looks too thin … so make up your darn minds!!!

Hey, I'm over 6'1" and under 195 lbs, so I'm not doing too bad. Plus, I did hike up that bas A$$ hill right after Tax Season, ask your cousin about it, it a good one.

Let me know when you need me to come over with a few saws.

The ethanol free I run is 93(iirc), but if they had 89 I'd run it even in my ported saws without worry.

That does sound nasty . I had a 254 one time they guy ran dirty motor oil thru for bar oil , it was disgusting to say the least, especially coming from a guy who doesn't like to get dirty.

I get it for sure, gotta do what works for you .
The smell of maxima is quite pleasant , Klotz is great and smells great too.
Maybe you could get some of these for the house . Or you could spend the money on the real thing.

LMBO!! I'm not sure what I'd want more, a Klotz candle, or a Hoppe's #9! LOL

That's funny.
My kids come down in the basement and like the smell, that's where all my saws are lol.

I’m having trouble remembering too. It’s kinda vague, but here’s what came to mind.

1. Virginia scented candle.
2. Fish market scented candle.

see, everyone. That's what you all should be doing with some of 'em.

Can’t tell in the pic, but that looks like my Buckinham double D ring belt. Do you have leg straps. I never used leg straps, but if I were to ever climb again, I’d get them. I was hanging up side down once, and my butt slid right through my saddle and left me hanging by my knees. A little upsetting at the time.

Yeah think it is the Buckingham double D, not positive but think my spurs are same as what you had too. Got them used from a friend I did tree removals with in Alaska.
Yeah that would be a little upsetting, , lol.

That is one cool looking splitter.

Sorry for not seeing your post earlier. Thanks. It's been one of my best machinery purchases. Some think it's a toy. Most people here in NZ have never seen a kinetic before. It has won quite a few bets over the years with the ignint types that can be convince to put their money where their mouths are. Quality, USA-made machinery that's worth every cent. I lost count at about 500 cords through it over the years. Such a neat machine. Not without a few areas for improvement but it's rock solid, productive and so incredibly cheap to run/maintain. That pile of splits used about 2/3 of a tank of gas on the wee 6hp (I think, might be 6.5) engine. Maybe even less.

Well I’m definitely feeling it this morning. My lower back is pretty sore and my forearms, hands, and neck can feel it too. It’s not like cutting small trees is that hard of work but I suppose the bending over to do the cutting is what gets you. Plus every cut is a flush cut stump when you are trying to do a clean cutting job.

Just me and the wildlife in my woods this morning. Hope it stays that way and I don't have to put up any "No Parking" signs. LOL
Ash a little past it's prime, but OWB don't care.

Happy Birthday Matt!!! Yea, it is a rainy day today, but yesterday was beautiful!

So yesterday, as my Daughter and I are going into the woods from the parking lot, a Subaru pulls in, yep, 2 women in it … you guys are so bad!!!!

Yesterday I get home from hiking and there are 3 saws by my garage door. They are my brother's. I figure they need chain sharpening, but I call him anyway.

He has not run them in a long time, and the 241 won't start and the 460 and Asian 660 both started but would not stay running! Don't I wish Matt lived closer!

The day before my Tree guy dropped off 3 saws I still have not touched, a 440 and 2 460s. Somehow, they got the brake band to pop out on one of them, another has a loose muffler (the inside bolts), and the third the on/off switch does not work.

So now I've got 6 saws in my garage I have no room for, heck I don't have enough room for mine!
