A few days ago we took advantage of the snow and a burn day, and burned our pile. It was slow getting started with all the moisture, but eventually took off pretty good. I was figuring out placement of the diverter valve to work my grapple while the pile was burning, that’s why you can see the loader in one picture. After the last picture we threw the unburned stuff around the edges into the fire, it was too hot to be there very long at all. There was a good amount of manzanita in the pile, manzanita burns really hot.
Yep, nice to be able to help others out, and anything to take out a few steps.
Bringing dead standing wood in right after cutting is nice too, no stacking and waiting. I brought a full wheelbarrow load, and a large armload of dead standing this week, a little work/space saved goes a long way. So far out of the 11 rows of wood for this yr in the woodshed I've used 3, may have a little left over as we stated burning consistently early this yr. Yep @H-Ranch 3/11ths lol.
Saturdays go too quick.
Brought my son to town, took a couple of work calls, and made a dump run. Now it’s almost 2:00 and I haven’t gotten any real projects done.

No, no I think you're saying it wrong @chipper1 ...
1 armload
+ 1 wheelbarrow load
= 1 and 13/4ths armloads
Or if you want to stick with rows, you've used 9/3rds rows of firewood so far.
Well... I've painted the laundry room today (Christmas gift for wife.) Which turns into clean entire room, take cabinets down, reattach baseboard, replace washer supply hoses, relocate washer, spackle holes and poorly finished drywall, repair washer ground wire, tighten washtub legs, build shelf, and so on...
And that's not even counting the additional things she wants yet - light fixture, clothes hanging rack, and more.
So yeah, you done good today! LOL
No bugs
Gf came up for a few days, added a lil romance, keeping it real ya know!

Don't eat the snow with the sprinkles guys

Well my tax write off/ Christmas present, unicorn saw showed up today, thanks thechainsawguy
462 R Arctic
Should breath well
Great looking saw Nate!!! Curious about how that muffler performs....
I also put shoes and new marker stakes on the plow and plowed my neighbors driveway.
Heading to look at a snowmobile for my son now.

Thanks Ryan. Yeah me too, it’s from Egan performance saws, according to timed cuts and dyno 6-8 % gains on most saws. I installed a similar one on my other 462
and it ran noticeably better I thought. I know some guys don’t like front outlets because of torque loss but felt like it gained torque to me.
Nice saw, man! My ears are bleeding from here!
haha
Super jealous!
Got after the rest of the wood from next door today.
It's all from the one tree, the dry bits were from the dead top which has been dead for at least 7 years . We'll burn that first up next winter. The rest is a mix of elbows, burls, knots and a few straight bits. I'll work it up over the next couple of days and see how it looks.
A couple of face cord all up including yesterday, I guess. I also picked up the smaller dry bits that will do nicely for the firepit in April.

I got caught by a thunderstorm before I finished cleaning up all the junk but that has now passed so I might sneak out now and grab that.

Speaking of deductions, my wife and I paid off our cell phone contracts. Most of the major providers bend you over the barrel to either buy the phone outright or pay a monthly installment If you want a better quality phone. We paid off the remaining balances on our devices on 12/31. Provided nobody else breaks their phone, our break even for cost is about 12 months.
I liked the old days where you could get a free upgrade every 24 months. Now you are tied into a 30 month contract at 20-40 bucks per month installment.
I hate the phone companies. As soon as I retire (if I live that long) I’ll be ditching the smart phone.
