Well we were right in the perfect zone for eclipse viewing. We normally see 6-10 cars per day. Seen 130 plus in the last hour!
Did you sell any firewood, or move any to follow Christ!
Just saw this lol. I'm not sure if he's paying, or if the atheist is supposed to.

I'm far from fitting the description, but I'll take great care of the dog if he's paying lol.
So I sent him this 😜. Yeah, I consider myself an opportunist with values :).

They are flying by!
 
Forgot what it feels like to do a roof by yourself. Lol. Shoulders sure do ache right now. But I'm happy with the progress. Still got another 2 hours of sunlight, so I'll get the drip edge on the other side and start slinging some panels up.

Well, the brother in-law said
Oh I see that Remington, I’ll raise you a Winchester

He found a Model 70 and knows I love them

So, now I have one in a smoking fast 22-250

Even got me 40rounds of Barnes 50gr TSX

Scope is a cheaper model, but 6-24x should be able to see a woodchuck blink

Another nice day here today, sunny 70's, so I decided to run the BSM.

So, off I go with my loader tractor grabbing up this pretty nice older cherry, first trimming up the ends with my chainsaw, after loading it on the BSM,

With that done, I started by taking the "slab" off and then a "flitch". I always use my winch for turning these bigger logs when working alone,

I like to load the lumber and slabs on my pallet forks as it saves my back and I can move them later, to wherever I want them,

anyway, I kept sawing around the log until I had a "cant",

I try to "grade saw" these nicer logs, but sometimes you just can't because you are chasing all the tension that's in the log. Anyway, If I can, I like to make several cuts before idling the saw down, then moving the boards to the pallet forks,

Anyway, here's the lumber I ended up with,

as it's going to sit around a while before it goes to is new home, I put it on stickers. As you can see, there's some really nice lumber in the stack,

With that done, it was time to kick back and watch the sun and the moon do their thing!

That was a nice one, some good looking boards. Sure was a nice day for that.
Yesterday I looked at some of the white pine boards laying around lol. I'll get back up there soon to plane them.
