OT, Love & Hate
My 029 Super to 039 conversion is breaking my nads.
That Chinese short block , (supposed to be press/vac tested) leaked like a sieve.
Pulled it down and found the piston had scored, ran lean. Couldn't get the mixture right.
Did get it cleaned up and almost have it back together again. Just have to mount the clutch, FW and carb, easy stuff.
I'm getting to hate that saw. I think grandson Mikey needs an other Stihl. He likes them.
Back to wood, I went down to the brook and cleaned up some of that mess the beavers made when they clear cut the back lot, lot of Zogger wood and did find couple dead standing I'll get to later, after I finish splitting that Tree Service dropped off wood.
A trailer load at a time, split and stack only four more cord and I'll be looking for more wood.
Mikey, grandpa needs more wood. I love that kid.
Shark Week on TV, I hate sharks, don't tell me how cute they are, just tell me which one are good to eat.

tuna better! but
no beaver pond pix?..... 
hate to hear about that 'overseas' aftermarket stuff...
Ran the Dolmar for a while this morning cleaning up a couple of blowdowns and a widow maker from a hunting trail.
I actually did scrounge some wood too. Found 4 pieces that had fallen out of the wagon from the load I brought home a couple weeks ago.

Scrounged up another small load of red fir, was a couple of pretty nice trees, prolly at least 2 more loads left on the hill yet.

Nice load, what is the pink sticker attached to the block? You sure have some pretty trees out there.
Big sky's up here today
Since winter is just around the corner I figured I'd better get some wood hauled roadside for pickup at a later date .
Sugar maple and a stick of birch in one pile , 3 pine and a black spruce in the other .

Thanks, it's a permit tag for cutting wood on national forest, it's $12 cord and have to have tags on wood.

Logger nate, those logs look perfect for Swedish candles. Standing dead work really well. People around here charge $10 to 25 each for them. Google Swedish Candles for more pictures and info. Selling 2 candles per cord would pay for your permit pretty quick. I've been burning cedar ones lately.
I didn't cut, split or scrounge this weekend. But I did make my first sale of the season. Half a cord to a cottager. That'll pay for my gas, oil and bar lube for the year.
Thanks cantoo, I'll have to look into that, never seen anyone use them here, might be a good seller.

Good to see you fellers still scroungin'. I don't know how you guy's do it in the heat some of you are having. Been nice up here, highs in the 70's and 40's at night. No humidity and and a cool breeze out of Canada. We are in a drought, so the black flies have just about disappeared up on the "hill" and the tree's are skiddin' out to the landing easy. Don't get much better than this summer.
You can have some of our rain! We've had 9.5 inches in the last three weeks! And it's raining again.

It's been unreal. Lots of windstorms too.
A good friend and some of his friends were camping and had a 20" diameter white pine crash on their tent this weekend. He and another were injured but it's an act of God that they didn't die.

And considering neither the weight of the tree not the spar branches got them is almost beyond belief. I feel sick just looking at the picture.That is real scarry.
