Nice break in the heat this weekend. Did some splitting today and plan for more tomorrow as we have mid 70’s tomorrow.

Finally some cool summer days

Got some new kicks to handle the mud a bit better for scrounging. Went 2” wider and about 1” taller.

Can't wait to see it all muddy :rock:.
 
Unexpected rain overnight here. Work all day and a meeting tonight so not a huge deal but I’m glad I put most everything away last night.

The weather is looking to be very mild this weekend. I’m hoping to get my “wood for others” wrapped up for the year and then can focus on my own scrounging from here on out.
 
Slow recovery still improving. Made 3.5 hours yesterday cutting brush and bucking some ofa big willow. Not so good today, onlyi made 3 hours at Jims. Quit with one pole left to be pulled up out of the ravine. Would have taken about 20 minutes to re-rig the cabling, pull, buck and load but I just didn't have that left. Recovery after working is going much faster tho, time I get home I'm ready to do something again...yeah, riiiightt.

I gotta get to the split/stack task. I have about 5 cord willow rounds to process. Maybe start that tomorrow after I unload the small load of locust poles I brought home today.

I didn't finish splitting today. I did get 4 wheelbarrow loads split and stacked FWIW!
That's split and stacked inside now. Was 3 good wheelbarrow loads. Pushed the splitter inside for now.

Mail came got a couple Stihl RS 33 .050 84 chains. I also have the Archer that came with the new bar and a couple used Archer from when I had a 24" 359 Husky.

Got a few 20" Oregon chains coming from Dsell yet. Should be all set for cutting. Most of what's ready is small stuff. So I'll get some time on the 261 soon.
