I think it’s going to be a lazy day today. Have a little wood to split and maybe tinker on saws.
Coons? When raccoons tried to get on our back porch Mama just chased em off with a broom."2nd one this week. Been raiding the barn cats food bowl and I'm sure they would hit the sweet corn this summer so they got a ride to the state game lands 5 miles up the road.View attachment 828347

You scoredScore! My neighbor said to stop down if I wanted some wood. They have a contractor taking down some wood for them plus a few more dying trees on their property that are easy drops. Probably 2-3 plus cords of aspen plus a cord of (rare up here) red oak.
It’s nice when I can haul wood from 1/8 mile away.
Now I need to decide if I split that oak smaller for the fireplace or larger for the boiler. Feel kind of bad feeding it to the smoke dragon.
It is nice when it's that close. I'm lucky. The log yard I cut at is only 2 miles of back roads from me. I can stop every other day to see what's there.................It’s nice when I can haul wood from 1/8 mile away.

Sunny today![]()
At one point I had 5 of these, 4 of which had bad duckbills and had every bar and chain from 10-16”. I ended up selling most of them but reserved my grandpas.I have one of these, but with a 16” bar.
none of the bar configurations use standard DL count chain.
Only annoying to me because I have oodles of standard dL count chains and end up having to maintain separate ones for the Homies. But I’ve got two chains for the XL now so that should last nearly a lifetime as you don’t hit too many rocks with a top handle.Yes. When I buy chains they think I got the driver count wrong, nope.
I don’t find it annoying though.

I bought a Echo that came with a goofy 57 DL bar and chain. Ditched that setup too so I could run 56 DL like all of my other saws.
This is the most current list of Oregon retail, 'letter coding' of chains that I have (e.g. 'S56', where 'S' is the chain type, and '56' is the number of drive links).Philbert do you know the letter designation that Oregon uses for low profile skip?
