Yeah I've been lucky so far they have all been a ton of smaller one or decently straight.

My family was looking to have a little logging done, the bids just came in. Evidently log prices just dumped. Now we have to decide whether or not to go ahead with the sale, or hope the market comes back. I guess we hit a perfect storm of exports stopping, mills getting inventories up. Is that the same around the rest of the country?

No, we were kind of disappointed in that, too, only 3 bids. No export hardwood, the export would be the DF.

haven't seen a log price in a little while, I know The doug fir J sort was due end of Jan... then the whole longshoremen strike is kinda ****in everything up...
It will come back around, been a mild winter so the usual winter slow down isn't happening, therefore the mill taint starvin so don't need to jack the prices to incourage folks like us to log ground we should leave for summer...

The Buckley export yard is pretty much shut down not a log in the place they just finished cleaning it all up few months ago was full
I'm going to guess that's a reaction to the west coast port issues.
Took a walk in the woods with the slightly used pup today.
Earlier sometime, I posted the arrest of this guy. He had called in a bomb threat to a mill so his friend could play with him. Here's the update.

CHEHALIS – The 24-year-old who called in an anonymous bomb threat to a Morton lumber mill and admitted to police he just wanted to get a friend out of work so they could hang out was sentenced today to house arrest.
Marcus T. Dantinne pleaded guilty to threat to bomb property, a felony. He apologized this morning in Lewis County Superior Court.
“I truly am greatly sorry for all the badness I’ve caused throughout this,” Dantinne told the judge. “I’m seeking attention from Cascade Mental Health right now.”
Dantinne, who lives with his mother in Morton, was arrested on Nov. 17, after the scare that shut down Alta Forest Products just north of town of some 60 employees. The company’s mill in Shelton was also evacuated because they didn’t know if the threat was site specific.
Police traced the call to Dantinne who reportedly took the phone apart so he wouldn’t be discovered.
Dantinne spent two days jail before being allowed to wait out his case by posting an unsecured, but co-signed $10,000 bond. His mother was with him in the courtroom today.
He faced a standard sentencing range of three to nine months of lockup, but the lawyers agreed to recommend he be sentenced as a first-time offender, meaning zero to 90 days in jail.
Lewis County Senior Deputy Prosecutor Will Halstead and defense attorney Shane O’Rourke agreed he should serve one month, and suggested to the judge he be allowed to do so under electronic home monitoring.
This morning in court, O’Rourke read a letter from Dantinne’s social worker regarding his eligibility for the alternative; she expressed he suffered from severe social anxiety, and that confinement at the county jail would be detrimental.
The young man has several issues, one of which is autism spectrum disorder, but has been very focused on his outpatient treatment, according to the letter.
Judge Nelson Hunt went along with the sentence.
“Kind of a stupid reason for a bomb threat,” Hunt said. “Usually there’s more to it, than I want a day off with my friend.”
Hunt advised him he has lost his right to possess firearms, and ordered him to begin his electronic home monitoring stint by the evening of March 17.
Dantinne will be under supervision for a year, during which he will have to comply with all his treatment requirements, according to Halstead.
Not yet determined, is the amount he will owe in restitution.
Halstead told the judge the mill indicates the hoax cost them a tad bit over $42,000.

Shoulders are really tricky. Hopefully the MRI will show something fixable which could give you more functionality. We'll all be pulling for you

yes we will. Jeff i thought you was on the mend by now....
I dislocated mine playing with the dog, it popped right back in so I didn't see a doc. The 3 weeks it took my wife to talk me into going in was horrible, it just kept getting worse. Saw an orthopod a few weeks later, it was the best I had slept in 6 weeks. Just a simple cortisone injection. Oh yeah, I suspect the two months of PT probably helped long term.
Shoulders are a pain in the neck.
Hope it goes well for you.

JL, every medical person I talk to says as Dr. Jon posted. There is no hard fast rule. Personally, I am two weeks out from rotator cuff surgery and a slap repair (bicep) on my right side. I have been blessed with little surgical pain and haven't needed the pain meds prescribed. Four more weeks of immobilization and passive PT before I can use my shoulder then more PT. Yesterday, I drove for the first time using a "suicide" knob on the steering wheel; wouldn't you know it, my left shoulder flared with just minimal driving. Time is coming for an MRI of the left shoulder although the Docs are pretty much sure that I need RC surgery on it as well. Wish you the best and a good recovery. Ron
What pisses me off is I've been saying all along something wasn't right with my shoulder and my surgeon wouldn't listen. Now two other docs have both recommended another surgery. 5 months wasted.
Good luck. My doc told me my right shoulder is beyond repair and doesn't recommend replacement till I'm 70.
I know when skidding for a mechanized outfit and the buncher operator puts up big skids it makes for a looooooong day.
