Just a leaf Mike, you can even see the shadow of the other side of it if you look close, but it sure does look like a snake.

Throw another log on the fireThat's a great looking scrounge there my friend that should make for a good weekend of splitting!Ok, maybe you all wanted to see some scrounged wood pictures.
This load came from my buddies that I dropped the ash trees at last week, it's the second full load of 2.5 total.
I loaded this one up with the help of my kids and wife, what a great family activity. Because it was dead standing it was relatively light and easy for my wife and daughters to work with at the trailer while my son and I loaded the bucket and ran the loads to them.
After we were done with that I dropped the 4 other trees that were hanging over his neighbors shed using the winch on my tractor to make light work of it, but it still took a little rigging and planning to get the job done, but I stacked all 4 right on top of each other

We had to toss the whole load onto the ground today as I got a call from a tree guy who had another load of wood for me. Green red oak on top, dead standing ash and white oak on the bottom
Thanks VT.
.For sure I don't know how it is on that side of the state but its kind of dreary on this side I just got home from work going to work in a couple saws for some customers and relaxThanks VT.
Haven't done anything on it yet today, just not moving much, not real motivated today for some reason.
I at least need to have the trailer wood all bucked up and off the trailer, but that shouldn't take long. Just ground up a nice stihl chain for the 044 so looking forward to that, just stuck on the couch.
Like I tell my wife," I work hard, I play hard, I rest hard, don't interrupt any of them".
It's not meant to be rude, but when I'm working if you stop me for something I don't start right back up well, and so on I'm sure you get it
Surprisingly nice out. Partially cloudy sun shining and 77 degrees
.Yup Ive been in grand rapids a few times a friend went to school out that way its definitely nice out that way. This state is all backwards one day 80 the next day it's snowing.[emoji53]Surprisingly nice out. Partially cloudy sun shining and 77 degrees
Dreary can be a condition dealt with quite often here though as you already know.
The nice thing is if you get in the car and drive to the lake michigan the sun will be shining most times as the clouds form when the air changes over the land at the lake shore.
Forgot to respond to your post last night nate as I fell out after watching a movie with my wife.

That's true, since the last time it was 79 a few weeks ago it has snowed multiple times LOL.
Same here this winter/spring has been some weird weather I didn't even start my sled this year wasn't worth it.
Instead of cutting a tree down, I planted one today. A red maple in memory of my dad like the one that grew in our front yard. I used to climb as a child. Scrounge pile and splitter in the back ground just to stay on topic. Lol.
Thanks chipper, ya my Dad always liked to load everything as high as he could, no sense going to the house with half a loadForgot to respond to your post last night nate as I fell out after watching a movie with my wife.
I loved the old pictures and I also see why your truck it loaded like it is in your avatar, you've been loading like that for many yrs
I hope my kids can look back at our pictures and enjoy the time spent and the lessons learned and do the same for their kids, warms my heart.
. Very thankful for those times, learned a great deal from my Dad. Lots of good times and memories.
Rain let up so went out to cut up some more tops out of scrounge pile
Then I saw the mother load
32' long 24" across, might have to saw some boards out of that one. Sure wish dancan was here with his tractor and I had a mill.
These mt blue birds are always around when I'm cutting in this area, always amazed how bright they are.
