Charity Firewood Cutting for Interfaith Caregivers of Burnett County WI

[Philbert]

+1 - it wasn't just the equipment, it was the operators! The place really looks transformed.

A few more pics:

Dropping of the stump (like New Year's Eve in Danbury I guess . . . )


Funny sign to see at a firewood place?


Processor


Measuring sticks for volunteer cutters.


Most powerful battery powered saw there today!

Chainsaw Races July 22!!!

Just a reminder - Organized by the Redneck Chainsaw Racers (via the 'Dodgegeeks'), Low key, lots of fun:

July 22, 2017

"5th annual event at the Chicago county Fair at Rush City - we hope to see you all there! It is always a good time and everyone is invited to come and play.

This year, we will have classes for stock, woods ported, and new this year will be an additional unlimited class. We might try a few different things to keep everyone on their toes.

Please plan to arrive between 2 & 3 if you are racing- this allows time to sign in, get our classes put together, and have time to chat a bit before getting started. If you're not there before 3, you will have to park in general parking as the parade will have begun. The fair schedule says 430 start, but we pretty much start whenever the parade ends. 430 is a good time to plan on if you're there to spectate only! If you can make it - great, if you can let us know, even better! Thanks- we look forward to seeing you there!"

Here's a link to the website for the fair schedule...http://www.chisagocountyfair.org/fair-schedule.html

Wood yard is cleaned and organized. Lean-to built to keep equipment out of the weather. 5R is going to do some maintenance and repair on the cutting stand. Five more loads of logs delivered for processing. All we need is a killing frost and a date to start cutting again! how is everyones October schedule looking?????

Talked to Denny-Thinking Oct 15th or 22nd for working the woodpile. November is a bad month with hunting. Maybe another Sunday in early December (weather permitting). With the new layout we should be able to run 4 splitters and two elevators. I truly think that in two days we can process enough wood for next season. Questions? Comments or snide remarks??????

I think the 15th should work for me and Sarah. Hope the weather cooperates for us.

Forgot about my sons birthday on the 22nd. sounds like the 15th is better for a majority of people-15TH IT SHALL BE!!!!

 

[5R-INC]

I will be there.

5R and I cased the operation last night. Going to do some work on the cutting stand and Adam's elevator next Saturday. Should have 2 elevators and 4 splitters set up to keep 2 cutters busy!!

Bucking stand and two elavators are set up and ready. Going to need lots of hands to man 4 splitters and saws. The wood yard is looking good.

By my estimation we'll need about 15 bodies to "git 'er dun!"

People from church group from here have been asking about a trip up to Danbury this fall, but that won't be until early November before deer season. (that seems to be the only time that works for everyone in my area) Hopefully we can make a mountain of wood now to keep them busy then.

2 elevators=2 mountains of wood!

I am planning on Sunday.
Breakfast meeting? Time and place?
And directions again to Denny's. I've only been there once.

 

[WetGunPowder]

Breakfast at 0700@Gary's Rude Café on Main Street in Siren. Denny's is located at 7528 Hayden Lake RD Danbury. Approximately 3/4 mile west off Hwy 35-Wisconsin Hwy 35 that is!

 

[WetGunPowder]

Looks like mud boots are in order today!!

Thanks to all that helped yesterday. Don't know if you guys are working me harder or I'm just getting older-Think it might be alittle of both! Grizz and Sara were both taking pictures, hopefully they will post them soon. We may try to do something again in the first part of November (less the Minnesota hunters!) and will for sure plan on the 3rd of December to "work the woodpile"
