View attachment 638875Since the time went ahead, there is actually sunlight after supper so I sped off to scrounge site #2 and cut down 3 small dead elm (many many there) Yes that’s 3 trees in my truck!

You Canadians must have the massivesterest trucks on the planet to fit three whole trees in there. Me, I'm hoping to get a micro-scrounge in tomorrow with a lame Subaru and feeble trailer. I will, however, take the proper number of pics.

I declare my cutting season is OPEN. Back out to Von's to continue clearing that willow grove. Be taking the MS193, 210, 310 and 441. New MS362 stays home. I still haven't even fired it up, bought it about a month ago. Cleaning up burn piles and possible felling the first tree of the season. That one will land partially in the crop but owner doesn't care, just wants all t]he trees outa there!

Sold 2 1/2 cord of willow and 1 cord locust, delivered the locust today with plans to prepare the saws and tools for tomorrow but was late when I got back, will have to do it in the morning. That will mean a late start but it'll do for a season opener.

Wait, wait, wait. You have a new pony in the stable and you're not going to let it gallop?

I didn't think scrounging season ever closed.

If I don't want to get emails on a particular thread I just unwatchable that thread, then I watch it again and say alerts only. If I got emails for every thread I'm watching I would be in trouble, as it is I clean out hundreds of emails a week as part of my normal email :dizzy:.

Crap I kept thinking this was trying to prompt me to rewatch the thread lol
That's funny, but what isn't funny is how confused I was when I clicked on the attachment to see what you were talking about and then I was wondering what was up:dumb::sucks::lol:.
Back when they first came out with smart phones we would screenshot a picture of someones home screen and leave the camera open, when they opened their phone they couldn't figure it out :laugh:. Then they put passcodes on their phones lol.
Lol! i'm not the only one then!

right, thanks to chipper i think i'ved saved my inbox...fingers crossed
Hope it helps Neil.
You don't need a bunch of emails coming in from unimportant threads disturbing your scrounge time :D.

Didn't need it, that comesd tomorrow with noodling a bunch of rounds still there from last year.

Not a good day today out there. Age really showed up. 2 hours of stoopinp to pick up chunks, tossing or carrying, etc and I cleaned 3 burn piles into one. Totally beat out. Back tomorrow but with the truck hauling my mesh wagon to clean up some more, noodle those rounds, stack same. I should last a bit better as there'll be lest traveling between the trash and the disposal pile.

I was so tired that when I cooled down by playing "that tree will go t here, this one here, another over there, I wasn't even tempted to pull out the 441 and make one happen.

The porcupine were busy , they cleaned the bark off of every small tamarack on both sides , all you saw was bright yellow sticks down the road when the sun was out .
I went down the road a bit and cut some maple and birch to finish off the load of spruce :)

Got more of that oak split up by hand today. Practiced bore cutting for my next tree take down. Was going to clean out behind the clutch on my 590. Well, I did but when I put it all back together the E clip went flying.

I looked and looked and looked and got tired of looking so I ordered one on eBay. Figured while my saw was down for a little while I would finally pull the muffler and do a minimal mod right now and work my way to my liking. Right now just drilled 2 holes in the tube to try and open up a little bit then I’ll work my way to more extreme as I go. Don’t want it ear splitting loud, but do want it to breath better.
Anywho. Got back to splitting and I probably got 1/3 of it split by hand today and then pulled my car out to get supper. Low and behold I found the E clip and got it all back together. Going to try and put her in some wood in a few days and tune and run the two drilled holes for a while before I change.
All in all a good day.

Oh also his came flying out of one of the pieces I split today. Not sure what type of bug it turns into lol. It was in red oak if that helps.
