Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[cantoo]

Why do women have to start a conversation with " I told you so"? A buddy would have said " dang it Cooter I thought you'll woulda been able to drive thru 6' of snow drifts, you was robbed buddy here's your beer back".
I shouldn't have driven down the hill, trying to get back up wasn't near as much fun. I didn't get very far.

You must have liked a couple conservative videos.

That’s the funny thing, I haven’t even done that!!! Billy Ray is the only thing I watch and I rarely interact on those.

A few randoms from today.

Rant. I made up a few cookie cutting videos which I uploaded to YouTube for y’alls viewing.

A few minutes later I get an email that my YT account has been terminated for multiple violations. To add insult to injury I can appeal but I need the link to my videos which I cannot get because my account is closed.

I’ve never had a violation on there and my channel includes saw videos, birds/animals eating from my hand, and one video from an air show. And I only actively follow chipper1, huskil, and buckin billy Ray. And my very few comments were always positive.

Go figure.

Buckin Billy's a funny dude!

The spur has 6t so more torque than with the 7t rim .
At 7t chain speed is what you gain but you need a lighter hand .
I run the 6t .

Good to know.

I’ll stick with the Spur, as this sucker CUTs! Where has this saw been all my life??!!

Totally impressed. More to come, including pics.

When you are ready give it a muffler mod, it will cut even faster!

Is it scrounging if it’s your own woods? LOL

Spent some time in the woods, started on the downed ash I mentioned before, only cut about 7-10ft and it’s to a point where I need to pull it out with the tractor. The boy took some video of my first cuts with the 241. Will upload them ASAP.

Had a good scare with the the first felling with the 241. Had a locust that was leaning bad as the stump had partly started to lean/pull out of the ground. It was right over my one trail, so I wanted to get it down before I did any other work to the trees that were right by it, including that ash. Well I didn’t notch it because it was already leaned over so much I figured I would cut it at an angle and just let her drop with its own weight. Well halfway through the cut it’s snapped and freaked me out and my saw got stuck for just a second and I jumped back. It let got as it partially fell into the top of another tree, and tossed my saw on the ground. Zero damage thankfully, and no injuries either. I used the tractor to pull it down, and started bucking. I was totally blown away at how fast the 241 cut.

I cut some locust, sugar/hard maple, ash, and the “mulberry”. More on that later, as I have some good side-by-sides of the locust and suspect mulberry.

Will post more later, the wife is yelling at me for taking to long.

Y'all only added three pages in the time it took me to read 30 to get caught up with scrounging firewood. Now I can go get caught up on the other threads I read.

Thanks for the entertainment.

Little comparison of some wood from today.

locust, what I’ve always called Honey locust.



Locust left (with some thorns I left on for the pic), dead ash on the right):


Mulberry. The yellow was cut today, the orange/brown was cut this summer. Same tree.

A mix of the mulberry from today and this summer that I had cut, all the same tree (the locust and ash are there too still):

I suck!





I'm on good terms with the local arborist who was nice enough to drop off these nice peppermint logs yesterday. These are for local community bonfire material in May and he says he'll drop off as much as I want. Seems a shame to use what is otherwise very nice firewood in a bonfire but this is what he had on the day. I'll keep it in log form until the week of the bonfire then cut into rounds (4 per log) and use them to make the core.

Seems like the smurf has been getting lots of run time lately!

I'm really liking that saw for what I've been cutting this winter , walk around with it all afternoon.
About a tank and a half per outing , starts easy and real fast to sharpen now that it sports a 12" bar .
It is a dog until you gut and port the muffler .

Not me. Guarantee something poisonous lives under those white boards and would come out and bite the hell out of me when I hollered "Wee" while going down it.

Spotted this at the local medical center. Was hoping to scrounge a ride around the block but no one was around. Probably inside doing rich doctor stuff.

In saw related news the mcsinderblock has great compression and spark. Looks to have seen very little use. Going to do fuel line and go through the carb then give it a try.

Dayum!!!

So, looking online, the wood that I thought was mulberry, looks similar to black locust.

I’m trying to find the pics of when it was alive this summer, as it had fallen onto my bridge that goes into my woods.
