I don't know what they used to clear the sides of our bike trail, but all the small trees just look like they were "battered" off!

Hopefully, a 289 Hi Po!!!

The meeting with the logger (up at my 50 acres in the Catskills) went well. He is a real nice guy, has a family run business, and seemed very willing to work with me. To my surprise, he told me that Ash prices are high, but Black Cherry not so much! Since he will be primarily taking Ash, I...

Tomorrow I will be up at my property to meet with a logger. Since he is doing the 50 acres next to me, I figure I may as well let him do mine also. In addition to trees over 16", he plans to take all the Ash over 12" due to the Emeral Ash bore. The Timber Company kept logging rights for 10...

That is why I keep 2 MS660s with 36" B+C on the ready. By the time they both go dull, I'm usually ready to be done also! Any idea how long Tulip stays good after it is down. I know where some monster logs are, but they have been down for a while (but are mostly off the ground). I planned to...

Something wrong with that Husky ... the bolts are still in it!!!

I took two grandkids bike riding on the trail today, from Lake Tonetta to Ice Pond (the young one is only 9). Was in the 40s and windy, so not the best of days, but they enjoyed it and didn't complain! But no turtles were out! I always see them on a log in the swamp opposite Ice Pond.

No, my sights are level! Plus, I don't hunt Puma, just Deer and Black Bear! (And an occasional coyote or bobcat)!

Well, I had a pretty good day at the range. OK, so the 348 did not cooperate ... I have one front sight that is too tall, and one that is not tall enough, so another one is on order. But my daughter's 308 Winchester left bolt shot very well ... at least with one load! The CFE223 worked well...

Sure do, right near the garage.

It is actually a Magnolia tree, but the wood is sold in lumber stores as Poplar! It is a soft hardwood, good for making bowls on the lathe, etc. Also, FYI, Danial Boone had a 60' dugout canoe made from a Tulip tree. They grow fast, straight and large.

Oak will check ... Elm is much better for that purpose!

Matt sent me this picture of my Model 71 he took up at the cabin on a Chestnut Oak bench I milled with the chainsaw (see - I tied it into this thread)! Shows the engraving a little clearer.

Washing Machine!

My daughters cell phone takes better pictures than mine, so here is one she sent me showing how my tax dollars are being used to ruin my once pristine view up in the Catskills! I'm totally disgusted over it!

Some Venison Rump steaks from this year's Buck. They were just as tender and good tasting as the ones from the doe. That long muscle in the rump kinda looks like backstrap, and it is just as tender. Grilled rare, it was great! The tin foil has my wives marinate ... including sliced Ginger Root.

My bike trail Snapper was shy ... as soon as I stopped, he pulled his head in and lifted his rear end and didn't move! His shell was about 6".

I cut the lawn with my Cub Cadet 0 turn mower yesterday. Got it in the Spring of 2022, so going on its 3rd year of use. Checked the oil (Kawasaki Engine) just to make sure I was OK. Not only was it full, but it is still golden yellow! I'm impressed with this engine. Starts instantly every time!

On my "first day of freedom" from tax season, I cut the grass, fixed the fence, and went for a short/slow bike ride. I'll post a picture of the Snapping Turtle tomorrow (was not huge, but they are all prehistoric looking). Also saw about 20 Painted Turtles on a log, but no picture of that...

He was quite a guy! Owned and operated a hardware store, and I got my first two chainsaws through him.
