Winter just arrived yesterday. Cold air and snow to the tune of 5 inches or so. Enough to mess up my satelite internet. This morning found me in my sweatpants and hoodie inching precariously across my snow covered roof to brush the snow and ice from the dish so I could access this forum to see what was going on. Crazy? Not the brightest of ideas espicially since it was still dark but hey I like this place.
I don't generally work Fridays so that is my scheduled wood day and with the snow and winds yesterday I stayed home. Got out the trusty John Deere and snow blowed the drive and a trip to the local farm store was rewarded with a new chain, sharpening files, a new handle for files and a sparkplug for my 029 Super. A small puddle of drool on the floor from looking at all the nice new saws I simply blamed on snow covered boots. :drool:
Then I stacked all the wood I cut last weekend which had been piled in the garage awaiting colder weather (less mud). I laid down 4 pallets, drove in two T posts at each end and stood a pallet up against them.

Today I head to the woods to ready a bunch of timber for a future haul out. I want to have it all limbed and bucked into 4'-6' pieces so when I get a loaner quad for a day or so I can get it all out before giving up the machine.
I was truly amazed at all the chains hanging on the wall. I picked up the 3/8 chipper. The guy told me it doesn't have the anti-kickback feature that some of the others do.
I guess I will have to do some research on the anatomy of a chain.
I'm never too proud to admit I don't know something but I'll be damned if that isn't remedied quickly.
Have a great weekend!
