She is cute is the woman included?
Looks like KK is making the rounds.No sign of them yet on Kodiak Island.Since spring is around the corner, the biting insects will follow. I had forgotten about those pesky buggers until now, thanks!
All the more reason to embrace the season and enjoy these cold days collecting firewood. Happy days View attachment 1158451
Very nice place.
Somebody has been pooping in my woods.

Donated by a friend from someone who did not want it anymore!
The other half is used for one of the hunting stands I built, very sturdy! This half skips one rung.
I only use them to get started, once I'm on the flat surface I don't need the ladder!
In a Habitat for Humanity store. They have new packaged chains, all 5$. I ee lots of 3/8, .050, 59 DL. Some of my Homelites take them, Im getting 10 of them. DL's arent marked, you have to open the pouch and count them. Other sizes 1/4 , .043. 325, .050.
I opened a 325, .050 and it was 66 DL's.
I bought a used stove from them two years ago for $100.00
I find them to be a valuable part of the community .
Maker is E&S equipment, they have a web site.

Think you just won "Saw chain scrounge of the day" honors.
Just got home from my one and only ice-fishing excursion of the season. 54* at the moment, 5" of mushy, honey combed ice and rain in the forecast next week. The red-winged black birds were singing in the cattail marsh the whole time we were there, and everybody caught enough for a meal or two.Saw my first red-winged blackbirds yesterday. Pretty sure sign of spring.
Advantage or owning a spinner / breaker set.
Years ago, I found several Oregon Type 90 (3/8”, low profile, narrow kerf) chains, new in the package, on a Sears ‘Clearance’ table for something like $3 each (!). Some odd DL count.
I spun them together into a long length, then broke and spun them into loops to fit my pole saw.
Do that a few times and it pays for the spinner / breaker set.

Yes, I know that. It just seems like your first cut is a little thick. When I was at the sawmill, we always got a 1x4 on the outside and then worked our way in.
I just might get a spinner. Those 59 DL chains are probably 30$+. They have at least 20 of those left. They probably had 20-30 of the 404 packs. I don't use many of my old 404 saws, but, if I sold one it would be nice to put a new chain on it.
The local Rural King in SW Pa has bar oil for $9.00 / gal.
What's this part called? Looks like the two bits from a 3point hitch? [Edit: I figured it out, they are called rose joints. I was talking to the guy whose built the one in the video. He was helpful in providing info and photos to build one.]
There's a guy in the UK making machines for splitting kindling.

Had a friend show up today, saying he needed some pine boards. Lucky for him, there was a pine sitting on the mill, so we milled him some pine boards today,
Maybe he will post a picture of what he had on his trailer when he left?

Well, I scrounged seven 8' x 24" x 2.5" Pecan slabs today. If it all goes horrible, they'll end up firewood 
I recall, sometime back, someone offering a super deal on 0.058 gauge chain. Maybe 10 loops, or so?
I didn’t need any, but figured, if I did, it would have been worth buying an 0.058 gauge bar to match them, at that price.
