I must admit, I'm a seasonal visitor. I think this is my third year. Four years ago I used a craftsman 14" chainsaw and thought the only way to make a tree fall over is with a chain and a truck. Now I have two stihls and a selection of sharpeners, wedges, woodsplitter, etc. So, you all must be steering us in the right direction, thank you.

I spend way too much time thinking about firewood and not enough time gathering firewood. It's been a busy year for me, I still have three more cords to get for THIS WINTER :msp_ohmy: Good thing standing-dead lodgepole will dry out in a few days next to the stove. If I wait much longer, I'll have to burn pellets

It was raining yesterday, I decided that the computer beat the TV.
I did go out for a bit to make sure the new roof I put on the deer blind Saturday was water tight. It is and isn't to nosiy even though it is metal.

Yep.....got the itch and want to see what everyone is up to as well.....happens every year. Myself, just waiting to pull the trigger on the first fire. Here in central Jersey that won't be till around the first of November. I have some nice 2 year seasoned splits earmarked for the occasion.

Sometimes I sit back and realize how ridiculous it is how many forums I belong to, how many sites I check daily/weekly/etc, and how my time varies across the web! Seems I go in waves since there's only so many surfing hours in a day. Of course there's sites I always ghost (like this one) even if not posting actively just to keep tabs. Really though, it's nuts! There's too much info on the web and I want to read it all!

Supposed to be in the mid 80's by the weekend, hard to worry about winter quite yet.

 

[farber56]

Winter may be close. But not close enough for the first fire. So far I've only burned some cottonwood blow down and cedar in the fire pit for the wife and kids. Any fire is fun though. Especially with the family.

You could always sell a few!

We could all move to Florida and sit around and play cards or shuffleboard. Then we could talk about the good old days when men were men and how we use to cut firewood to keep warm. Nah aint gonna happen.
