Hit the splitter pretty hard tonight. Almost got my scrounge pile down to nothing. Everything I cut green this year, I just bucked and stacked to split in the spring.

Just missed a frost here. 35* with a slight breeze, which kept the air stirred up just enough. Wood fire felt good.
We have had to close the windows a few nights, but no heat yet, but it is coming, you can feel it!

i would scrounge this but you need a 60'' bar on a 3120xp or ms880 to even it touch it

That looks like the tree of life from Disney! Is it still alive?

yes it is it could use a trim but i don't bother it, it has lived this long i might as well let it keep living i guess the tree is around 400-500 yrs old
Get about 6 gallons of syrup from that monster alone!
That's an incredible tree. I've never seen a maple like that before.
Hate to say this, but are you sure? It does not look like a Maple to me, looks more like a big old White Oak. I've just never seen a Maple branch like that.
Perhaps a variety I'm not familiar with.

From looking at the limbs that was my first thought too

Those dead limbs sure seem to look like oak. A pic of a leafed out branch ?

This weather has been great here. 50's at night 70's during the day. Great sleeping with the windows open weather. But I can feel fall coming and know that this week or the next I need to get on the ladder and clean the chimney. I hate ladders but I need to climb the 30' and do the yearly ritual.

Maybe just around here in the SE, but I don't recall seeing any white oaks that branch that close to the stump...generally the first branches are 10-20 feet in the air with oaks that are nowhere near that size in diameter. Certainly could be wrong though. It's a helluva tree regardless of what it is.

Can you NorEasters hold back on the chill a bit? I'm heading your direction Friday.

Too bad you couldn't wait a few weeks for the foliage to color up. It's still nice during the day though with temps in the 60s and low 70s. Perfect as far as I'm concerned!

Speaking of color up. I cant wait to get back to watkins glen,ny Oct 15ish for more fishing, wine, and of course the fall colors.
to warm to work here yet with out sweating your ash off ! cutting 3(6 cords boiler wood 26"/28" rounds) truck loads a day will put me through 5 t- shirts before the days end! cant wait for the first frost to halt the gnats and fly's.
Went to scrounge another dead elm. Turned out to be poplar. Hard to tell with no bark. Dropped anyways and chunked it up for the landowner as a thanks for the other trees he has given me.
