Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[MechanicMatt]

Nice, but are you going to glass bed the action?

That’s the idea

We interrupt your regularly scheduled log pile programming to bring you this live, special report. Three loads of maple were completed mostly because the guy who got me access to the log piles had cut it down and it was cut up next to his driveway. The log piles aren't going anywhere and he wanted this out of his way. Yep, no problem.

Are you in any way related to the Energizer Bunny?

So, are you claiming a full 3 loads in your tally? You really only assisted in the harvesting of the firewood. Should be counted as only one load. After all, they weren't 3 clean kills.

Just a little southern yellow pine and sweet gum.most of this is going to the mill but all the leftovers are getting split.

A weak link.

Um.......just checking, but did you notice someone stole your passenger seat?

 

[SS396driver]

Thankfully no injury was involved.

It pretty much jammed up in the cut and at the end of Alaskan mill . Guess the chain catcher on the end works

Yeah, it was me. Driver's seat went bad, stole passenger seat, keep forgetting to order a new one and I justify it by saying "My skidder doesn't need a passenger seat."

With the days getting shorter and Cowgirl and Cowlass up galavanting in Sydney, I've been left doing all the work. Goodbye daylight hours. Hello cooking

So with rain forecast Friday/Saturday, I wanted to get the tennis court/firewood staging area organised before it gets flooded. Decided to light up the small burn pile to give me some light to split and stack by



Gave plenty of light initially but soon died down



And then I could hardly see. I suppose I'll have to wait until morning to see if my stacking has become ugly too

I did have a small incident. A drop bear heard me talking about @H-Ranch with an American accent and made an attack, thinking I was a foreigner. I was lucky and was able to chase him off with the X27, sustaining only a minor flesh wound.



Be safe out there fellers.

 

[Cowboy254]

It just popped and the saw reved up . Chain pretty much stayed in the cut

This happened to Cowdad. He had always wondered whether a chain break would whip around and get him but it just threw forward and that was that. "New chain please, sir. Not a Husky one this time".

I had to google dropbear

Do they come up to people or are they usually more afraid of ya?

Agreed

Had a pretty productive weekend. I actually got most of the front covered in tin, I just forgot to take a picture before I went in for the night. Monday into yesterday morning I focused on the man door frame/hanging the door. Man that door is heavy. It's actually leaned my door frame out of square. I had to add some reinforcements to it. Was a bit surprised as it's hung in 4" c channel. Anyway, I basically stopped covering because of a freak rain shower/I didn't have enough j trim to trim out the the entire door. I'll run and get some more today after work.

Keep the fotos coming. Now that the door is hung it is easy to see how heavy duty it is. I will hence forth be referring to your new shop as "The Vault"

You got your money's worth out of those pads!

 

[Lee192233]

I spent the last 4 days scrounging walleyes on Lake Erie. We ended up bringing 54 home. Had lots of laughs, ate great food and relaxed a bit. Now back to the grind.

 

[Lee192233]

The grind....Rebuilding the calipers, replacing rotor rings and pads. Fun stuff.
