Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[mountainguyed67]

Started turning lake logs into firewood.

Running out of wood to scrounge, or just want to clean up the lake?

Only tree with green leaves I took down this year. Wife never agrees to it, except this one was close to house and over driveway. Had an area with fungus under bark and Mr Pileated convinced her, she wanted it removed. Removed rails from fence and dropped on drive. Cut into pieces I could lift and move, raining today, will process at later date. Logs and larger limbs, stacked small limbs. Almost passed out wife and granddaughter came out to help. WTH, praised their help, maybe they will help again.View attachment 857897View attachment 857898

Another load ready. Fell a dead standing honey locust, and the wind provided another nice ash. Final load for the boss man.

There are a couple pieces of elm from a dead standing one I fell this morning, but it was pretty light. Only grabbed a few chunks that were worth splitting.

Scrounged up some ducks this AM. Time to scrounge logs now.

Nice haul, of birds and lake wood.
What are the bolts thru the receiver.

You need sideboards so you can load it up like Nate .

Betcha' that's for mounting a scope. If he lived around my neighborhood I'd say it's for a spot light.

I was just telling the wife that I need to rig up some sideboard so I can actually put a decent load on the truck.

To hold scope mount from previous owner. I’ll only use it for fowling so will eventually replace it with regular pins.

This gun does point nicely. 26” non VR barrel with fixed modified. Two of the three ringers came off the wing today.

That poor rifle...

Making the lake safer. One of those bastards caused my outboard to go overboard yesterday (it’s up and running again) so I’m after them with a vengeance.

Agreed.

Internet picture, no idea who did it.

This morning's haul:
Goal was to get the trailer unloaded and the wood processed and stacked by the end of the day...

Spent the evening cleaning up around the playground. Finished my 3rd round stack yesterday. Plenty of BTU going to global warming as I burn up the twigs, ends, bark and splitter chips etc. 2 of those stacks will see me through winter 21-22. And between the 3rd, the log pile and logzilla, I will be solidly past 22-23. So next year can be a little more relaxed. Fall colors are coming on fast. Wednesday Mrs Jeff and I are off on the last camping trip of the season and hope to see lots more Autumn glory!

This afternoon:

And there we go, nothing left but a couple unsplittables.

Suddenly I feel like John Candy in The Great Outdoors eating the "old 96er" streak... that's not the last bite... there's nothing but gristle and fat left...

I think I might have welded that, after several adult beverages obviously.

Dang, you tore it up today

Glad you said that, I feel better saying it looked like crap now, but I still would have said it

Hope I remember this post before I let you borrow anything .
