Haven't had to twitch a log in a while...only had a a couple rows of firewood at the rear of my bed for weight, and pretty soft lawn, but the log came over nicely. A bit of work courtesy of Irene that I'm finally getting cleaned up.
Something very satisfying moving an object this big that easily.
It had been on the other side of the log you see in the back now. The ground drops away steeply so there was no good way for me to cut it up where it laid.
Back before I bought this house, I spend summer evenings after work going through a pile of tree tops behind my sister's place. Often used this same tow strap and logging chain I used today to twitch logs from the main pile...while one side was extended out, I'd go right zip-zip-zip to block it, and then the much shorter piece left was easy to move myself to cut up.
Anyway, after I got done with that fun I go to run an errand and get a pizza and I see these guys down by the garden -- which they haven't bothered at all. This crew loves the grass and especially dandelion leaves. I think there's five in the pic, I counted eight and I'm not sure that was the definitive answer!
I really need to learn how to dress a deer and buy a freezer One of them was so close to my house the other day eating the dandelions I wouldn't have needed a gun, I could've taken her out with a well thrown cast iron skillet.
