Fairly productive day. Went into work usual time, got my nasty old poulanpro cause I had dirt logs to cut, got a bunch of wood staged for splitting, and a truckload of firewood.
Took the poulanpro back to the office, and got my 661+mill, and got an 8" slab cut in preparation for making the boss' brother's column. My new edging mill should be in Saturday, so I'll get the column sometime next week. I had to take the dogs off to make the cut. I'm looking at the screws thinking I can get them off without removing the saw from the mill, the clutch cover, and chain. Got all the screws out except for the one at the oil tank. Silly me, I didn't realize it went through the saw, and straight to their headquarters in Waiblingen. That was the only one that required me to disassemble everything :^S
Debated on cutting a couple more ½" slabs from the pine at the office. I didn't really feel like it, but I already had all the stuff out, so it was as easy as it was gonna get. That was a good call. Older lady next door heard the saw and came over. She wanted some deadwood removed from the maple behind her house, and asked how much I'd charge. I go over and look at it, and it's all pretty easy, and not much altogether. One branch I'll tie a rope to to lower it, but everything else is just dropping it. I say $100? She says that's not enough. How about $200? and asks if I'm sure it's enough. Honestly, I'd have done it gratis just to help her out. The work's no big deal. I'm gonna try to get that done before the weekend's over. My good climbing stuff's at home, and I'd rather use that. I could have gotten it today though.
