The area my mountain place is in has been closed to the public because of the “Creek Fire”, so I guess I’m not cutting firewood this coming weekend as we planned. The fire appears less than 5 miles away. I hope they stop it in time.

These pictures are probably from 5-6 miles away.

Sounds like somebody needs a trailer.

I HAVE a trailer, but it was full of Cherry from this morning's no show. So now I have to unload the trailer and restack it tomorrow before I can use it again. Busy next couple of days, but I might go back if still there.

Went out with my buddy Scott to get a another load of red fir this morning B7F451DA-6A3B-4A89-AB5E-B8EE64CD13A1.jpeg
Nice day, north wind came up and blew all of mountainguys smoke back to them, only about 65* today. Then met up with a guy that wanted a couple pine trees fell and cut up on his building lot. The 25 mph wind gusts didn’t help but they pretty much went where he wanted them A621C3DA-1B9A-4407-8047-C3F1779D7147.jpegHe decided he wanted a bench made out one of the butt logs so the 572 obligedD6590E8C-F88A-49FB-A53E-7A64012BB15F.jpeg
 
Finally took the time to do some work on my Wallenstein Wood Processor. Replaced the Flow Compensator valve so that the bar feed works better. Built a 4 way wedge for it instead of the 6 way. I only use it for logs up to 10" so the 4 way makes better size splits. I think I finally have all the bugs worked out of it or at least enough that it is reliable now. I cut a couple of ash trees down at the cemetery. I was lazy and didn't bother cutting a birds mouth and just let it fall over. Didn't feel like ruining a chain.

Ha!

Next time you see an environmentalist be sure and thank them for creating these catastrophic fire conditions. For decades every time the local National Forest planned mechanical thinning or prescribed burns the environmentalists would tie it up with lawsuits, they were trying to save every tree instead of letting the Forest Service create a healthy forest.

We need to have a national slap a tree hugger day. For those types of idiots.
