Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Philbert]

8:33 rain started. I’m dripping wet already so I may as well finish the tank of fuel anyhow.

So, now you have time to sharpen all those chains!

Ok, you can have the CSM next; you've been around here longer.
Can I borrow your bandmill when you buy it? I promise I'll only keep it a year or two .

P.S. I try not to be a comedian; no one gets my humor.

Guess I'm gonna need a deposit if you still want to borrow "my" bandmill - he's asking around $7k which is more than I am willing to spend as a casual user. Oh well, looks like more firewood and less projects.

Went fishing with a friend this morning. Last week I cut up a storm blown maple and poplar for him. He thought he should split it for me for all the work I did for him. Lol! His neighbor was there this morning when we came off the lake. He had a 3pt hitch splitter on a kioti tractor. So we split all my wood. This load and another half load, mostly sugar maple. Then went and split all his firepit poplar. Went quick with 3 of us working. Got home and my son helped me start another round stack.

Well the wind got real nasty here for a while but has calmed. Rain to drizzle for the last 5 hours.

Doing some organizing in the cabin. Had to wash a whole sink full of pots/pans/lids that were in the shelves because they were pretty dusty. Good way to pass a rainy day I guess.

I always chuckle , when I look in the truck bed and the Huskies are taking a nap. All the wood cutting must make them tired.

The Huskys sit on the porch while the J-Reds go to work!

Tech question????

I believe this is an Elm tree and I was hoping someone could confirm this for me?

Also if it is an Elm how does it act on the hinge? I haven't cut any before and I would like to know if it has strong or weak hinge wood. That will help me decide the best way to get it on the ground....

Thanks in advance

Tried to find in account settings where to delete my membership. Can't find it so as this was the thread that sparked up the hall monitors to delete my post they should take extra pride in telling the site admin I want to drop my membership as I can't find the button to do so myself. To the good buggers on here, cheers. To the rest, kiss my ass.

Cheers (Hope I'm a good bugger, Lol) also hope you stick around!

I’m really confused by this, is someone f-ing with you on here? You’ve always been in good standing as far as I’m concerned.

Been cleaning/organizing all day.

Cleaned off the “saw operating table” and found a couple pieces that went missing last fall. Aw shucks I guess I’ll have spares for next time.

I have a small bucket of parts like that.

Nice stack. How do you guys get your rounds exactly the same length?

Either a scratch stick, or using a Sharpie mark on your bar.

I would imagine it was the post about the investigative reporter & illegals that got someone’s hackles up. It was probably deemed too political & offensive. BUT I don’t know & that’s just a guess

 

[MustangMike]

Stick around just to piss them off, and we like having you here, so why disappoint us? I got to read your post!

This was today's score off Facebook marketplace. (The long limbs) 2 small truckloads, mostly oak.
