Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

My trips out to the woodshed at the moment are like trips down scrounge memory lane. I have two main bays that hold 5.5 cord each but generally don't burn a whole bay each year. So, rather than leave the same wood in the back of each bay for ever, I'd move it across to the other bay somewhere in the middle. But some bits would find themselves getting moved back and forth for a number of years. I assume that all you blokes are just like me and know which tree each piece of wood they burn came from, right? Am I right? 
This piece of manna gum...
came from this scrounge from way back in April 2016
Good times. That was before I got Limby, the 460 was my go-to saw back then. I'll see what else is in the shed.

Oi! One post please didn't you read Steve's message! 
Although I think our Texan lumberjack was the main offender and the two pages of posts yesterday.
And yes I remember certain splits, less common trees, hard to split logs and so on.

They pulled the brick pavers, pulled all but that center ornamental tree. There were a couple Stihl saws there too, but the excavator with thumb pulled everything out instead. Then the excavator rolled into my woods and collected three large rocks/boulders to use in the fresh landscape. In the meantime a couple of guys scraped the moss and poly sand off the bricks, re-leveled the bed and re-layed the bricks. I considered doing this myself, my wife declared me unfit for this duty, and I assume guessed how long it would have taken me. So, the pros came Monday morning and completed this in 4 hours. If you have another 2:50 interest, I played around with my drone and compiled this quick summary:Looks like a redmax backpack blower too.
Are they resetting the papers, or removing them.
Lehighton. So north and east. Not a bad drive really.
I call bull on that duty cycle... had mine so hot the one day I thought it would catch fire. Had all 100 feet of rope out, plus All the chain I had trying to get a big oak log out in 20 foot sections...... 5 min run and took more like a half hour to cool off before It felt semi cool.
Guess I should add this is the same winch that was on munold f-150 frommoit four wheeling days, then migrated to the deck over. Still works, still pulls whatever out and on I need. Warn makes great winches, but if tour not using it daily there's no need to pay those prices.
I also got that escape this morning. Pretty nice shape, didn't bother to (you know what) him down at all. Loaded it up and headed for home. Got home just in time to change and head for work. I'll have a bit of time in the morning to mess with it tomorrow. 90% sure I know what the problem is already. Till I can confirm, I'll say he threw all the wrong parts at it and all it should need is a small harness repair and a new fuse.... love my cheap beater cars lol.
prolly after SR is done shredding... he will be out there running a finish mower....Need me to bring my L3800 and the 5 footer over.
i counted one, did i miss someone...?Morning field mowers and all the rest.
i think SR's travel trailer set up is pretty slick! almost looks as if the Rancher made the cut out just for him....Yep, but for the most part trailers will be stored outside.
I could always just add two ft onto that bay right at the door
'it's the next right, just up ahead....'
the 75 G3 they used to whizzz thru tree limbs along power lines at my place had an awesome winch. doubt much it could not yank on out....
pro level
as i read ur reply to my question - you are saying 50K Tons? 50,000 Tons?Little bit of tonnage, little bit of what type of specialty equipment needed to haul them, and a little bit of what is needed on the receiving end for setup, all adding up to a lot of little bits
Rocks get real heavy, before they get real big, and really big rocks are crazy heavy, and nor easy to move as most don't have the equipment to move them.
not my idea of a lot of little bits!
just sayin'
not on a small tractor and if it has no shade... especially after breakfast or lunch and close to 100f!
