Thanks, hopefully it doesn't get too dry. That looks like fun. Can't get much wood on it though. Lol.Enjoy the green, Nate. We'll be dry and krispy out here before you know it! Nice load of pine there.

Haha! That's my recon vehicle for scoutin' out all the good snags!
Slit wood this morning, the pile is growing! In the afternoon, dropped 3 trees, all very tall (& some smaller ones). A 16" diam Shag Bark Hickory, a 30" daim Red Oak, and a 26" diam Smooth Bark Hickory.
Did not have time to cut them up, just did a little limbing. Sorry no pics, I was too busy! Also, I'll be away for the WE up at the cabin!
He is putting a pool in, and he and the wife did not want the trees!

I was actually going to ask if that's what it was, lol, should work good!
Sounds like nice trees.
That's why he needs all of those big ported saws!
Hauled a half cord of previously split wood and then split up and hauled another half cord. New lovejoy in the splitter with a bit more tolerance and we are back in business.
I may try to get some boards out of them. I got so much firewood cut & split, and demand likely will be soft this year as no one burned what they had last year.
I split a bunch of Black Birch again this morning, I swear that stuff is as stringy as Elm! Glad I'm not doing it by hand, that stuff would drive me nuts!

Oh-also I scrounged this for $2 yesterday.
Good to have a a comfortable place to file!

Some more followed me home yesterday. New stuff is sitting on the ends. Got to get some splitting in this week. This stuff won't be burned until we start arguing about the 2020 election.

Was able to get a small load of very nice dry red fir with my son today, great day, cooler temps, spending time with my son while his girl friend is out of town. 
My son finally got to use his new 661 on a real tree, my ported 064 will still beat it though.

Had to get a load of cooking wood today. Saw 1 rattlesnake so the rest of time everything stick or branch I stepped on in waist high grass I thought would bite me.

Hello what type of wood is that?? Mesquite maybe
Cut lots of wood with the circular saw today.
Went from this:
To this: Just need 1.5 more panels and I can trim it out. The last one that the lumberyard delivered was all scuffed so I'll save it for non presentation type of projects.

Good Stuff, common in Nevada!
Well guys it'sbeen a while. I have been quite busy as my wife just finished up the school season teaching.
We were coming back from Ohio yesterday and I got a call that I the tree company I get wood from had some excess they needed out of a site. No problem I'm on it. So I stopped by the house and got the suburban and trailer and off we went.View attachment 509358View attachment 509359 I have also scrounged up a few saws recently. So I bet you guys can guess what the plan is for today.View attachment 509360View attachment 509361
good pix, chipster... I guess it's true... you are always in the chips!
