Spruce for oak and hickory?Yup concrete ftw!
Log yards without it areespecially on the west coast....
It's looking really good buddy.... you'll be a real "logger" yet.....
Man, I'd like to trade you some oak and hickory for a couple loads of that spruce...
It was very nice wood. Most of the rest of it is suspended a foot or more off the ground and won't be as quick and easy to scrounge as there's a lot of weight there.
I will go back, though. I have to. Because it's there.

Today's work.
Minus the tops. I got ten 12' logs out of the two snags. I gave the tops to a couple elder neighbors.
The deck is getting bigger all the time!
Cut safe, stay sharp, and be aware!

You can still get used hot oil undercoating here in VT. They deal in syrup and firearms.

Hmmmm
Bar oil for the win.
Me too, but in the end "those days will be cut short".
Looks like quite a bit of devastation last evening/night from the tornadoes and high winds.
It could be, and don't doubt that man has some control over it, but doubt that it's the direction they want you to look currently(carbon). Weather control/manipulation goes way back and its a known fact that countries and companies have been doing it. It even talks about it and that countries cannot use it against their own people in the Geneva Convention
, and how long ago was that. There's a reason it never rained during the Olympics in china.I believe in both.
Man has often tried to play God, nothing new here.
Like momma always said, you get what you get and don't throw a fit
.Good to see you sir
.That's beautiful, great picture.
We've seen very little accumulation this yr. I think I used the tractor to clear the drives once and my neighbor did once, mainly just to do something it looked like to me.
Man are those some straight sticks.
I like seeing all the huge loads of white pine, here a load containing hardwood would be two of those bunks on an eight axle trailer with a semi set up to haul heavy(heavier steer and drive axles and a few other options), grossing around 165k.
I loaded a buddy up with some cherry Thursday and the second trailer he brought over we had to air the tires up(they still had the summer air in them
), the u-bolts were dragging on the ground, I bet it wasn't more than 2500 lbs lol. At least the 2500 suburban I helped him buy had no problem hauling it.Probably looked like this going down the rd
.
I ride my motorcycle year round in PA. An ACF-50 coating helps keep the corrosion to a minimum.
Soon, maybe lol. The rear add a leaf I’m looking at will lift it 1.5” and add about 500lbs capacity to the spring pack. Like to add 2.5” to the front as well. Turbo back exhaust and a tune for the type s sounds like fun too, Just money right?Time for a rear suspension upgrade.
If the helpers don’t add enough, I’ll probably just add timbrens to it.
Yesterday, sidewalks were clear, and you could see a lot of bare ground. Maybe 4 to 6 inches? NOT April Fools!

All I had left in my yard before this was where the snow got piled and where it drifted deep. I guess there is a reason I refer to our state as Minnesnowta.

they get $1400
That was the thing back in the day. I'm sure it's still done
Reminds me of my 76 Chevy 1/2 ton. I had to put some logs in the front passenger floor a few times to get it to steer better. But I can say that the say the springs had seen better days

There used to be ads in craigslist here In Mass from VT or NH for that.

That's why I still have the chains on the tractor. H chains in the rear make for a fun ride but they let me push wet snow uphill.
For a minute there I forgot what day it was and was trying to figure out how to respond!You guy that just bought battery saws should have waited.
Kinda like when Trek came out with their replacement Carbon Fiber Collar bone for all the bikers that had broken theirs. The replacement was lighter and stronger than the original!!! That also went on sale on April 1.
