Bonfire night...How'd it look from your place @KiwiBro ?

:) :blob2:
So that was you lot? I thought it was the Labour Party's self-immolation. We get crazy sunrises (if really bad) and sunsets during your bushfires so we'll be sure to check the sunset this evening. Looks like a great bonfire and some serious brownie reward points well earned. Onya
 
That is for the Ryobis.

did the battery survive? wondering if, as they say... a fully charged battery can take freeze temps.
@Backyard Lumberjack I left the battery in my JD X530 this past winter. It was kept in a shed and temps got down to negative 40 a couple times. It was below zero many times. This spring the tractor started just fine without any charging of the battery.
 
A little bit of everything here.

Split 2/3 cord of new hardwood last night and loaded 1/3 cord of seasoned wood last night. Dropped that off today for a guy.

Scrounged a couple of planks that had been sitting beside my office building for the past several months. Turned them into kindling.

First goldfinches. And a cake for the grey jays.

that grey/yellow ryobi LOOKS cool....some saws LOOK mean...i think the more angular mid sized huskys look incredible. i suspect the ryobi performance doesn't match its looks.

Dan, what IS the Stihl-obi? ms 261?

The Stihlobi is a 241 .

I went over to that house lot that Paul wanted cut so he could start on it next week .
I goter done :)

It was a good day , the trackhoe operator will pick out the stems for retrieval when they get a driveway in :)
If any of you guys are running low on wood come on over , I might have a bit that I could spare ;)
Btw , I had some salmon on the barbie for supper , I planked it out on some scrounged cedar that I had cut at a friends place so he could get more sun on his house , sure made for some nice tasting salmon :)
 
Well **** all to heck !
I might have to take back that free wood offer :(
Just got off the phone with Paul , that big storage area that he wanted cut is on hold because he may not be able to get approval for it :(


Well , maybe I could spare just a bit .
Yup, I can so come on up , cars only , no trucks because I don't want to run short on wood ;)
 
great photos steve, and Dan.

I did a bit of splitting and stacking tonight. I love oak, so easy to split. I was loving the eucalyptus to, that virtually splintered from a stern look. I guess 5 years into this I've learnt a thing or two...and I like that I now do a LOT of my splitting with my x17 and rattle through with so much less sweat and grunt!
 
Scrounge.

Just some noodling and then its all mine. Already got 2 truck loads. Out of this. Still have a LONG limb left that is about 16” diameter at the largest point. I think i have an easy 3 truck loads left.

Shout out to @quattro90 for hooking me up with this awesome ported and MM’d 385XP
