Cutting in the fresh snow !!

[chugbug]

We got a good 10'' of snow from the first big storm of the season and I just had to grab the husky 346 and knock down a tree !! Do we have a abbrev. for the wood cutting addiction ( WCA ) . It went good , about a 10 '' standing dead oak , should last me quite a few days in the OWB. The front end loader is a life saver for wood hauling .

Cutting in the snow

I was just about to post a rant complaining about the snow keeping me from cutting. Ya' cut me off at the knees before I could put it up.

We need to come up with a 10 step program for our addiction.

Some good strong trash bags over the old work boots works pretty good if your in all snow, a little slippy though.

if you're not going to be out there long (bad for the feet) Trash bags over the socks, inside the boots, trimmed off at boot height.

I had a good time, wasn't out to long , I'm always fooling with my chain and then need to go try it out ( at least thats my excuse ! ) I was trying to take just a little off the rizers and I didn't get them even so I got my gauge out and did the best I could , it did cut better , I don't like the hand held gauges , they don't allow for taking off a little extra , I have one of the northern sharpeners ordered up for christmas so I should be able to get the rizers all even now .

It's hard to get very many cold weather shots with a digital camera, they like to freeze up.

Smart Wool socks from REI. Keep your feet nice and warm even if boots are soaked through

I would trade our 50mph wind and sub-zero temps for 10 inches of snow.

They work great , you can usually get a thin winter liner for them and stud them up for traction .
+1 for the girlfriend with the big heart and brain (lucky you)

Yes, I liked Illinois for a lot of things, but it is the weather b@tthole of the world. I'm officially out of the cutting business for a spell. I went home to check out the house (I work out of town) and this is what I found.

Oh, my, how did that pic of a Super Pro 81 get in there? I know some guys.. they want $150 for it. Nice looking saw, I have vid of it starting and running. Maybe I'll post a thread.
