Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Logger nate]

I know this is not the place but I lost my wife this week after 24 years of marriage. May she rest in peace.

Very sorry to hear of your loss, you will be in our prayers.

Hot and dry here, few fires around and stage 1 fire restrictions on so wanted to scrounge some high elevation lodge pole pine before they close the woods to firewood cuttingNice and cool early in the morning, about 45* at 6 am here.Not a huge load but just right for me and the ole ford.Found this isulator for the old phone line after I cut the block, thankfully I missed it with the saw. This stuff is very dense, heavier than some of the red fir in this area

I could go for some colder weather. 45* sounds nice.

It was very nice up there early morning, got up to 92 later in the day at home but thankful it cools off at night.

I could go for a good hard frost. Mosquitoes are still unseasonably thick, like you’d expect in early June. I’m using good bug spray and still needing to reapply about every 90 minutes. If you don’t spray your clothes they’ll land on your shoulders and bite right through your shirt.

Nice spot there Nate. Nice looking truck too. I don't think a truck like that would fit on UK roads, but it looks the part where you are.

Another CL "free" add find, Wild Black Cherry. I'll use some of it for BBQ/smoking etc.

Is $300 a good price for a Husqvarna 365 Special if it runs good?

 

[svk]

In good shape? Yes.

Pull the muffler and have a look at the p+c to be safe.

365 special and 365xt are two different animals.

If you hand her a fone she can take her own selfies

I had a pet raccoon when I was about 20. Her name was Annie, one of the best pets I ever had. Found her in the hollow of a big tree we took down. The mother came back and got the other Kits and left her. Her eyes weren't open yet. I bottle fed her, and kept her for about 2 years then let her go. She would come back every couple months for another year or so.

Right although even a base 365 is worth 300 if it’s nice.

She's not affraid of any of the equipment

A friend of mine found and raised an orphaned baby raccoon. His was a male and @ about a year or so old he became ornery and "bitey" and he let him wander off to sow his oats.

Friend, I am very sorry for your loss. My family has had many people pass away in the last 2 years and I found some comfort in the following words. I hope it gives you some in this time of great need.

What is dying?
I am standing on the seashore.
A ship sails to the morning breeze and starts for the ocean.
She is an object and I stand watching her
Till at last she fades from the horizon,
And someone at my side says, “She is gone!” Gone where?
Gone from my sight, that is all;
She is just as large in the masts, hull and spars as she was when I saw her,
And just as able to bear her load of living freight to its destination.
The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me, not in her;
And just at the moment when someone at my side says, “She is gone”,
There are others who are watching her coming,
And other voices take up a glad shout,
“There she comes” – and that is dying. -Bishop Charles Henry Brent

Picked up 2 loads like this from my local senior citizen (forgot to take pics until the second load was mostly of the truck.) He's in his mid 70's and maintains 10 wooded acres. He loves cutting and stacks the rounds all over but mostly close to the trail you can drive a truck to.

To me I always love you pics because is so different to where I live.
Regarding the insulators, take another look are you sure it’s not a pair of old school ceramic ear muffs from the 70s
