The lake effect machine is working and dumping snow on us. Now it's time to enjoy the heat from my scrounges and one of my other hobbies helped out by firewood sales.
About 4" of fluffy stuff overnight. Going to snow lightly for another hour then start up again later.
only about2"+ of the white joy here and still coming down. it would be nice to see another 4" for riding tho but not for wood cutting! real cold is at the back door an heading east for you Atlantic members....
Thanks for sending that our way,16 here this morning and snow tonight.
Just a white powder on every thing, glad I brought up a load of bone dry Oak lap wood. I went down in the woods for a hand full of kindling yesterday and wound up cutting about a 1/4 of a cord of dead limbs about the size of my arms, Joe.
NA, congrats on your score, always nice to put some venison in the freezer, and nice to see that FS helped ya out! I will try to get out again for the 12 - 20th, it will be MZ season, and I can take another if I get lucky. Also, have a new place I can hunt, have not been there before, but can not use the gun there, so the cross bow may get an opportunity.
They are predicting 1 - 3" of white stuff going into tomorrow, but then rain on Monday ??? will see how it goes.

Thanks Mike! It was a long shot. I'm glad I was able to put some meat in the freezer. It took a lot of help from FS but we got it done. Congrats on getting a new huntin spot hope there is plenty of deer there for you. Good luck with the MZ season. My wifes uncle has been on me the last few years to hunt with him in NJ. I am in a position this year to purchase the Non-Res NJ license so I will be out some time after the new year during there winter bow season. Might get luck and put another in the freezer. Maybe not. It will still be good to get out and visit family.
I used to visit my Aunt & Uncle on the farm every year for a 4 day WE around Election Day. Visit relatives, bow hunt for deer, and eat my Aunt's great home made soup after coming back in out of the cold! They are both gone now, but I cherish the memories.
Got my first "deer with a bow" up there, and it is the largest deer I ever got, unfortunately, one antler was broken off. That was back in the early 1980s. Put the deer on top of my 1980 Pinto Station Wagon, and got a million "thumbs up" from the construction sites I drove through (a 3 hr drive home). It was great!

Everyone over there thinks drop bears are a hoax until they come over here and one lands on them
.
I'll put a Jack-a-lope up against a Drop Bear any day. A Jack-a-lope is faster, Joe.

Just the other day I was passed on the interstate by a Chrysler LeBaron with a nice sized buck ratchet strapped to the top of the trunk. Guy musta been doing about 80 mph. Quite the aesthetic.
I have 5 saws loaded up to go to the cabin. 2 need minor tuning, 2 need more breaking in, and one is going to do a for sale demo video.
Since I only have two or three trees I need to cut I may end up doing a lot of cookies.

I procured a Christmas tree today, from a lot. However the trunk needed a trim up a few inches so it would fit in the house. Plus a few limbs. I resisted the urge to fire up the 460 and make a video event out of it. Lol. But rather used the muffler modded craftsman, a) because it was the right tool for the job. And b) because I love the sound it makes at idle. Either way I got to run a saw for one brief shining moment.
I thought of using the electric one on tree but since I just happened to have the 241 in my hands ....
Busy day , got a ton of scrounged up wood moved out of my plow lane down the back yard to get ready for a bit of snow one the way tomorrow , got the new chains fitted on the Yanmar and put the forks away and got the bucket on .
You guys remember when I showed you a Tirfor for a firewood scrounging tool ?
Well , it has more uses than firewood lol
Hard to tell from the pic but it's a steep slope when you're on it sideways .

And the antler swing causes more damage than the little teeth on the drop bear
