All the storms seemed to run out of steam around the Rogers area, so they were fairly tame when they came through my area, but I guess they regained some strength & wreaked some more havok up in Rolla MO. Weather here today was pretty nice, just a little windy.

OK I gotta try a pic to see if I still can do it. Hopefully it works.

 

[Work Saw Collector]

Yep it worked.

Timber resources still being utilized.

Yesterday, WKEND LUMBRJAK invited me to join him out at his dad's place, where they are logging some large walnut trees. The loggers were not working, it being New Years Day, so we cut up and hauled out a good load from the tops they left. I didn't get any pics of the wood we cut, but it wa interesting to see the results of the logging process. I must say, a skidder is one heck of a machine.

They cut the stumps out like this, so the tree will grow back, and in 30 or so years, they can come back and do it again. The logging outfit is a family operation, in business for several generations.

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Logging, I will let you know if the stumps shoot any sprouts. The guy told my dad they should get 1 or 2 sprouts per stump. i guess we will see.

Nice load of hedge John. If you need more Big and I are working on a hedge row and you can go out with us next time we cut.

Looks like it will be in driving distance for me again. Mapquest said approximately 3 hrs. I'll have to try to keep the dates open. Hey you got anything nice and easy to carve like a big ERCedar you could round up for me? Maybe I could will carve us up another GTG Souvenir! Hey Teach if you're coming down to this one be sure and bring the GTG sign or is it somewhere else already? Been to busy to keep up. Anyway looking forward to seeing you guys and meeting some others!

i guess if you need your saw you need your saw. wonder if it was tested and approved by UL.
