Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[James Miller]

I was just joking, I have a postal scale. I usually use it for weighing ax heads, Joe.

I figured you didn't need a scale you can just say heavy beside the big older saws

It's hard to get good workers these days. This fellow just stands around all dayView attachment 632023

He's fresh back from the latest health and safety courses. The safety geniuses have had the epiphany that by issuing H&S rules that force us to stand around doing SFA they'll improve the safety record of the industry.

Cut a tree for a buddy that was hung up. Think it was basswood? I've maybe cut one before. Got to use the 24" bar on the 288 and it rips pretty good. Also tried some husky chain for the first time. Worked well and threw nice chips.

I just happened to have a scale and a saw so why not. People maid a big deal about the 261v2 being 10.8 pounds 490-501 where there for a few years already. Or the 462 that doesn't have any better specs the a 15 year old Dolmar .

Bored the weather sucks, nothing to cut here. I read threw the thread about converting a 241 to 18" .325 and that got the ball rolling.

were't no snow down your way this morning. we stihl have inches of ice up here on the hill. no scrounging for a while.

Here either. Decided to be Ohio again instead of Wisconsin. Or Eastconsin. Been just at or above feezin and rain. "The Pile" is in the middle of a mudpit. However, that dude said he was gonna drag some wood up to the entrance so I could get to it on nasty days. Good and bad. Accessable. But even more mud on the logs. I'm gonna be a filin fool by the time I get done with this pile. I havent been up there in a couple days. Wonder if he moved any.

That's every industry. More safety rules meens less common sense. Iv seen more people hurt in the past 5 years at my job then the first 5 years when they had no safety program.

Only good thing about this crap ass forecast is I'll be burning less wood. Guess I need to fire up the studio and play some. My sister came over to record some songs yesterday and I had all kinds of stuff not workin since the equipment has been sitting so long.

Its a swamp here. Tried to drive the truck to the burn pile and it just wanted to slide sideways down the hill. Takes forever to dry out.

More injured or more injuries reported?

I don't think we've gone below 95% humidity during the day for the last three days. Condensation is forming on almost everything. Starting to get a little more loopy than usual. What does the safety manual say about that? Can I continue if i wear ear plugs under my ear muffs? What about if I place four more road cones and warning signs around the job that's almost a mile off the road? If i put the spark arresters back on my saw will it help me become more situationally aware?

Our safety manuals would say to provide more breaks when the weather is oppressive, along with cooling / heating facilities.

Also, to screen out loopy workers using power tools.
