Hanging at the Waffle House in Murphy NC for a few minutes and my phone finally works.

Here's a few photos from Zogger's place yesterday:

Here's the smaller of the two oakzilla stumps. This is the one that tried to drop a limb through Zog's living room.

Some people may not want to see that oak pile
Why did you not take the stump to the ground you had the saw running
A pic of that or a vid even better
I like big saws

That saw is so huge it looks like its photo shopped in there! I laughed so hard at that pic cause I'd be grinning too! Glad you're having a good trip.

Well since we're talking about cutting up scrounged wood with scrounged saws ...

I've had a chance to spend time with @muddstopper @NGaMountains and @zogger over the past two days and can tell you they are all very good people.

I have a few pics from zogger's place that I'll post up when I have better reception. I did get a chance to see oakzilla, the zogger smogger, and run the zoginator when I was at his house

I've added 6 1/2 saws to the fleet over the past week for a combined total of $25. Going to need more storage space lol.
@svk Steve, You keep spending money like that on saws and you will have to get a second or third job.:rock2::laughing::laughing:
 
I have never been a fan of Jeeps of anykind. I always figured if I was going to go off road, it was because I needed to haul something in or out. A 4x4 pickup is a better tool for doing that. On the other hand, my wife has wanted a CJ every since we have been married. After 41years of marriage, we still havent ever owned a jeep, and she still points out every jeep she see's. Ohh,La la, look at that, you would think sooner or later she would just give it up.
She is the other side of the same coin. Bet her mind says he's going going to give in sooner or later and I'll get my Jeep.lol
 
IMG_3216.JPG Laid down a few maples yesterday. We have about 50 acres full of fir, cedar, maple and alder we can clear cut. Also with 1600 acres of farmland we have plenty of tree removal from miscellaneous reasons going on throughout the year. Keeps my saws from sitting idle too long! This one was a bit of a challenge since it was in a hole, where the saw was hanging is about 5-6ft off the ground.
 
Got a little scrounge thrusday. No pics, and I wish it didnt happen. wind had blow out the top of a bradford pear at my neices house. , I hate bradford pairs, even tho I have a few planted around the house. Brother wanted to get it cleaned up out of her yard, and of course, I can always use the wood. We cut and loaded the top and decided the rest of the tree should come down because it was very one sided and the part that was left was hanging over the neighbors fence. well we hooked up a tractor to keep the tree off the fence and he pulled while I sawed. Limbing a bradford pair with a 20in bar 365 is a killer on someone that cant hardly lift his leg, but I waded thru it. I ended up with maybe a 1/3 cord of wood, that had water running out of the end of it, is very stringy when split, and the splenters will cut your hands like razor blades when stacking. Did I mention I hate bradford pears. Pushing the brus in a pile with the fel and ran a stick thru the front tire. At least it wasnt my tractor because the little amount of wood sure wasnt worth the work, or tire, to get it.
 
@muddstopper

I had a tight fit getting out of town on the Joe Brown highway this morning. Almost had to get my saw out to widen the cut.

Came upon an old couple with teenage kids in the back and flagged them down to warn them of the upcoming tree. The fellow asked me where the road came out and I said Violet to which he seemed to never heard of before.
