Needed a boat to get into the job this morning.
The county ditch blew all to hell yesterday evening and tried to take my driveway with it.

Pinched er balls deep huh?Started the morning playing dominos to drop a birch without hitting a power line.
Then got into some gnarly softwood and pinched the saw when the log shifted.
Here's my way of unpinching a saw.

Heard abt you guys on the radio today. You better get them dam garbage cans tucked in!
Yea its a chattering prick to cut. It listens pretty good though as long as your not to low on the stump where the grain gets wavy.

Fastest way to put a good day into a bad one blow up a good falling saw bucking and bumping knots.

A little wood road clean up before the winter storms start and knock the trees into the power lines along the road. Took yesterday off as the wind was to high for cutting alone so decided to spend some time with my daughter and take her to get her ears pierced

Some pics from a job this summer. This 80 acres was cut over hard two years ago by a previous landowner. The current landowner decieded to cut the rest, save the hickory and put beef cattle in. Prior to me showing up all old stumps and slash were pulled, piled, and burned.
Early morning landing.
These guys were nuts and burned on some seriously windy days. They seemed to have it under control tho. Nothin got hurt.
Nice Hickory save tree. Not sure how long it will stay upright having grown up in the woods. The landowner was made aware of that fact several times.
One of four landings. The knee to waist high grass got old when cutting. Skidding was like in a park tho!
One of the bigger red oaks. There was decent timber on this job. I would have liked to have seen it before it was hammered the first time.

Just some random stuff. I had to get out of this woods as soon as it was dry due to a hunting stipulation in the contract. Everything had to hit the ground without help from the machine.
Had to buck the back one off to get it to go. The near and under side were rotten so I had to buck the far side to get it to go.
Stump from the vertical tree.
Hard pulled red oak.
Cleaned up pretty nice. I need to get a camera. This phone sucks.

Some from last week. Lots of clean tall ash in this woods. I've been wanting to cut this tree for years. Its in a park near the house. too bad it didn't have another 50 years to grow. EAB.
Laid out. 6 10ftrs. Not my tallest, but no limbs til the top.
The red oak in the distance and the ash were leaned hard at each other and tangled up. I knew the ash would swing out and pull the oak with it. Got the oak cut up tight just before she wanted to pop, then cut the ash from the Dutchman side towards the pull side.
Pulled more out of the ash than I wanted but it cleaned up ok.
Springpole! Normally I would have cut this out first, but in the park they want to save as much as possible
