More weird weather. Gone from -10C and Blizzard, all roads closed to -4C. Driveway is a sheet of ice. Spread a bucket of stove ash on it so I don't fall and break a hip!

If it were me I'd he dragging the splitter there then
.Some of that beech is very hard.
Go cut a cookie off and you should know pretty quick.
Guess I didn't hit "post reply", yesterday I think lol.
Heat wave on this side of the big puddle, we hit 48 today.
I'll probable get a chance to work on the barn metal tomorrow since the snow on the roof is melting now(half the roof is cleared). It melted last week for a bit too, but I was busy on a tree job making the most of the mild weather, then we got another 4" that is now nearly gone.
We have been cold and windy the last few days, never above freezing.
Mustang got caught in a non-predicted snow squall on Sat morning a bit North of here, glad I have Bizzack's on it, but the anti-locks still chattered like crazy when I tried to stop on a slight downhill. Must have been ice under the snow.

A local shop rebuilt it. They where the only name that came up when I started asking around. They built transmissions for competition 7.3 pulling trucks for years with great success and the local OBS collector has 4 of his transmissions and said he wouldn't let anyone else build for him.
My transmission has a billet triple disc converter, GPZ clutches, full spline front hub and the rest of the hard parts are OEM. Full transgo tugger kit and a 6 liter transmission cooler which is 25 row compared to the stock 7.3 cooler which is only 7.
$3,100 total they pulled it, rebuilt, and reinstalled.
Oh, you mean like this one I posted last year?

If I put a saw to it I'll feel obligated to take it all. I won't ask to cut on someone's property and then walk away if I find out it's not what I think it is. It's why I normally stick to the woods I know from looking at them.If it were me I'd he dragging the splitter there then

I will go in today and ask if anyone knows anything about it.
I feel the same way. I have started lately to ask if there are any “firewood “ trees available then explain what I mean. My folks have no idea that some trees aren’t worth it for what ever reason. Explaining it up front clears that up.
The deal I usually reach on any given tree is I will take anything firewood size and neatly pile the brush for burning later , then cut the stump close to the ground. So far every person has felt that was quite reasonable with the one exception who expected me to haul off the brush AND have the stumps ground!! I wished him luck and moved on.
Morning guys. House cleaning day today. Another windy and cool day with snow coming later. The weather idiots were originally forecasting a foot plus for this area now they’ve moved the major storm south of us. We shall see.
That was a intense snow squall that came thru I wasnt driving but my truck was outside as I took it out Friday to wash it
I could see the driveway just a few minutes prior. Got about an inch and a half in one swoop

Its a statutory holiday, family day, here in the people's republic of Ontario. So I got up and my daughter helped me cook bacon and french toast for the family. Then I got a workout in at the firewood gym. Carried about half a facecord up next to the door. Burned about 4.5 facecord or 1.5 full cord so far this winter. Got a chicken in the oven and the mother in law is coming with homemade biscuits. Life is good.

I had a tree service tell a homeowner I would take all the wood and brush away once. The lady got upset with me when I told her no. I asked to see the contract and it specifically said they remove all the wood and brush. She called them and told them if they didnt finish the job she would report them. That's the last time I heard from those guys. Some people really think your stupid.
Moving some of the tops of the big oak that took down my electric last week. Added a little bling to my home built arch:

Better pictures of the bark on the big log. Most of it is peeling off so it's been dead or down for awhile.
No, that’s a bad photoshop.
