Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Haywire]

The free stove is working out nicely in the saw/sled shed. A little small but the price was right.

I am still chuckling about this View attachment 1241484

I have no problem with this…
But, Mexico should demand equal press and rename The Gulf of California since it only has Mexican coastline. No?

I only spent 45 minutes in the woods today after 4pm. I dropped a 16" Ash and bucked it up. Then I dropped a 11" and a 20" Ash. Something in the 20" snapped a tooth off my chain and dulled down quite a few others. They can wait for another day to get bucked up.

Just a heads up for dewalt tool owners. Lowes is having a buy certain bare dewalt tools get a fee 6 or 8 amp hour battery with it. I was going to get one of those oscillating cutters, something I've been meaning to get for a while. Guy at lowes said it was on promotional sale, but they didn't have the batteries in stock, so I just ordered it online and chose ship to home.(free shipping.)
Which is a great deal, since the battery is $199.99 by itself. Should have it wednesday or Thursday. View attachment 1240885

I just bought a chinee 6 amp battery on fleabay for $17. bought a couple 18v nicads a couple months ago. May need a new drill. One of my 18v ones smoked today with tapcon bit (no hammer). Good to know. Thanks. Will see if the drill is alive tomorrow...

Want one? I got one in a box

That new little husky is so strong and light, I’ll probably never touch this CP55 again
You want it, pm me an address

Once upon a time, it wore a pipe and was a mean little 3cube saw

Had to be 15 years ago now…..

Nah, but thanks.
I've had a few, I prefer the 3 series and newer. Even sold my little ported 242xp not terribly long ago.
I've probably got at least five 50cc saws, should be okay for a bit .

Been working 100 miles from home in houses with no juice. Need batteries! I fired up the generator today for 6 3" tapcons in concrete. THis stuff has river rock, not limestone, Those little rocks are hard, even with 120V hammer drill.

I see your new cylinder is on its way Sean.
Not sure what the cycle time will be, but the ram shouldn't bend again lol.

Griz I’m just fine with low snow totals!!!

And don’t you know, Uncle Mike walked to school too

UPHILL both ways

Actually, other than 8th grade (when I walked to the school nearby), we always got on the bus. But back then, a bus driver was "REQUIRED" to be able to put chains on his bus, and like Griz says, they did not cancel school often. When the did, me, your Dad and Tommy R always went around making a few bucks snow shoveling.

We usually got $2 or $3 for each driveway and the walkways. That was the total that we got, that we split up.
