The working man, and chainsaw thread!!!!!!!!!

[carym2a]

Sorry Cary, had my hands full when you called, had my dogs out packing wood, etc! I text a lot as I go, man facebook has been a lifesaver, and this group, get to chat, and socialize with almost all my friends at once. Good night you guy's, working man is getting up at 230am, have to sand the county roads, for ice, man 230 comes early.

All's good , I spent an hour getting both wood stoves up to temp before the miss's got home, then she said it was to warm:msp_rolleyes: And your right with as busy as things get its cool to have all the differant ways to keep up with each other and it helps having a job that will allow it. be safe everybody

NICE!!!!! Brian do you like snakes?! I love snakes, :msp_w00t: watch out for the poisonous ones!!! :msp_scared:
How long was it, did you get a good look at it?!? :hmm3grin2orange:
Work safe. :msp_thumbsup: (I really mean it! )

Yeah I like snakes, had a couple of corn snakes just like that one when I was a kid. And I got a real good look at it, I startled it just as much as it startled me LOL. It was trying like hell to bight me. It was only about 2', but it was still a surprise half way up a tree. When doing palm trees I find a lot of animals, usually after I cut them. Just about cut another corn snake in half in a palm tree a couple of weeks ago, in most cases you dont know they are there until its too late. Will try to avoid them it I catch it in time but its just not the case usually.

I hear that Randy, nothing but early rising for me lately! Brian I am not a fan of snakes, or spiders Aaron thanks for coming and bringing that saw my friend

 

[carym2a]

Norm, when I can I will post some pictures of those tanoaks and alders that we were talking about that i'm not really sure how to if I really should try and take down, just so dang steep, bunched up. get some in put from You, Randy, Aaron and rest of the crew.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Awesome Cary, love to see them.

Moved some wood yesterday, two "over full" loads from the "20(+)" property. No cutting yesterday. It was stuff I had already cut to stove length a few weeks back. Finally had some time to move wood, plus my son got back from college Friday night so I put him to work. :hmm3grin2orange: I'll post some pics later today, too tired to do it last night. :msp_sleep:
I agree with Norm Cary, love to see those pics.
Time to get ready for work, put wood in the stove, MAKE SOME COFFEE..... :msp_w00t:

Good deal Randy, glad your son is back, new partner:msp_biggrin: They don't teach you that stuff in school:msp_wink: Working man is moving slow, good hard dog run yesterday, and one cold arse rain came about noon. Then we were able to cut some limbs over the owner, Bette's chimney so she could use her wood stove, then came Aaron with Parmeters Christmas present His old man's 750 homelite, with a 48in Canon bar, he used to fall old growth with. Like this one, give you a time frame, kid in the pic Brain, Parmeter's bro is now in his 30's, Disregard the pic with the 044, added that accidently.

Been awhile since iv'e been seen around here but got some pictures from work this past summer. Some are from cutting spruce on Baker Island in Maine where we camped out for 2 weeks and cut and burned for 14 hours a day. The rest are from the Mark Twain NF in Missouri cutting the silly hardwoods they have down there. None of the trees were for sawlogs = high stumps. Enjoy.

Some more,

And some more,

Looking good Chris. I see you backbar your face cuts sometimes too. I like to backbar sometimes when I'm working on a sidehill (depending on the footing/terrain).

Yea I normally do it when i'm felling from the left side of the tree with a saw that doesn't have a 3/4 wrap but there are certainly other times as well.

Here is "some" of what I did yesterday.....

.....picture of the first load.....(my son was a big help :msp_thumbup

.....no pic of the second load, but here's both loads after we dropped 'em, in the background we're reloading the truck with Oak(cut, split, and seasoned) to bring over to my woodshed.....

 

[NORMZILLA44]

I agree Aaron, looking good Chris fine work! Randy nice pic's and wood my friend! That's some hauling! Aaron see if I know how give it a shot.

Well its been a busy couple of days for me. Was working on my bosses 020, and ended up having to tear down the whole saw. Went to do a vac test, and found the exhaust port had a bunch of carbon build up. Had to clean all kinds of crap from the around the cylinder, was full of palm tree debris. Today had two pine trees to take down. First one was pretty large, and about 75% of it had to be roped down. Got a lot of training on the port-a-wrap today. My boss did all the climbing today, but I got to run ropes so I still got to learn a little. Was a long day and the wood was heavy LOL!!

Here is the carbon build up, and another of all the garbage inside the saw. Ran great today on the pine tree, so I was pretty happy about that.

Here is a few from today. Two were while I had a spare second while he was putting on his spikes. My boss really dosnt like the spikes so he did the whole crown with out them. And then there is one of me bucking up the log.

Been trying to scrounge up some firewood for next year and coming up empty. Now I know why ........ you have all the wood in the state !!

 

[Rounder]

Hey Norm, hope all is well. No chainsaw pics, still doing the lone ranger timber faller bit. Have been having fun with my other 2-stroke though........way more fun than saws. At least the saws make enough money to pay for a little fun.

Happy Holidays - Sam
