Had to go back and find it.Had there been anything to it, there wouldn't have been a house standing over in this part of the country. We weren't even all that careful about it being dry.
Yep here in central Indiana its very taboo. Never heard of anyone regularly burning pine til I heard y’all talking about it on here. It has been beat in to my head for years not to burn pine. Legend has it that just a few weeks of burning it will cake your flu and burn the house down. Probably started by someone who always burn too low a temp, that being more of the problem than the wood itself.
Some scrounge off the lake, wasn't much fun with 50mph wind gusts temps in the teens and near whiteout snow squalls. But the echos powered thru with reckless abandon. 3 wheeler performed flawlessly as expected.
Sweet saws Bob, i seen yellow and a hint of green
I have a carb kit Coming for a 500 VL. Kind of anxious to run it.
The green is actually a bag of milk replacer for the lambs. It is a perfect Pouln green though! Wish I had the 4000 fixed. Would like to have ran it today
Me too, looking forward to a review of it by a expert sawyer.
Cs-400 14" cs-590 24" + extra large felling spikes for me today. My 590 hasn't ran in 10 mo and was stored in non heated garage, fired right up in 4-5 pulls
Windy here too, bringing the warm weather for the rest of the week
.Of course the Honda worked great
.
Anyone need a new scrounging ride.
I’ll let you know when I find the expert!! Lol
I meant you
you have a wide variety of saws you use and work on so should be interesting to see how it performs.
The trip north today was 7/8 of a tank (15gal) of gas going north, half a tank heading south due to wind direction and speed.

You're more man than me! I thought about venturing up to the woods today, but that frickin' wind is brutal!!!!

I miss the big red 350 I used to ride.
I wish I could find a 4000 for a decent price.
I need a crew cab. But I'll wait a little longer till fuel prices drive the price down to what these trucks should go for.
Actual spot where Shackleton‘s ship ‘Endurance’ was discovered under 2 miles of ice. Happens to be adjacent to my house.

My stack was getting low and I remembered a friends neighbor had his land clear cut a year or so ago and I went to get some spoils a few weeks ago. The woods were mature hardwoods and tons of leftover tops. I went into the brush looking for wood close to the edge so I didn't have to carry it too far to the truck, just cut and move the truck. I found a large white oak top that was starting to rot but had lots of branches off the ground/easy cutting. I saw a tree that looked like a Sourwood on the ground and passed. I went back to get the last few logs I cut and looked closer at that tree. It was a Hickory about 12" and was cut w a feller and the base of the tree was on the the stump and 30' up the trunk was on another stump and the whole trunk was off the ground ! I cut it all up and even stuffed the small branches in the truck too. It was easy to split the dried out hickory and it burns slooow and hot and I broke up the branches w my hands.....I've been getting pallets from where I work and burn a lot of that wood. I don't get the pine pallets, just the hardwood. I use a cordless circle saw to cut them up quick. Last week we had a 80* day, right now it's 37 and the wind chill is 27....starting the fire right now.

I am waiting as well for fuel prices to bring the truck cost down. I would love to get a 2000-2006 Chevy 1 ton with the 8.0 in it Work truck si fine and a regular cab with an 8' bed.
Good stuff there. I had to re boil my last batch and add water. I boiled it until it got foamy but that was to thick. I had maple sugar crystals in it, good but addictive stuff ( MAPLE CRACK)
Always here this in New England, people have a hard time getting rid of it. I just missed out on a free truckload of it 2 weeks ago. When I have room there is a guy on craigs list giving away truck loads of it, just have to pay $250 for the trucking. Once my pile goes down I'll be calling him back. I don't mind pine in the wood stove or the OWB. Dry for the house and boiler just doesn't care, I mix it in with hardwood for coals.
