Got my first load of timber quality logs today. The logger is selecting for my timber list, and matching what the tree yields to the best use. I've been waiting for this for probably 15 years. It's going to allow me to be a sawyer and still know I'm getting what I want. (And nothing that I don't...

Yes. I got them on the camera at the mill a few years ago.

They steal grain bags out of the barn. Shameless.

My parents had a bear in the garage last night. My older sister got him on the Ring camera. My younger sister has a cell phone video through the kitchen door. I had taken several videos of one a few hours earlier at the sawmill, 150 yards away.

I've got ants getting in my house. Dawn dish soap and wster in a plant mister takes them out in seconds. This morning I found a crew of large ants carrying away the dead ones I had left in the sink last night. A little research and I learned that they were undertaker ants assigned to clean up...

Tax collector send demands for my car and the Jeep, which has been off the road since '22. Not sure what her problem is, I sent money in January or February. Now I have to try and track her down. I think her hours are 7:00 to 7:15 Wednesdays every other leap year.

Yes, you can fit a BR800C in the trunk of a Golf, if you try.

Violent stomach bug. Probably in the top five, maybe top two illnesses in my life. :barf::sad4:

Hauling gravel on site for my friend's new house build. Really nice old Mack.

There is one pine and the rest is ash.

Spent the afternoon driving gravel truck for my friend who is building a new house. It's a win-win for me. I like driving old trucks, and he buys me lunch.:D This evening I sent to the mill, as I finally got dimensions to saw one log. Almost immediately, the brand new band jumped off and wound...

Had a few logs dropped off today for a custom sawing order. Customer is out of town now. (Logs were supposed to come two weeks ago:whine:) I wish something would come together here soon.

Thanks. If I can move some logs, I'll be able to get something done.

The pump is still pumping, it's just leaking badly. I'll see how it goes. I have to get some stuff sawn asap. Any of the neighbors who drilled deep have nasty water. Any of the shallow, roughly 20', wells have good water. A sand point can be driven with a sledge hammer, or a post pounder.

I'm enjoying the sun. Trying to make the most of it while it's here. Started the next phase of sawmill reorganization yesterday. Parked the Kubota and was planning my next move and the water pump let go and drained most of the coolant. I've never had one fail when it wasn't running...

Potential buyer trying to scam a takedown?

I'm sort of at a stopping point for my sawmill cleanup. I've got some paying work for tomorrow and then I'm going to focus on processing all the odd pine logs. They are going to be timbers, boards, or dunnage. It all depends on what they look like when I open them up. I tried a panoramic shot...

An old logger near me hired a young kid to run his skidder. After a couple hitches the kid came walking out of the woods to tell him that he had rolled the skidder. He handed him the grease gun and said it was never going to get any easier to grease it. :lol:

I won, let's just leave it at that. :/: Next stop is the Port of Rensselaer.

Sometimes winning doesn't look like winning, but I was winning none the less.
