We took a walk today . Have a lot elderly people from NYC who have come up to their summer/ weekend homes. So we kept social distance but left pancake mix and my homemade syrup. Nice conversations got home there was 3 jars of honey on my porch

Just make sure they are the same chain or else the grinding gets tricky when cutters are different heights, etc. There's a Frankenstein 42" chain in my quiver that is part stihl part husqvarna. Keeps me on my toes when grinding both the cutters and rakers.
Yeah, common sense still applies.
Spinning a loop shorter just removes links: no problem there. Making a look longer requires 'donor' links from an identical chain: after spinning, I put them on the grinder and make them all the same. I try to use OEM components (presets, etc.) too.
I have seen chains with Oregon links mixed with identical, OEM branded links (e.g. Husqvarna, McCulloch, Makita, etc.) that were made by Oregon. I have seen low kickback links mixed with standard chain (have to get lucky where that kickback event occurs?). I have seen 'hash' chains (a little bit of everything thrown in), which mixed 3/8 low profile with full sized 3/8 components, full-chisel and semi-chisel cutters, etc. Some of those are in my chain salvage challenge thread.

With everyone home this upcomming Winter, firewood use should be significant. I wonder if anyone here is hording firewood.Probably only a mater of time. Will firewooding be an essential business? Price gouging firewood vendors dragged into the street and shot? Our prepper stacks requisitioned by the govt to keep the elderly warm this Winter? May we live in interesting times...

If I had that I wouldn't have needed to join different chain brands to begin with. Thought that was self-explanatory. Sheesh.
I had been thinking that it would wait until election time here, but I knew it was coming.
I've been waiting a long time to build my barn, things can only go so long without an adjustment and I didn't really want to pay as much as the current market is asking to build it. I'd have more into building the barn than we paid for the house, which was bought at the last half price sale, currently its "worth" 150% what we gave for it.
Unfortunately its been too good for too long, the price paid will be greater than it would have if they would have let it self correct. We have a fine way of messing things up in the name of progress and even in the name of protecting others, it seems we've enabled the problem rather than allowing people to suffer the consequences of our poor decisions
.It will be interesting to see how many can weather the fallout of the current situation through the end of the yr, let alone the long term.
You got that new Bluetooth saw lol.What? As if a guy can't do both.
Heading back out, later.
The wealth of actually scrounging pics inspired me to show the 5020 some love and cut up a few logs I had and a bunch of zogger wood.

I've been doing that for years

Sure, they all said I had a problem, but who's laughing now? Oh yeah, they stihl are.
Next closest tree in the neighbor's wood lot. Another cherry mostly suspended off the ground. It may be from the same tree a the last section I cut. It's astound 18" at the bottom so I figure a good section of trunk went with the loggers a few years ago. 
Dark on the outside but pink on the inside.

Did a little scrounging as the sun went down last night.
Then burned some brush piles today. May go split the stuff in the first pic tomorrow morning.
Near Renfrew, but seems the only Beer drive-thru is in Cobden!
No manual, bought as is. I think when I checked it last week the bucket was up and the boom was up. When I checked it yesterday the bucket was on the ground and the boom was down. With the cylinders retracted, that's a couple quarts in the reservoir. I put two quarts in it and that put it on full with the bucket down. With the bucket up, it's just a little low.

That dead standing pine was a bust , too wet for this year

Winter was so mild here I only used about 1 cord, usually 3.5-5 cord. Usually sell about 10 cord, only sold 4. I have a good start on next year.

Today’s scrounging.
A nice big ash that has been vertically seasoning. Ready to go right in the stove. Got to throw in a pic of my truck too[emoji847]
Just about got the trails cleared wide enough for me to make it all the way to the West side of my property driving along the south property line with my truck.
Good thing I didn’t actually go for it today. After walking through the trails back-and-forth with the wagon we started to notice that there was a bit of swampiness still left after you broke the first few inches of soil.[emoji15]
Would have been stuck guarantee.
