It’s dry coarse and chunky. Tap out and go again.
How'd it go today?

I blew out almost all
My saws last night since I had the clutch covers off investigating the husky needle bearing issue. (I posted a thread here somewhere)

I should probably check my 395XP filter. I haven't seen it since I pulled a tree onto it in 2020 and had to swap out the cover. I'm sure it will be a waste of time.
I touched up my WTF pine. It was really bothering me. I was gonna try cutting in a good roof, but I don't like working off a ladder, especially with big saws. Also, every time I touch it with a saw is another chance to completely screw it up, and end up with nothing. I think it has a pleasing asymmetry...
Also got most of the bark stripped. The naked tree really shows off my bad cuts :^O There's still some bark on the bottom. I'll get it off as it loosens.

I had to take down a tree behind the sawmill that was showing signs of leaning towards the mill a little more than it had been. If you told me back in July, as I was being shoved into a ct scan machine, that I would be dropping and bucking a 28" dbh on New Year's eve, I wouldn't have believed you.

That is dusty, for true. The mask sounds like a good idea.

Now I can lay by the fire and watch the evening sky change color. Can't really see the sunset where I am. I have a better one under the pine, but I can't move it. It's most of the middle section, and the backrest is a facecut round. Super comfortable. It'll stay under the pine for now. Might workout well there. If not, I think drying out and maybe milling a little off will shave enough weight to wrangle it. I almost got it in the jetsled as-is, but it was on the verge of tipping, and my back had just about enough of my bullshit, and was ready to walk out, so I quit.

Lift day today! Boss stuck me in an oak and went off to play in the lift. I had the easy job today I think.

I gotta say I am happy for you two getting together and working together. A win win for both of you I imagine.

The M18 top handle is torquey, but not torquey enough to saw a backstop off the sawmill.

It's still cutting. I haven't sharpened it yet, since buying it. Probably will when it gets colder later in the week.

I'm going to see if I can find a faster sprocket that will work with that size chain. More speed would be better with this saw, I think.
Chainspeed is my biggest complaint with the saw, but I'm really happy with it. I was telling Mike it's my least essential saw, but I really like having it available. It's nice being able to pick it up and go, and put back down again. No pulling it over or anything. I'm glad I got it.
Re-scheduling Friday's job to Thursday to get around rain, have to do the job sooner than later because I'm working with the neighbor on moving a couple hundred cows, turning into one of those "I know you have multiple jobs that day, and have to clean up before the mulch yard closes at 5, but I can only let you work in the afternoons because I want to watch, how about you do half Thursday, and the other half Friday in the rain?"
atleast one of the 2 jobs Thursday is a freebie for the grandparents, so I can stop by and do it whenever
its 30 minutes from job to mulch yard, + the drive through a pasture, and we have to take down a barbed wire fence + put back up, there's atleast 3, maybe 4 loads of logs, not entirely sure how we are going to get that done before the mulch yard closes, but we will probably end up bringing a load or two home for the night and taking them out Friday, stone dead pine that I would rather not keep around too long, one of the biggest I've seen in the area, I will be surprised if it's still standing after todays wind storm, hard hat on for sure!

Especially with the weather we’ve been having. Good luck with the cows

I was thinking that that was some Alaskan Inuit saying meaning you’re in good health or the like.
Then I scrolled up to the picture to see that indeed, his actual ferns are still green.
