Saw sounds great Mike.
Your chain is dull, I think that's what I'm supposed to say because I've heard that many in my videos regardless of how sharp they are
.It actually looks to be throwing some nice big chips

Bummer, man! Had snow a few years back on June 17th. Feel your pain! Haha
tLast weekend I got a call to go see a couple of big hemlocks leaning towards a powerline .
It was down there .
Way down there lol
I'll wait for a 16 ton tree pusher to be there or have to get a climber .
Then Paul the developer calls , they're prepping to build a house 20 minutes away and has some sugar maple that needed taken care of .
I called Pioneerguy600 so off we went .
Since I took the Sorrento and Jerry the 1ton , neither of us had axe or hammer ad we had to wedge over that standing maple so ...
It was straight and round befor I started lol
35 paces one way but we ended up with a fair load

Yesterday Paul calls me , he has 2 clumps of maple just up the road
Off to the "Undisclosed" location for storage
Off to the "Undisclosed" location for storage
It was a bit greasy but I figured I had 3 choices
1- Walk the wood to the truck at about 45 paces 1 way
2- Back the truck down , walk 6 paces 1 way and then drive out with a load
3- Have to call the guy with the key for the 20 ton pusher and get pushed out
I just wasn't feeling the love for option 1 so I gambled on 2 and 3 .
There’s only a couple different switches used by Huskys over the years. If yours looks like that, it will work.
Had a productive day.
Went to the cabin this morning to grab the string trimmer. String trimmed at work then did a lot of mowing/trimming/limbing at our Lions club storage building. That lawn hadn’t been mowed for a few years so it was more like harvesting hay. Trimmed a bunch of dead branches on their lot. Could have trimmed more but saw a birds nest in one. I’ll put the ladder up there next time to see if there’s any occupants. If it’s empty I’ll take that down too. Finished the day with some burgers and a beer.

Managed to finally haul a load of wood I've had in one of the trailers for a while now.
Good thing I have an HD rig now lol.

I miss our Excursion.
Sounds like a case of noassatallPeople say gravity affects your body as you get older, I think mine is doing the opposite, butt gets smaller, belly gets bigger, time for suspenders, lol
Thanks Steve.
Seems to be working well for us this far, haven't missed a beat switching from the suburban. The best thing has been working AC
.The worse is the fuel economy. MPG is about the same as the Suburban with the AC on and a lot of idle time and a bit of feewayway driving with the trailer and the tractor and with the trailer and the mower, so I'm expecting it to be bit better once I don't need the AC and I'm mainly running state highways. Regardless its a good running ride and everything works, my dad did question the little blue oval though lol.

Xactly!!! And you don't have to believe me, just ask FS!!!
Neighbor has a tree guy cleaning up. Dropped off the maple at the property line. This is one tree. I had removed one part a month ago that was on his shed. Part of it damaged his gazebo on removal. Tree guy is going to pile more sections as he removes. I'm not supposed to lift more than 10lbs per my surgeon so I cut with my son's battery saw. Rolled rounds onto the splitter one handed.

Should be out skidding wood, drag easier in the snow and stay cleaner...
Since bicycles are on the list of topics (I actually sold a facecord for this one) I thought I'd share my classic beauty. Lol ride this bad boy to work. Yep the whole 350 yards and back in the evening. Rode about 2 1/2 miles tonight with my 14 yr old daughter. She is a soccer player and a tall slender cardio machine. Me, I'm 52 and a welder plus I enjoy the odd cigar when the wife isn't looking and a bowl of icecream. Anyway, tonight I easily out paced my daughter. This covid lockdown has really hurt the kids. I hadn't realized because I've been working steady through plus doing wood and other projects. I promise you, I'm in no better shape than I was a year ago. It hurt me to see her struggle to keep up on the hills.
