Happy D Day everyone. It is amazing the sacrifices that were made so we did not have to wake up and say "Heil Hitler" every morning.

Cut a bunch of Walnut and Mulberry to firewood length, and split some with the X-27 … same stuff I took down last year. Hey, they darn Mulberry is completely cut off, and still growing green leaves!
It is also tougher to cut than the Walnut, and tougher to split (more fibers), but the X-27 gets it done!

Lots of men and women gave it their all for what we have , never forget !
Some wood from the day before giving the 250c it's first test after doing some mods to it, then the snow came in and that put an end to that for a day or so until things dried out a bit.
You somewhere here on the Eastcoast of Canada ?
Still a continuous burn here !
Might be able to shut down the furnace this weekend maybe lol

Some scrounging doesn’t go good. About a mile down the road a big oak came out at the roots, couldn’t be all this rain, and came down on the power lines and the road. While the power company and tree service was there I talked to the guy whose property the tree was on, told him I would cut the limbs and trunk up and haul the wood away, you deal with the branches. “Hey thanks, help yourself.” Talked to the lady across the road, her husband is in poor physical health, and told her the same thing. I’m standing by the tree with the cop that has the road blocked and her husband walks down. I said “Hey George, where do you want the branches piled?” He flips out!!! “You want that free wood then you haul the branches away and clean up the yard.” I turned and walked away. The cop says, “He’s awful friendly for you trying to save him work or money.” Guess I’m only getting wood from one side of the road. I did mention to the tree service what side to throw the wood on and said thanks. Guess what side they were throwing the wood on when I left?

Getting dark and power is still out so I guess scrounging cutting begins in the morning.
How'd the quote go James.
Are you guys trying to save the maple and apple(looks like an apple anyway?), should be easy to get to go that way, aim for the tractor lol.
Or does it sprawl out to the left in the picture a lot.
Kind of the way I am, well maybe except for the kids toys
Well the road is finally open to my high elevation wood area, don’t look like I have to worry about getting too hot if I go there tomorrow.
, maybe I should try a lower area...Took the firewood locating tool out for a ride last weekend
found a little snow... Should have brought my skis. Did find some nice dead standing red fir down lower that was pretty close to the road, and even on the uphill side.
Sounds like you guys have a mess out there.
At least there's plenty of firewood out there available.
Sounds good to me Nate, I'm gonna be like that snow tomorrow, meltingKind of the way I am, well maybe except for the kids toys

. Calling for a high of 82, I'm glad they think it's going to be a cooler summer, 82 is higher than I like.

Attitude is what made the warriors of WWII the last great generation.
Yeah the cooler weather is nice for cutting wood for sure. I’m with you there, that’s a little warm.Sounds good to me Nate, I'm gonna be like that snow tomorrow, melting
Saw this today
looks like it would be a great firewood truck! Lift gate, dump bed, winch on top at front of bed. $4500, seems little high to me, it’s well used, nice set up though. Had access to a flat bed with lift gate from work in Alaska, sure made loading larger rounds nice.
Leave the lift gate a couple feet off the ground, then pull logs right onto it/the bed, then when you're all loaded up raise it the rest of the way, should be able to haul 14' logs loaded to the top of the rails.
Small print; you may have to modify the lift gate or build a log arch to get the higher layers on, but it could be done.
Lots of options if you're willing to spend that kind of cash to get some assistants pulling logs to the rd/truck.
I like getting things done in the fall/spring as long as it's not too muddy. It's been a good spring for getting things done here.
And fishing
. Had some help getting this one in tonight .
sorry to hear D -
today's afternoon storms passed us by!
just S of me... coupe tornadoes and such. hail. winds. trees in the roadways. and 8 powerlines all but down. they had to shut that section of grid down til repairs could be made. I can tell u one thing... all that is bad, but loosing power and so no a/c in these temps.... real bad!
