My work is done.

Sunny with a 100% chance of isolated shower of firewood

Bucking logs out of the tree

Outside/barn cats will decimate a rodent population in short.

Maybe I should leash a fox to the front bumper of my Jag every night :D.

That has been a standard bucking cut, more or less, for a long time here in the PNW. If there is top bind you do the vertical offside cut first reaching over the top of the log, draw over the top on the belly of the bar, continue on down the near side with the tip, then slide on underneath and...

Well, yeah....

I wonder if foxes would take care of rodents? They can kill a lot of things in a short time.

Yes. I do this same thing to prevent barberchairs and to slide off sizable/ machine-handleable/ millable maple logs. All kerfs, no face. Basically leaving a square/rectangular peg of central holding wood that gets 'Coos Bay'-ed off.

Not yet, but close :D.

Rather like asphalt based wet-patch...:).

Those make fantastic fish bait…

We took the ferry across Mobile Bay from Dauphin Island to Ft. Morgan. While in route, our youngest daughter texted me that she was out on the bay as well on the Sea Lab boat. They were catching and tagging sharks. Our courses passed close enough that we could see her waving at us from her boat.

Oooo I hate mouse damage. I kept some traps set full time on equipment (stumpers) that didn't move daily. One morning as our convoy was pulling out in the morning, my guy radioed me that some mice were running around on the rear counterweight of the Kubota loader :\: :/:

I have been using a jump cut of sorts. Single kerf undercut about a third deep, single kerf cut on the far side but keeping that cut vertical in relation to the undercut about a third deep, single kerf cut on the near side severing the corner, and sweeping down for the release. They pop off nice...

Nostalgia isnt what it used to be

I scaffold knot into a biner with keyhole gate, not ledge gate. Fusion D steel. wesspur Half hitches ( or marls on brittle pieces) take the strain of the biner. If a piece breaks apart, marls cinch onto the wood. If the marl breaks the piece, you can get a knot.

Yay tires!! Boooooo rats!! Peppermint and dryer sheets are supposed to repel rodents. I've been dealing with rodents a little bit over the last decade. In a couple of days, there was rodent food waste (bird seed shells, but no germinated birds!) inside the engine compartment.
