Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[svk]

Yea, when I was between marriages for 4 years I re-entered the dating seen! Not an easy task!

One of them did not want me to have any guns, and did not want me to hunt because her daughter's name was Fawn ... and she was one of the best one's I found (in other respects).

Life can be tough!

Yikes.

This gal showed promise too. She was cute, positive minded, had a career, and seemed to have her **** together…which is something that many single gals do not seem to have. But it is what it is!

Got 3 loads in this morning and when I went back into the house breakfast was done! My wife's mind reading skills are getting better.

More loads to be done before it rains today.

In the mid 20s and we have our first snow! Less than 1/2", but everything is white!

Unfortunately, it is supposed to get warmer and rain tomorrow!

MZ is currently closed, but will open on Sun for one last week. Really wish the snow would stay!

I may go out and do some scouting on public land just to see if there are any tracks. With the EHD outbreaks over the past 2 years, there are pockets that used to be real good that have nothing now! I hate hunting ghosts!

Last tank of fuel on hand so I made use of it with the 400 this morning.

 

[MustangMike]

Those 400s are nice saws, but did you ever get any of your other saws back?

 

[H-Ranch]

Slow progress, but this is my motivation to keep after it. There is still a Mt. @Cowboy254 size pile of wood to do.

Yes Mike. Thought I posted here. Got the 261 and 462 and my miter saw back. 026 and 036 stihl MIA. Jury stihl out on the 400. 8 or 9 tanks thru it. I think it would be a runner with. 325 instead of the 3/8 chain.

Farmer Steve I like your 3 point for pulling logs. Homemade? I took one off a old brush hog and beefed it up been using it for years.

Single-digit humidity readings in August or September are taken in stride here in Colorado. RH of 8% or even 4% raises your eyebrow but nothing more at that time of year. (Although given a chance, such ultra-dry air accelerates fire in the worst way.) But I’ve never experienced such a thing in December.

This is day 4 of humidity reading 1%. Even at 46 degrees, it is still 1% RH at 6:30 p.m., roughly 2 hrs past sundown. It’s f-in bizarre. Plus the temp is 60 during the day, actually 59 today. But we’ve had insects flying around—some wild hatch of flies—in late December.

We need moisture in the worst way.

Funny to hear that.

OK guys, I'm probably done for the day. Need to finish my Christmas shopping.

Merry Christmas to everyone!Not sure what the humidity is but it’s more than 1% and less than 100% lol.

My wife wasn’t sure what to get me for Christmas so I helped her outJust wanted to help out her stress level and all around the holidays,

One wheel barrow load = one gift?

Merry Christmas. May you all enjoy the satisfaction of all your families being warmed by the fire from the hard work of scrounging firewood. Hope it's a happy and relaxing time for you all.

Forget the brand but my buddy gave it to me a few years ago for hauling grain for him. I think he said around $100 at the time. Works great for moving the splitter in the wood lot. I'd like to get a little higher lift on logs but they can start swinging and bang the drawbar on the tractor if I shorten the chain to much.

Forgot to post this last weekend. Here's a pic of my wood gettin rig. I have a new axle for the trailer. My plan is to put 14" implement wheels and tires on the trailer so it pulls easier with the ATV. The trailer holds about 1/2 face cord of stacked splits. I also would like to build sides for the trailer so I can haul more wood and hang saws and tools on it.

Such a nice little workhorse tractor needs more trailer to keep it working.

Thats really cute.

Thats really cute.

Thanks, I like cute equipment. I know a 60 hp tractor can pull lots more trailer but this fits down the 8 ft trails nicely plus my atv can pull it.
