Holy heck!
HD definitely means hells deep and you can definitely dig there with that contraption and raise hell 
Not sure which type of 4 wheeler this is directed at. Ha.
I'm glad I got a 3 wheeler
Maybe it is an age thing, but when I drove a tractor trailer a 4 wheeler was a car ... I don't even think they had 4 wheel ATVs back then!
I have also heard ATVs referred to as 4 wheelers. None it is bothers me.
Looks like early ATVs were either 6 wheelers or 3 wheelers 4 wheelers did not show up until the 1980s.

So I’m gonna look at those 4 wheelers this weekend……
Meanwhile a 36” mill, rip chain, a 20” TsuMura bar/exl chain for the 620P, and a 25” bar/exl chain for the 892BV are in the mail.
Even after the select cut this past winter there is a put load of oak, beech, birch, and maple to cut for my new firewood hustle. $500 a seasoned cord right now to the Boston area

Other stuff, but it has been talked about recently. I got my hernia fixed today, a left side inguinal. I think I got it rasslin’ logs once at work, so it fits with scrounging firewood also. It was done laparoscopically; not much to show so pictures would be worthless.
That's more than double what it goes for around here wow. That's a good hustle. If I could get 250$ a cord I would of been cutting like a feller buncher for the last yearSo I’m gonna look at those 4 wheelers this weekend……

Never underestimate what rich people are willing to spend for that fine smell and crackle of burnin wood!
I was thinking that alot of people are still using fuel oil there I know around here in Michigan it's super expensive.
10:30 this morning was on my way over to moms in Carmel.
And someone is going to be pissed when they try to unload the trailer . Found this on the shoulder of a main rd on the way ,HD about 4 ft long

Fuel oil is 1/3 of a fractional distillate group of a barrel of crude which includes jet fuel and diesel. The other components are gas and other byproducts. Suffice it to say there is alot of competition with jet fuel and diesel which causes fuel oil to be priced higher. The Northeast US is one the biggest consumers of fuel oil. Thanks to poor policy even LNG is shipped from the gulf through a hub in Trinidad and Tobago before it gets up to NE. Can we get any dumber?
Nonetheless it’s been seasonally warm here due to the polar effect that dipped in Middle America. It was about 55F today when normally it’s about 20F.
Another “other stuff” item is gold currently at $1855 spot and I study macro economics. I’m a resource investor who likes to hold mineral exploration stocks and especially precious metals. Expect a massive move in gold and silver this year. I hold alot of physical metals and my leveraged play is miners who will see outsized gains this year. One 3x leveraged etn is now up 140% from when I bought it.

Man, I feel stupid.
Trying to get a bunch of wood cut up and stacked for the wife because there is a good chance I will be gone for a few weeks for work. Running my 372xp with 28” bar and was time for a new chain. I was getting ready to pull out the roll of chain when I came across a few old chains of my dads.
Now, ever since I was a teenager I’ve run full house. My dad always ran skip, and I always thought it was dumb. We have small soft wood, my saws have no trouble pulling full house.
These chains were 32” and square ground slip tooth oregon, which is what the old man ran logging so I’m sure these are some of his old chains. They were pretty dull, so I cut a few kinks out to fit my 28” bar, and threw them on the grinder. Files the rakers with my well worn husky guage that gets them down about .035” where I like them.
Man does this skip tooth CUT. The saw sounds the same, but this chain is definitely smoother cutting and not any slower cutting then full house. Big chips, fast cutting and now I feel stupid for sharpening twice as many teeth as I needed to my whole life.

Sawed a pile of cedar 4x4's for the hog barn today...
The sawdust never settles down your way bro! That is some incredible looking wood!
Im guessing red cedar? I think all we have is white cedar. Conflicting information on what species we have
Yup, it's red cedar.... technically it's a juniper, but everybody calls it cedar anyway.

Check this out.
There are a lot of factors, but when I tested full comp square file vs semi skip square file in hardwood (Red Oak) the full comp was clearly faster.
I've heard that with long bars in softwood that skip clears the chips faster.
The results will also depend on the power of your saw vs length of B+C and hardness of wood, depth of rakers, etc.
