Probly could have gone a little more. Was only going to the other side of the house. Beats making the trip 5 times with the tractor to move the same amount.

Hey Clint !!!

You Aussies and Kiwi amaze me everyday. Just watched a video that showed up this week of a “bloke” that caught a a barundi and a salty comes flying out of the water and chases them until it gets close enough to grab the fish and swallow it. Scrounging wood near water would be out of the question.

Ah that's normal. get wood get a feed of fish and what ever else wants to jump on the line even get a pair of boots and a wallet out of it too if ya want.

Went out yesterday with the 394 to sort out a good size Peppermint, got 2 ute loads out of it, it's a bit of a bugger to split with it's twisted grain but doable just!

Hello scrounging nuts,looks like I'll have a new toy (saw) in a couple of months, hope my other saws don't feel inadequate with a masterminded saw beside them

My t540 doesn't feel inadequate next to my 395. They all have their place.

Once this snow melts away I better get to this stack quickly or there will be nothing holding it up! The outside is leaning. I've been walking along kicking the top over as the snow recedes.

In about 2.5 weeks I'll be free … but right now I am just buried in work!!!

Just so you know I'm not biased, I cut some spruce today.

 

[James Miller]

Another load moved. I'll be stacking the rest from the bed of the truck as I'm already stacking over my head and that oak from Brian's place is heavy.

Looks great James.
Do the dogs try and pull the bottom pieces out .

 

[James Miller]

The dogs prefer the crab apple on the smaller racks out front.

Jeff, as you cut, leave some limb wood at 2.5x stove length and a couple of rows from the top of your stacks use these pieces to 'link' the 2 rows, they then hold each other up

There is some of that in there. The wind comes out of the west and hits the fence side. Many cycles shakes it loose anyway. I don't stack as high as I used to. I have even thought of using a cargo net or something to secure the stacks. Maybe some snow fence....

Back in 82 "some guy" came up with an idea for a graduation prank.
In 83 the "same guy" scrounged up an abandoned Vdub in the woods and then assembled a team of 8 and executed the prank .
"They" were never caught, 2 days later "They" even volunteered to take it down and hauled it away with the same truck after the school principle asked for volunteers .

We used an axe and a hacksaw to separate the body from the chassis then we loaded it onto my grandfather's 74 Chevy stepside 1/2 ton, drove it about 10 miles under the cover of darkness and unloaded it .
I was told that at the 25th year grad reunion many were still asking who did it lol

I swear that it was heavier coming off that roof than when we put it up there lol


**** , did I say "I" and "We" ?

 

[dancan]

I guess I've been a scrounger for a long time lol

We were not quite that bad! We stole a 6' high wooden rabbit that was being used as an advertisement and put it on top of a car and relocated it on the lawn of one of my friend's girl friends.

I don't think her parent's were amused!
