Nice work on getting her righted. its important to shut it off right away and flip it quick so the oil doesn't get into the cylinder and cause a lock on the motor. I cant see in the photo but did you have a fiddle block or 5:1 device to pull on the rope?My morning started well...then suddenly not so much.
Got her upright and back to work pretty quickly though

Yeah i shut it down as soon as i ran back to it, after bailing. Had it upright in 20 minutes. Took me longer to get the grapple off (with the brush/logs in it), and the gear down to the mini, and everything setup, than cranking it back up...truck was way up the hill on the road.
I put a pulley up in the oak tree, thankfully the tree was there, and used a come-a-long on a porta wrap to crank it back upright. My climber was in a tree, so was just me.
Lost some deisel fuel, but other than that it seems ok.

Wife took a few pics of me stuffing the chipper in front of our house
The real question did she bring u a home cooked lunch?
Lol. Yeah, maybe she was real nice and raised the hump on the sleep number for him! Just saying.

Looks like the same old school lettering on my trucks. My sign guy would know the name of the style, I forget. Don't see that too often these days.

Took down a medium sized beech, 4' dbh with only one ground guy. He was hustling real good. Not bad for the first day back on the books for spring.
Nice. That must've been brutal on that saw ripping that stump like that.

Between taking my wife to see that movie and being out in the cold sun my face is chapped indeed. Here I am keeping up appearances, this is after the third day thining these woods, its been a ****ing fight since day one through the bramble and the mud.
Today was the 5th full day, not only is my wife suspicious about me actually working this much but I am about sick of it myself.
All this has basically been some sort of well planned hack and slash.
Me and my boyfriend have been cutting through that ******** up yonder and I have had about enough though the parts were we made chip pile angels and finger popped each other's assholes was kinda fun.

Stop it, you sound like a *****.
You gonna clean up all that other crap laying about everywhere in the first couple pics, or just keep rolling along? Looking good.

Make one, just make your top plate angle 10°-15° instead of 25°-30°
