got the 1st load of charity wood out this year...hard times out there
the guy wanted a saw, but we have helped him before, i KNOW the wood wont end up in the pawn shop
he has a BIG tree down in neosho MO. I might get it cut up for him soon
as long as he lifts the big stuff.... we will see what happens

Let me know when you can make it down I am only a few miles from Neosho will come help if I am not working

I don't get people like that. That reminds me of the people who have the temerity to ask if you'll deliver free wood to them as they can't be bothered to come pick it up...

On another note, I'm not getting the update notifications... WTF? I would love to make Jim's Saturday but have a $500.00 bill to pay on the next check (above and beyond normal bills) and that will kill me for the next 2-3 weeks... Just when you think you're getting ahead.

Morning midlanders!

Three degrees here this morning. Half cup of coffee let the new pup out to tinkle and back to bed. Another day inside as the garage is down to forty.

Even if only Kenneth & I make drops, 2-1/2 to 3 cords, it should be 1-2 months worth. There is no reason for folks to feel they need to go to extremes. As Carl mentioned, Mo Jim does enjoy scrounging wood so I'm fairly sure he does have some on hand.

I'm about 2-1/2 hours away. I will probably go up Sunday, Jan 11th.

Yes. My concern is he is having trouble with his back. Docs at Levenworth VA have him on pain meds.

wood scronging is Jims favorite thing.....and getting saws

You betcha. Gets a geezer out of the house.

Hell, I'm four years younger and couldn't do half of what Jim gets away with.

 

[Locust Cutter]

I hope they get his back figured out. I may be going through a Med Board process myself before too' long because of my back. I'm not looking forward to it as there are 3 possible outcomes: surgery, permanent PT Test exemption(s), (situps and possibly running, while no longer being deployable and limiting my career options) and getting a medical retirement (taking it in the shorts $$$-wise compared to a normal full-retirement) while fighting the VA for claims after that until kingdom come... We'll see as I'm not ready for a handi-capped placard.

[RVALUE]

Teacherman called today he wanted to come out and run some saws. he is going to help me Thursday early. And then play with some saws, wait I mean cut some wood later.

It is especially interesting when he changes his old gas out!

It was 16 degrees when I drove past the news station in Columbia last night at 10:30. I can only guess that it got colder as the night wore on. I had to load the boiler three times yesterday, where I've only loaded it twice per day so far this year. That makes me nervous. It's our first year in this house and my first year with this boiler, so I'm not quite sure what to expect yet. I started the winter with around 7 cord stacked, and I have a couple little pockets of wood stashed in the woods still that I can get if I need them, maybe another cord worth.

Hope everyone is staying warm in fly-over country.

If I'm running a boiler for heat, I don't know if I'd be comfortable with less than 10 cord for a season..
Just from what I've heard and stuff...
They hungry...

 

[SteveSS]

I was shooting to have ten cord put away, but I got a late start. I have another couple dead standing black oak that need to be cut and processed.....I just might be really cold while they get done up.

I miss Jim!

Now that's cold Dan, cold.................................On the other hand, I guess it was actually pretty hot.

Anybody ever try out the Stihl splitting mauls? Pricey, but they look nicely made and have a lifetime warranty. I've not heard many stories of Stihl not honoring their warranty.
