Good stick trick.
Ground some stumps to round out the day, finishing up a job. Not very exciting. Happy customers. Check in hand.
Off to dinner.

Use those poles often for that little extra whip. I see a proto Rope Runner 
Wanna see that rigging tomorrow.

Nice!
Is that the computer chip saw or adjustable carb, afaik they make both versions.
They changed the top cover some.
I bought 3 of the chip-style to replace stolen 372s. Two of them crapped out within the first week. After repair, all 3 have been going strong, excellent saws imo.

Went moonlighting with Richard on a 3 person job. 3rd person got sick, so we had to run fast.
Running fast with a big saw all day was a bit too much for me, I'm dead tired. As in completely worn out. It'll be a while yet before I can do full days and not feel it.
Money was good though, we are starting to fill the travelling box for this summers trip.

It is the auto tune.
Grendel, what do all those pictures relate to?
Stig, do the quacks know you're working like that?

Yep, I was told not to over do it, and since I'm still alive, I fell I've kept to that
Actually the doc told me that nobody knows what I can handle better than me, so to set my own pace.
Going back to work was apparently a great idea. I get tired as hell, but a little bit less every day.
I won't lift a finger tomorrow except bring firewood in for the upcoming week, this one really wore me out.
Still, I loved finding out that I still have it in me to do a day like that, even though I'll pay for it tomorrow, at one time I was beginning to doubt I'd ever get back in shape.
I love autotune!

Ok, understood.
Every time I have some kind of wear and tear issue I worry it might be something that'll signal the end of my active working days.
So yeah, I can understand your relief that you've still got it in you.

I was at a workshop this weekend Mick. Beautiful saw, seriously, probably my favorite one. It howls, and is buttery smooth. Congratulations.
Cheers

Check out that sweet load cell impact block! Crazy cool. Has it's own little remote controller/readout thing. We asked the tech who was onsite, and it actually measures deflection or movement in the metal itself. Crazy.

You said exactly that about one week ago, but for "only" 4 hours in the woods. Look at the progress !
You come back in shape at an amazing speed. I'm very glad for you.

Glad to hear you're feeling better Stig.
Cool stuff Sam. Lots going on there.
Got up and made breakfast for the family and two extra kids this morning and ran out the door to pick up a new stove for my parents. The old one was bought in 1989 and has served them well but when the bottom of the oven has holes in it, I decided they needed to replace it. That and I was told my mom had to get down on the floor to light it every time she wanted to bake. I was able to get two of my brothers to help me install the new one. Spent an hour trying to find the gas shut off because my dad moved it when he finished the basement but forgot where to. I don't know why he wouldn't of put it right behind the thing. Instead it's in the basement clear on the other side of the house. Anyhow, they're both happy and now I'm trying to work up some desire to clean up my garage.

Taylor Hamel via DMM was the primary. Integrity Tree Care out of Fort Worth was the organizer, and Arbormasters provided the facilities.
The knots and stuff were just things the guys attending were playing around with that I thought were cool. . . Chris Coates was very gracious about showing everyone some tricks and redirect stuff. It was neat. Got me away from Michigan for a few days

Cool stuff Sam. Looks like a great learning time.
Got a call from my climber Jason that left for the big league. I guess since the company he went to had a fatality, they have been on stand down and on call. So he is lacking work. I told him to come on in for the days he has off the next two weeks. Him and Deva ought to get the ball rollin with me to keep these jobs in budget and on time. Maybe make me a day here and there. Rob and Mike went back to that job we started part day Friday and felled the rest of the easier trees. Now it is climber time. And rigging logs out to the clearing.
See how we do the next couple days. Everyone in the house has been sick and I feel like my turn is coming around.
The 1984 Flat bed is done at the shop. They left a message Saturday. Can't wait to get that bill
All four brakes. Radius arm and pitman arm bushings. Maybe some more bushings. Spindle and hub. Front and rear brakes. I bet with the rental car/truck I am in more than 5gs
Merry Christmas
