Since I wasn't over there and I have plenty of locust(more will be delivered whenever I get more of the neighbors trees down for him), I managed to scrounge this up.
First deal on a chainsaw I've seen in quite a while.

Long week…mostly good but not all.

Wednesday the GF and I called things off after about 3 months of dating. Honestly she’s a really great gal but schedules weren’t lining up and didn’t seem like they would in the foreseeable future. It’s too bad because besides the availability/distance, she was damn near the perfect woman. Oh well.

My son passed his drivers test yesterday. So now I’ve got two drivers in the house.

Boys start their summer jobs tomorrow morning. I’ll head over and help them get started with it. Their first job is removing shingles from a roof. Work is hard but pay is good. Amazing to think they are making roughly 5x per hour what I did when I started working as a youth.

Minimum wage when I started was $1.65/hr!

My first job with NYS, which required a 4 yr college degree and to work in NYC, started at $11,000/yr!

Talk about financial struggles! I was making over $16,000 at the moving company, which I left to take that State job, because it had a better future.

The first few years were very tough. Good thing I bought my cars and put away some money when I was at the moving company. (Had 2 68 GT Fastbacks and a 70 Boss 302 Body).

I need to make another bummer pile. About a cord of good btu's here.
And more.

That's what makes up the top layer of any cord I stack

You guys and your perfect stacks. Sheesh. There must be some anxiety with those odd ball sizes/pieces.

Weather is about to get real around here this weekend, and I'll be at our cabin in the mountains cutting a year supply of firewood in three days. But, I still have to process this big oak that crashed down during some wind last week. Scout and I did an assessment:

Then I went back with my Dolmar PS-421 and limbed it out and cleared my access trails that were blocked by them and a couple Beech and Birch limbs that were brought down by it when it fell:

[Backyard Lumberjack]

lotta wood. boss man said i could have it all! lol, or just what i wanted. and that worked out swell!~

I do that too - this is the overflow! LOL

The straight and true are used to crib the ends of rows, the mostly straight are stacked in between, the crooked knotty stuff tops off the stack, the big nasties go to the overflow, and poles have their own stack. They mostly get burned in the reverse order.

scrounges here are like steady rainfall....
