It doesn't get cold in MD? You're purdy fir North. Too clean of a storage. Must be photo shopped.
Nice flintlock, is that a lefty?Still working on the ice storm damage... I moved most of this maple tree up the hill and out of the soft muddy area today. Also finished picking up the brush. The rounds still at the bottom of the hill will need to be noodled to move them. The easily accessible trees on this family member's property never seem to have problems! I anticipate having 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cords from that one tree. After moving it to it's finial resting place, it turns out that the big oak I recently finished up yielded almost 3 cords! I'm seriously thinking about buying a log splitter tomorrow... the high fuel oil prices are driving one of my sons to supplement with a wood stove. Plus there are now two fireplaces to feed for nearly daily social fires. All of the sudden "good exercise" looks like it may kill me trying to keep up with all that!

This question puzzled me so I went back and looked at the post... Then I laughed. I grabbed up images with the word "maple" in the name and dragged and dropped them. That one happened to be named maple.jpg!
I'll post pics soon. Hope everyone is doing well, cutting safe, staying sharp, and being aware!
At first glance I thought you were going to pedal that boat with some kind of attachment!Looks like I got some catching up to do! Been in camp a week now boys! Just finally settling in. No cutt'n pics yet but a couple skiffing out pics! Im in big wood right now. Its pretty awesome! Several 60" plus on the ground. Grounds not to steep in my current strip. A few small benches, but nothing drastic. Pretty manageable and safe.
Getting ready to leave town.

Welcome to Danger Bay Afognak Island

.
My parts were supposed ahead of schedule and were arriving at the latest tonight, no box on the porch though. Maybe tomorrow, I guess.
.
. I told my wife, look mom, I found a rock, can we keep it 
. The bucket is 4' across (this is the little tractor), and the whitish part on the top by the grill is all I could see, it was about an inch out of the ground and maybe 8" around if that.
.
Sometimes, but usually not for extended periods. Lots of 20's occasional teens. Maybe it's because I don't burn until is gets below 30 for more than a couple days. I have a heat pump that does OK 30 and above with reasonable electric bills.
Reminds me of a set of rocks I came across when trenching for power. Very inconspicuous with a tiny bit showing.My parts were supposed ahead of schedule and were arriving at the latest tonight, no box on the porch though. Maybe tomorrow, I guess.
I see what you mean, at this point it's easier and quicker to pack it full, as I need to stay focused on the trailer
I'm hoping to get some angle iron welded onto the frame vertically a couple inches above the top of the frame tomorrow, but I'm not sure if the welder will reach outside that far. My buddy made a paint booth just inside the bay door, it's totally blocking the bay door from opening. So, if the extension cord doesn't reach I'm dead in the water on my plans, but I'll start getting a few more smalls done. If I do get those angles welded on, I'll be bringing the trailer home and "pressure washer blasting" the frame and then priming/painting it Thursday.
Today I got the wheel openings very close to finished(depends on how the metal goes in I guess), cut the board from the deck that was warped and sticking up, and did a bunch of tire swapping, removing, and replacing. I'm still not 100% what tires I want to use, but the tires determine how much clearance I need in the wheel well. I think I want to use the black wheels off my single axle trailer, I'll just need to buy at least one more rim. I'll finish trimming the c-channel when I have the deck off the next time as it will be easier when it's tipped on it's side, unless I'm rocking tomorrow or I can't get the welding done.

I was doing a little grading when I got home, and there was a rock that looked to be about 10-12" I wanted to pluck out because I didn't want to hit it with the lawnmower. So I started picking at it, then more, then more, then

Then there was a tree that was in my way grading(also when backing a trailer to near the bonfire pit), so...

Managed to get another bucket full, this time with cherry wood
Hope to get it all split in the morning, then I'll do some more tire swapping but on the trailers at the house.

Rocks are nonexistent here on the Eastern Shore….the only rocks I have on the farm are the property corners set by the king of England who used ship ballast.Reminds me of a set of rocks I came across when trenching for power. Very inconspicuous with a tiny bit showing.

Nice. Just need a few more and you could have a full blown trials courseReminds me of a set of rocks I came across when trenching for power. Very inconspicuous with a tiny bit showing.

.What do those look like.
They are football to softball sized rocks stacked several at each point. A surveyor had to carry them with him into what was all woods at the time. There is language in the deed about ‘king pines’ too where the king claimed all pines on the property suitable for ship building. Loblolly pines here grow 30 to 50 inches in diameter….Nice. Just need a few more and you could have a full blown trials course
I have another one out back that was showing about a 3-4' top, but only 3-4 inches out of the ground, I covered that one best I could, it must be ginormous.
What do those look like.
We are in the grand river, river valley, I've seen plenty of small car sized rocks set out in front of people's homes, businesses, or at gravel pits.
Your forgetting the "Polar vortex" we had a few years ago, and we had a unusually long burn season this past year. I don't think I'm too far from you in south eastern PA. Think we should be seeing similar winter weather temps.
These all came out of the yard.... live on top of Mt Willson... rocks everywhere ..
They look useful…there not even a rock the size of a marble here…nothing…I’ve been 20 feet deep, still nothing….
I sure wish it was like that here. I have a few that I couldn't get moved with a 310 deere in the front yard that I eneded up jack hammering down below grade and leaving them in the ground. I'll see if I can get a pic of the neighbors retention wall, all rocks that size or bigger dug out of his property.
