Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

Don't want to run too far down the political rabbit warren, but don't be afraid of the term "socialism." No major candidate is proposing the elimination of capitalism, and of course we already have many aspects of socialism in America. Social security and medicare are incredibly popular, so much so that no candidate would dare mention disturbing them. SS, for example, was put in place by a conservative government, and is based on a 19th century German system. It's a socialist program, and it's been a massive success. It will require some work to keep it from veering off course by the time I can collect, but its a great example of why the word shouldn't scare anyone, even if you oppose it.

You may be selling, but I'm not buying! If I had the money I put into SS in my 401 K, I would be much better off. Also, the system is scheduled to go broke, and no one wants to fix it … such a deal!!!

Also, have you noticed, since we have all this Medical Ins now, we are no longer #1 in Medicine like we used to be … think about it. There are no free lunches. Our current medical system is wasteful, inefficient, and sucks.

Gotta be half billy goat to work on those slopes, but at least gravity is your friend getting the rounds to the trailer .
How you liking the new saw.

Morning Brett, hope your feeling better. Yeah it helps, the trick is getting them to stop once they get to the road, lol.
I like it a lot, I do prefer auto tune but I like the simplicity of these and the price was better. Really like the torque. Muffler mod works good, only time I don’t like it is making humbolt undercut it blows exhaust at ya more, but will probably see more time milling and noodling so should work well. And front of saw is still clean so far.

Good morning Nate. I am feeling a good bit better, thanks .
I bet, that's good amount of weight causing down that hill . Ever let one go and then see a vehicle coming.
Good thing you don't make those humbolts very often . Does it feel like it's picking up some power. I didn't think it was gonna be that bad on the front, maybe you can go back and let them know it's not.

Just got home from work. Tempted to run to the cabin for a load of wood so I can be home for the football game.

 

[svk]

Halfway to the cabin and it’s sprinkling. Wasn’t supposed to rain till this evening. But I’m committed now lol.

I like to start my humbolt by bore cutting at the top and cut down, much easier to control the saw that way. I dunno if that is an approved or even a safe way to do it though.

Good! Glad your better, no fun being sick.
Yeah I’m on 3rd tank, seems to have picked up some, not bad now, I’m sure it will gain more.

@Logger nate Your pics make me want to move in a heartbeat but by mistake awhile back I showed my wife a couple of your snow pics. Ain’t no way now.

Well, I think Boris must have a plan so cunning you could stick a tail on it and call it a weasel. He has cleared the decks of dissenting party members, exposed the opposition, and hasn't yet alienated Farage and co. I'm thinking nobody could have been so inadvertently destructive or incompetent. Instead, he must have an ace up his sleeve he'll pull out exactly when needed.

Truck loaded, trailer halfway loaded. Not bad for an hour and 45 by myself.

 

[svk]

Ooh...a virgin rummage sale chain.

I’ll “spay” it and remove the bumpers before I sharpen it next time.

Heck yeah .
Is that a cat or a coon just above the trailer .

 

[svk]

What’s the adage... dime for .050, penny for .058, nickel for .063? Too bad they don’t make .058 low profile lol.

This is a Trilink bar with about 20 cords through it. Certainly wearing much faster that other brands but I paid 14 bucks for the bar and chain so can’t complain!

That's nice, gotta like those.

If anyone wants any 3/8 x 20 rental chains let me know, I'm not grinding the bumpers on all of them .
They're very "sharky", got a few extras, most have very little use on them.

I don't know about that adage, I eyeball them unless I'm shipping one out, wouldn't want to get it wrong then.
Time for an 063 chain.
