I scrounged a bit of firewood today and cut it over an old trailer I have, that's waiting for me to mill out a new floor for it. Here's a little of it,
This wood is so dry, if needed, I could burn it this spring yet...

Lost 5 chickens the past few days hawks and bald eagles.
I'm done
Sure nice to see all the firewood pictures. Looks great! 
Nice here today, supposed to snow next 4 or 5 days so did a little milling today
sure nice to be outside and run a saw for a bit.

Thanks to every one for the best wishes. It's kind of funny, but on my birthday I always feel a little down. I really miss Larry, Sagetown. He was the first one to send me a birthday greeting, and I had never corresponded with him before that. So, I propose a toast, Cheers to old friends.

Love that truck.
Cheers to my old friend, highly valuable black walnut.
I actually had to go back out and get a quick pic before dark so cowboy didn't yell at me again.

Was hoping to play with some saws tomorrow, but they’re calling for rain. Ugh.
Have decided I want to cut up Gramp’s 254. Was watching some videos about “squish” using a 261 gasket, muff mod, etc. Trying to decide on weather I want to do the work, or send it to someone who knows what they’re doing.
Also hoping to snag a couple more 254s for parts, etc. I was really looking hard at chipper’s 346, but I think I like the 254 better.
Dang huskies are growing on me...

I cut/split/stacked some beautiful black walnut last summer/fall. I almost felt bad... almost.
Another day another few loads!
Beautiful day here.
Scrounged up two tires for the truck (the top two).
Honkers are back

Threw a few pieces of the applewood to see if they would go.Lots of hissing, and moisture out of the one log so I told the one buyer that “needed enough wood to get through the quarantine to burn in her pit” that it was a no go.
Cut in October, split within the last 3 weeks, moisture meter read under 20 to 11%, nice cracked/split ends yet it still hissed and produced moisture?

OBS PSD Two tone. Love his truck and his pics of the Idaho country side.
Stihl wet inside, I imagine. Pity about that. I suppose you don't really need to worry about creosote in the firepit but the hissing is a bit annoying. Then again, if she's old she might have lost the upper frequencies in her hearing so maybe she won't notice.
