idk if yer talkin to me but I will answer any way. he just keeps wanting more cut but it wouldn't be ethical to keep going down in size since it is a selection cut. sometimes it hard to balance out suiting the owner and what should be done as far as managing the stand.

Hey treeslayer, that's refreshing to hear.
It seems like sometimes loggers get a bad rap on certain jobs when really its the landowner pushing them beyond the original agreement.
A sucker hole is that sun break that appears in the midst of the rain. The suckers take off their rain gear, or go out without, not realizing that it is a temporary lull and the rain will start up again and there they are, out in it with no rain gear on. Hence, the question, "Is the rain done or are we in a sucker hole?"
evidently it was a sucker hole... Did you get soaked?
I got blowed out yesterday, got maybe enough to make a load on the ground, but then lots of branches started aiming for my noggin, and the standing trees started stretching for the big line dance...

Nope. I put on my tin pants, water resistant boots, rubber duckie rain coat and hat and tried to do some burning. It was futile, but I spent yesterday afternoon trying until I felt cold and damp. The fire never got big enough to warm up by. The wind was blowing hard, and switching direction, but the trees sheltered us fairly good and we were out away from The Snag where we would not be clobbered. The Used Dog was whining--we'd lost his tennis ball in the brush. Then it was time to pull up the chair in front of the woodstove and warm up. Today looks similar. Gloppy white stuff just made an attempt to accumulate here at 1000 feet elevation.
Nothing about the weather, but yesterday I was awaken from my nap by some TV show called Redwood Kings. Apparently it is a show about some WC twins who reclaim fallen redwoods and make funky tree-houses and art objects. Anyway on this particular show they scouted out and recovered a nice chunk of a redwood that RandyMac must have left. I say chunk as it was 12' across and not much longer. It didn't look real big until they rolled it on the lowboy. They estimated it to be at least 3500 years old. They cut a slab off of it to make a time line display for a museum. I fell back to sleep before they got to the finished product. One day, I hope to make it out west and see some of these trees. No fears, Slowp, I won't be moving up your way. Ron

Interesting weather reports here. We have a Winter Storm Warning, a Winter Storm Watch and a Flood Watch. The little pictures for the reading impaired now have the word Heavy inserted before rain. I don't know if I've seen that before. Maybe I ought to try burning again today? Oh, the ground has a light coat of white glop on it.

Apparently the wind decided a section of our fence looked better on the ground.
No wind here, unless I slept through it.

Lot of rot in that fence. I'd guess the more sustained gusts the other day got it right up to it's breaking point.

Yeah. The weather. Last week it was 66 degrees at 6:30 at night. And humid. The days are very sunny. Al Gore screwed up the planet so it doesn't rain anymore and I have to turn on the AC for awhile before going to bed. Bummer, eh?
