Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Philbert]

Don't make fun of my Mercedes wagon wood/kid hauler.

I thought it was one of those wood gas generator Mercedes models, popular during 'the war'!

I sure wish my van would have had self leveling suspension lol

Found a free little scrounge today. Some ***hole illegally dumped a load of yard waste. I can't stand people who do this crap. But ended up being a nice little score of hardwood. Looks like Elm to me but I'm not an expert on hard woods. Ran the 350 and 024AVS. The made easy work of the cutting. Splitting Elm is a pain compared to our native conifers.

Don't make fun of my Mercedes wagon wood/kid hauler. With the self leveling suspension you couldn't tell it was back there. I didn't plan on hauling a load. I would of taken my Dodge Cummins if I did. I figure Dancan and a few others using minivans or Subaru will approve.

Now that's scroungin'!

So you just 'happened' to have two chainsaws in the back of your Mercedes? There's something you never hear.

I sure wish I had a brother like you lol. I got stuck with 2 sisters

Well, he does do my tax returns for nothing so it evens out. He considers that he is at greater risk of physical injury in this arrangement than me (what with paper cuts and all). He has never used a chainsaw!

I almost feel guilty about this "scrounge"! A landscaper dropped the wood in my driveway yesterday, and my Dr Al 360 got the call to make some chips, which it did very well!

The same landscaper is supposed to give me some more logs today at another location today .

Yesterday was Maple, today will be Black Birch. I can't complain! I'm also scheduled to drop another Hard Maple (and I take the wood) at another location. (The garden needs sun). The only thing I need is more time!

Went out Monday afternoon Cut up a load of ash (not oak) once more starter rope broke

pp 455 this time.... why carry 6 saws or more ..... this is why


The Jonsereds needed some love anyway

I like when I or brother Bud can roll them in the trailer


Not bad for a half day

The tool boxes doubling as sidewalls are a great idea.

Come a long / cables / digging bar / PPE / oil / mix fuel / and anything I way need
No more getting to a job and forgetting something at the shop

Couldn't push start that saw? Lol.

My sidewalls and toolboxes came with an engine....

Seemed like I was ALWAYS messing with the recoil starters on my Homelites, both broken ropes and mechanical failures. Conversely, the recoil starter on my 044 has never failed, never even replaced the rope! Just another reason to like that saw!

Sounds like you need to lay off the weights, big fella .

Nice load all the same. Love the look of that ash, looks so nice and clean.

49 out there dropping to 40 , raining and the winds will pick up , here's some scrounged dry pine and spruce making sure that the 40's don't get in the house

Strange weather this week. Three different days we've had both the heat and A/C in use on the same day. Normally you may need one or the other this time of year but never both.

 

[MustangMike]

40s and rain all day today, and I wanted to scrounge! Got a load delivered I have not even seen yet! (Bl Birch). Have to cut it up and move it.

Tomorrow AM gotta pick up a new (used) BMW X-3 for the wife, then I won't have to fight with her to use the Escape!

Maybe tomorrow PM I will get to check it out (the wood).

Beemer? Good on you. You know what they say, "HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE!"

 

[MechanicMatt]

You keeping the other BMW? You better watch out, those x3's are known to be horrid in snow.

Just needs a set of true snow tires.

 

[MechanicMatt]

Skip to the 3:30 mark for where it gets fun

But in all seriousness, Aunt Lynne will probably never do this to hers.
