Maybe take some diesel to thin your bar oil if necessary.

Had a good day working with Mike. We did a straightforward crispy, crunchy dead maple. Mike got it on the ground quick. Problem was the pieces exploded when they hit the ground. Made a huge mess, and the chipper needed extra babysitting cause it would stop with a throat full of hard chunks. Not...

Didn't do much of anything today. I looked through some old emails to see how long my ½" stablebraid is. I couldn't remember if I had 150' or 200'. In the midst of looking, I saw where I ordered 120' ⅜" stablebraid on clearance in 2022. The couple of you that pay attention will remember I just...

Very cool stig. I opened it last night, and it's got the hole. It also tastes good, or rather the texture is good. The one I had way back I think was too hard was what I didn't like about it. Made in Sweden. Dunno if that pinpoints the factory. There seems to be a lot of crossover with...

I don't. I also don't remember the hole, and haven't opened this yet. It isn't something that usually sells over here. I haven't had it in years, and don't remember if I like this version. I do know I like Leksands. I got this from a discount grocer that deals in distressed merchandise, so they...

Off today. Picked the truck up from the shop. Split some locust for next season. Locust sure does split nice. Did almost everything with axe, and I barely had to try for most of it. Went grocery shopping and got some big crackers... Also got my order of almost 8# of licorice. Super stoked...

Didn't do much today. Small boundary in a subdivision. Didn't find much evidence, so we brought what we had back to the office, and the boss will look at it on the computer. I measured and cut 200' of line, and 5' for a prusik off my rope reel. I was gonna wait cause the yard's squishy, but I...

Yea, a good bit of trees came down for it. Not all were worth anything, but there were a bunch of good ones. There was an ERC I wanted, but never got to cutting it before the clearing guy came. I'm sure there's a projected lifespan on the walls, but I don't know what it is. Walls I did 30...

It could've been worse. It was a muddy shithole, but the couple posts I was hands/knees on were on some of the driest ground on site. Most were marking cages, and I didn't even need my harness. Got 22 posts marked. That was a pretty good run, and they shouldn't need us for awhile.

I'm glad those red arrows are there. I wasn't sure what to look for :^P

Yea, I like it cause it doesn't feel like your hands are coated in stuff. Well, not badly anyway. I still feel it. That's pretty much only a winter thing. My hands tend to crack, so it's worth the discomfort of putting stuff on them. I don't usually like anything on my skin. I can see the tin...

The tree went pretty well. There's still less than a day left on it, but we got it mostly brushed out. Mike's a working machine! One small mishap. We pulled a telco line down from the house. No damage, and it's an easy fix, but it's just a pissoff when stuff like that happens. I'm still not...

Wokeup at 3:15 this morning, and I was wired out. "I guess that's it for sleep tonight...". Working with Mike on a silver maple removal today. I've been looking for my WorkingHands goop, but I can't remember where I put it. I think I have BadgerBalm in the truck, and I'm looking at some BagBalm...

How is alder as a firewood? I see it listed as a fish smoking wood fairly often.

Today ended up being better than expected. Boss was late, so I could only do one part of the noisewall job, and that was marking cages to set forms. It was still a muddy mess, but I was standing on rebar for a lot of it, and didn't have to be on my hands and knees in mud. Never fear though! The...

To get meaningful solar on my lot, the trees would all have to be cleared. I'd have almost nothing left. I'd do without grid power altogether if that was the only option.

Rumsey Island?

Off today cause of rain. That of course means I'm going to the noisewall tomorrow per my call from the client. After a bunch of snow and a bunch of rain, it's gonna take the mud level up a few notches. Shoot me now...

That's a hell of a dog that needs ⅝" amsteel to restrain it!

Posting here cause it doesn't warrant it's own thread... I was looking at wesspur's clearance rope section, and they have 5' of ⅝" amsteel blue for $22.56. Can anything be made with that little bit of rope? I was thinking maybe a soft shackle, but you'd be pretty close to using all the 5', no?
