got another check from the mill today... about 2/3 what I figured it should be... I know the scalers are heartless bastards but come on every log 1-3" smaller than I measured really...

anyone ever fight the mill and win?

No. You might win a couple of battles but you'll lose the war.

Fight a mill and win? no cant win, but you can high grade 1/3 avr.% needed and unneeded goods from the mill when your paid scale drops below the true scale MBFT math figured :) and yes most scalers are just A$$'s
 
End of a bad day. We would have been out of the snow and home by two. We didn't even leave the hill till 5.

This is the new/er yarder that replaced the tipped over twice and rolled down the hill, now scrap iron yarder.

Good news is, road crew fixed the road and we will be moving iron all day tomorrow. New job is up Finley Cumberland. Off of hwy 20
 
Well got stuff stolen today off the landing. Got sent out into the rigging for half a day then sent to fall and de-rig a tail tree. Soaking wet and have jello legs. Big jump from landing to rigging then back end work.
 
Yall must be some happy folks on here. Not a whole lot of whining in the past 2 weeks. Good thing is, finger healed up pretty good. Aint going to have a nail at all. Kind of strange to type, roll a screw driver or use the end of the finger. Its still kind of half numb right now. Back to work for me. No more recliner and drinking beer for me.
 
OK, here's my whine...

It has been so warm and humid that the moisture is seeping up through the concrete in the shop floor. It is an unpleasant place when that happens. I'll have to go out and do some chain filing if I cut any firewood this week, or kill some of the encroaching rain forest.
 
First really nice day here in PNW and I have to go and take pictures at a Cemetery which will take about 4 hours then work on those pictures for a few hours. I could be up cutting wood or working on the 044
 
Being ill again! Another week in bed, must be a month I've lost to illness this year so far. Maybe I should see a doctor. . .

You do that, mate, does not sound like normal to me. My experience is, the cutters are usually pretty much immune to any infections. Insanity and alcoholism are endogenous.

Yeah it didn't use to be normal pre wife and kids and all their germs! Course in those days it was the alcohol and insanity that kept me going ;)
 
I've been soaking my eyes whole evening. Cut today a set of large Spruces standing in the open attracting lightnings - several of them had hit marks and had formed plenty of gum. I tried not to blink because I was afraid I couldn't get the eyelids back open.

Coming back home Mrs. asked, as my pants groin was all gummed up, what I've been up to. It came to my mind, "It's make love to a moustache man day today, isn't it?" But I held it back.
