Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

It's up in the 40s today after a couple weeks of frigid below zero temps. It feels good to be back out cleaning up this property!

So this is how my weekend has been going.



Now I got another bent over hunk in the wedge. Glad I missed it with the saw, although I threw a chain earlier. Which took out a few of the drivers. That went on the "needs fixed" pile. After yesterday's date with the toilet, I'm starting to think I should stop before I break anything else today.

Hi guys.

Another weekend more or less blew by with appointments, sports practice, and fun but expensive breakfast on me (I lost a SB bet-which is fine cause I cannot stand the Chiefs).

Looks like it’s going to be a disappointing maple syrup season. Buckets are bone dry I’m usually on the second boil by now with a few gallons canned . If it warms up to fast the buds will pop on the trees and the season will be over

Had that a couple years ago here. I thought we weren't going to get any sap. Turns out the frost was so deep that the sap didn't start running until the ground thawed a bit. We got 3 days of good sap then it got too warm.

Do you have any box elder or silver maple trees? Could tap them a see if they run. They always run a little before the sugar maple.

Here's that Doug Fir, from the woods to the stacks..
