Just got an email, bought a 441 Artic at an auction, $600 Can. There was 2 more 261's there too but I'm on "probation" because I had high bid on too many items at the same time so it wouldn't let me bid on them. They went for around $330. Decent shape from our Township. Told my wife and she said "I thought you were buying a brand new one" I told her with the money I saved I can buy another brand new 261. Big Amish sale in the morning in Elmira and then Shackletons at Lyons on Saturday. Some days I work too hard.

Conversation went something like this:
"Interested in some locust I cut?"
Me: "Sure. The pics are locust and pine."
"You want the pine? There's more."
Me: "I'll take both."
"You will be my wife's hero!"
Me: "See you after work."

There is another load to pick up, probably get to it next week.

Its about time we got snow instead of tshirt weather in November.

 

[woodchip rookie]

hey pal...I dont mind Tshirt weather in November. Or any other month for that matter. Its 32 Murkan here with ice on everything and raining. With wind.

 

[James Miller]

Sounds like the kind of weather that leads to scrounging opportunities. Wish we had winters like in the 90s more often.

 

[woodchip rookie]

yea there will branches/trees down but im not getting any of it. I have plenty & I'm not cutting wood in 35 degree rain

 

[woodchip rookie]

Scratch that...parents got stuff down in the yard from the ice....niece's bday party sat. Bringin saws and loppers.

Bought the start of a big log arch today, it's an irrigation gun and some other crap. Buzz saws went for what they were worth so I didn't get any. She scrapped the last irrigation gun I bought, I was just about to use it too after it had been sitting there for 4 years. Damn, women can be so impatient.

This was all I got cut, split and stacked today. Old mossy oak limb and a small piss elm it took down with it. Went for a hike to see where to go next. Have a nice hole of oak, cherry and boxies but some have been there a very long time. Takes about 6 buckets like this to make a cord.

Sposed to snow later on. I didn't want to start pulling anything out that wasn't going to be stacked in the shed before dusk.

Side note. I got a couple of these in the mail. At 2 for the price of 1 Stihl chain I had to at least try em. These were $11 each shipped vs right around $20 for the "New" Stihl chain.

A little snow on the scrounge pile

 

[Deleted member 150358]

Only snow left here is on the north roof and shaded edge of the lawn. Weather forecast has updated now it could miss us. That's alright by me.

 

[cantoo]

It's a wet nasty mess of melting snow here. I'm going a couple of hours south tomorrow so don't expect much snow there. Glad I stacked all the limb wood into crates last weekend. Have to put my tractor tire chains on it on Sunday.
