I feel pretty good, Matt. I dropped and limbed 16 good sized beech and sugar maple today, plus stacked all the brush, so I must be doing something right.

You certainly are doing good!
I haven't cut anything but grass, weeds and hay for more than half a year now.
I'd rather being working wood, trying to figger out how to accomplish this, it would require a major restructuring of where I live and what I do for a living.

Cutting hay zog? My farmer buddy asked me if I was up for loading the elevator next weekend.
Matt, when are we cutting wood??? Sounds like some nice toys you are acquiring.
Clint, sounds like you are doing just great!
You will have to start the New England Health Spa and charge people to come up and cut & split trees, limb em and drag the brush away!

It has been depressing for me last two weeks. I injured my chest when pull starting an ATV. It started midway through pull and so the ret of the pull was fast. I was lined up wrong and basically punch myself right in the ribs. Can't really lift much with right side and just letting it heal. i tried to split the other night and couldn't lift the rounds without hurting so I am just resting. I need to get more split. My big pile has given rabbits and voles cover. Now they are getting in my garden.

Ouch! Hope you heal up quick, bud. I dropped a split on my toe a couple weeks ago and just finally stopped limping. It's still a little sore, but I'm supposed to play in a golf tourney tomorrow, so we'll see how it holds up. Aleve keeps the pain down to where I barely notice it anymore.
I'd rather load the elevator than be in the mow.

Got my log table mostly done. One more bar to weld up and it will be complete. I put one log across the wedge tonight and it worked like a champ.
Not sure what species but this little bird scrounged up some birch bark and noodles from one of my cutting sites to build their nest.

Correct on tomato, tree is a mulberry
edit: I was wrong on the tomato, it is a beefmaster, went and rechecked.
I have a variety here. Since the greenhouse blew apart and no new skin from the owner, I buy my plants from a farm store, plus go dumpster diving there and get ones they have thrown out. About half or so I get them back in good shape, then into the ground.
I haven't done tomatoes in a few years but when I did, I would pick out the tiniest plants they had. They would always grow up to be the largest plant I had. I can only assume that the smaller plants assimilated to the larger pot sooner.

I was room mates with a co worker once long time ago, had a little duplex we rented in town, in Atlanta. Anyway, we had this little ten foot back yard. One day he goes, I want to grow a tomato! I said, well, we have some in the fridge, pick one out, cut it, get a few seeds and try them. He did, one sprouted well, we planted it. AMAZING that sucker got as big as a Christmas tree, didn't need any staking, the main stem was strong as a sapling! Lots of tomatoes. All it got was some spaghetti pots of water every day and a little raked up lawn from the mower guys for mulch around it, and some coffee grounds, etc. To this day I wish I knew what seeds those were. He saved some then lost them during a move.
No tomatoes in there LOL
You're a busy man Dan
