How'd it go today?

[Dave Shepard]

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) I wish something would come together here soon.

 

[Kaveman]

Young Buck did a bunch of little stuff. A few limbs to clear the view for a starlink unit, then deadwooding a decent sized pine, then dissappear a dead aspen.

I let him play with my toys today. Harness, spurs, rope, the works. I think I might have broke his bank for him lolz. It's past due time for him to upgrade his gear.

Got out on the water today. Bessie peak on the left and Red mountain on the right.

Cool pine challenge

Burned trees at my parents today and got two more off the ground. Storm damage never seems to end...

 

[Dave Shepard]

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.

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 itself around the drive wheels. Very odd. Teeth were ruined. Tried getting in touch with the other customer, but no luck.

I don’t know if

Today I had f*ckall to do, so I got toasted. Not even sure what to do with myself right now.

I hope everyone has a fantabulous day! =-D

what’s toasted mean? Drunk? Smoked weed? Suntan?

Do I see ash and toilet poplar in the mix? What are the species?

Must have good moisture levels bein able to burn and all. Does that generally get restricted in the summer?

 

[Dave Shepard]

There is one pine and the rest is ash.

Fox came back. Either him or Spot made a sound, I opened the door, and he took off after a moment of hesitation. Maybe I could get a guard donkey. I always kinda wanted a donkey, and it would give Spot some backup. Bonus is the ridiculous sound they make, and I can pissoff the neighbors at the same time :^D

No burning in summer. Our season depends on moisture. It can start late October and into May. Usually under restrictions from opening to December. Then May to June.
Upper elevations over 5000 feet can burn longer for controlled burns.

Copious quantities of edible marijuana. Sorry for the ambiguity.

 

[Kaveman]

Guess what? Young Buck murdered another tree, and I pulled branches! Was good day.

The truck seat is killing my hips, I'm perfectly happy on the ground right now.

It's good to be working again!

 

[davidwyby]

The thought of dragging branches hurts. My arms are trashed. 😬

 

[lxskllr]

It's not even dragging branches. It's the repetition. It's all easy to do once. The punishment comes in when you're doing it over and over.

Routine stuff today. I went to the farm to split wood, but I tweaked my back a bit running Old Smoky. Wood was filthy, and I had to sharpen it three times on not too many rounds. Also, the choke lever fell off the carb again, so I had to take the top cover off to stop the saw. The cutoff switch doesn't work anymore. That's a hassle cause it's screwed down. The two best saw innovations are side tension screws, and quick release covers. Old Smoky has neither :^/

I only split and loaded a wheelbarrow of wood. My back's sore, and I didn't want to make it worse. It hurts, but not nearly as bad as it can get.

@stikine The old stock exchange in Copenhagen with the 3 dragons twirling their tails together for a spire, went up in flames:

 

[stig]

Sorry, wrong thread.

 

[stikine]

I read about that. What a shame.

 

[pigwot]

Friend is there and sent photos and video to his brother.

What a loss. Sorry to see such a beautiful and historical building succumb to flame. Glad everyone made it out at least. Shame about its contents.

Spent two amazing hours talking to @Kaveman on the phone tonight!

Having an overall great night!

Love you all! (No homo) lol

 

[Kaveman]

Young Buck managed to mostly murder a Cottonwood yesterday, playing in 20mph gusts. Also, I spent a long while on the phone with my favorite fellow ball of loose ends. Was good to have an extended, intelligent conversation with someone my own age!


Today we cleaned a bunch of it up, and now we're headed back to the RV park. Hate bouncing around like this...

Just spotted this from my truck while eating lunch. I love Overgaard!

Ball of loose ends?! That's all I am to you?! lmao Just kidding! Looks great! Keep the pics coming! Glad you're back in the battle of trees that need slaying!

 

[Kaveman]

Waiting on the boss to hand file the chain on his climbing saw right now. I don't care too much, I'm paid by the hour, but it is making this job drag on...

Yikes.
