Nice mill, what saw you going to use on it?
Not sure, want to try the 576 but have heard the auto tune saws can have problems if used for milling. Will prolly use the 064 most of the time, it's kinda loud for in town use though so might have to do the milling at friends place.

I have a 576 AT also, might have to check on that. Only had about 6 tanks through it. So far I am loving it.
I know the 064 works good did some free hand milling with it a couple years ago. Ya I sure like my 576, don't think I have more than 10 tanks through it yet.
Planned to get the saws out this afternoon but that never happened.
This morning I put firring strips on the angled part of my ceiling.
This afternoon the birds fledged out of the nest so I closed things up before they try to nest again.
Cooked steaks for my parents in law then headed home.
Saw this guy and a smaller painted turtle on the way.

Well, I'm finally back, have not been able to log in for a few days. Finally fixed the problem myself with the Disk Cleanup function (with the new Windows 10 it took me a bit to learn how to do it). The damn virus protection Co tried to shake me down for a few hundred bucks to fix the problem, I will not be renewing with them. I told the guy with the Indian Accent to go fly a kite!
Got to use the Dr Al 460 on Father's Day. My Daughter's Husband's Uncle had a 30" Oak log that never got turned into fire wood like all of the smaller logs that were delivered. I offered to let him use it, but he declined. When I got done he told me that he never saw a chainsaw go through a log so fast! He was very appreciative, and I was happy to get to run a saw on Father's Day ... good all around!

Well guys it'sbeen a while. I have been quite busy as my wife just finished up the school season teaching.
We were coming back from Ohio yesterday and I got a call that I the tree company I get wood from had some excess they needed out of a site. No problem I'm on it. So I stopped by the house and got the suburban and trailer and off we went.
I have also scrounged up a few saws recently. So I bet you guys can guess what the plan is for today

Na, they are not as aggressive as Alligators, but they are kinda like a short Alligator with a shell!
I think either a Weasel or a Badger would win the award for the meanest thing on 4 legs.

I have no experience with those 3. Here's an odd one. Mink. They will go into a chicken house, kill every chicken by biting open their throats and then leave without eating any of them. Vicious little animal.
Turtles are pretty mild. Worst case they pee, hiss, and snap at you. I'd say just about any member of the (mustelidae) weasel-mink-marten-fisher-badger-otter-wolverine will make you regret a close up encounter. If you look at the prey they take down many times their own weight and the fact that a wolverine will drive grizzly bears and wolf packs from a kill, it's pretty amazing what they do given their small size. I'm told that trappers really do not like to deal with otters in a trap because despite their playful demeanor, they are absolutely hell on wheels if caught/cornered.
Sounds kinda like a wolf except its cows, elk, and deer instead of chickens.
Mink is in the Weasel family, little difference in how they behave. I totally agree with SVK's comments.
A weasel is one of the few animals in the wild that will kill just to kill, even if it is not hungry. As mentioned about the Mink, they will kill ALL the hens in the hen house, even if they only want to eat just one.
I have had opportunity to observe both Weasels (sometimes in their white winter coat) and Mink (in a stream) from tree stands. They are relentless in their pursuit of prey.

Interesting about the otter. In recent years we have a build up of the otter population. Bob cats are getting well known also. The cougars are still here but a very very small presence. I have only even found their tracks once.
An Otter is about the only animal capable of swimming into a beaver den and wiping them out. My brother and I once sat watching a Beaver Den in the Adirondacks waiting for the beaver to come out, but an otter came out instead!
And Fishers are about the only animal that will eat a porcupine. Otter & Fisher are both in the weasel family. Everything in that family seems to be a tough customer!

We don't have porcupines and I think no fishers. You guys have all the fun animals. LOL. Another revelation for me about the otter. We do have a lot of beaver (4-leggers guys, just so we stay on the current off topic) so I see conflict brewing (no, not that off topic either). LOL
A friend was trapping fox and accidentally caught a badger. This was in Wisconsin where the badger is quite revered (for some reason LOL). Anyhow the trap had a 6' chain lead and the badger had dug down into the ground to the point that it had maxed out the chain lead. When they started pulling the badger out of the hole, it finally realized it couldn't out pull a mid 200 lb guy so it turned and came out full force and he tripped backwards, luckily only inches past the reach of the chain. They finally got a forked stick and let it out and it nearly got them again before deciding it had better move along.
