weekend of firewood cutting

[injun joe]

we went out to go and get some firewood and thought lets try to cut some bigger wood so we took our 090 and we found a tree that was as most cottonwoods far from circular. the tree we cut measured between 50''-69'' in diameter. my 61 year old grandfather and i got the priviledge to load these beast into the trcuk by hand and they were damp so loading was just ''fun'' i estimate the rounds are upwards of 400 lbs +.well just thought i would share our fruitful weekend.
