Where's that? That wood looks too good to be sat on.
How'd it go today?

The moment the intrusive thoughts begin...
"Can I just pull the whole thing over with him in it?"
"If I tie off the climb line, I could get the back cut in before he makes it down..."
But I've resisted. So far. As long as the money keeps coming, I'll keep my evil in its box.

I always worry when I climb into the chipper to set the anvil, was I nice to everyone today?

Square peg, round world.
It's a creepy view looking out of a chipper, that's for sure.

The first thing I thought of when I saw that picture is Butch saying "no stubs!". Miss that crazy guy.
@FireFighterZero- Jimbo, do those critters need any 'medical treatment', e.g. salve, antibiotics, etc after branding or are they rugged enough to heal up on their own
Today kinda sucked for a bunch of reasons, but the biggest is I feel sick. Sort of feel like I have a cold, but not really. I get that when the weather changes. Very humid, not overbearingly hot, but not cool either. Makes me a little achy, scratchy throat, and feel like I'm on the verge of coughing, but don't. Also, zero energy. Just kind of go through the day in a haze.

Captain Zero!
The brands heal fine with no attention.
The steers get a little tetanus because it's kinda late to be banding nuts.

I tried a dried Carolina Reaper pepper today. I think it would have amazing flavor if there wasn't so much pain.
How do you detect the tetanus? Any generic brands?

Guess I should make that pic post now that I’m home.
If you haven’t visited the PNW/Puget Sound, put it on your list.

Just got back to town from our cabin trip. Sarah picked the girls up early, but we had a ball together while we could.
Here's s few pics from around the cabin.

I like that stump. Cool seeing the kids taking it's place.
"Helped" Mike lower a tulip poplar spar in his backyard, but I wasn't much help. Spurred up, took off two rounds, and couldn't get the third off. Needed to cut more, but my saw was trapped, and I was completely out of energy to deal with it. My hips were also killing me. I had to come down, and Mike finished. I was borderline panicking on the way down cause of my hips. Wanted to be out of my body. Got down, drenched in sweat, and almost puked. That's three times this season I've either puked, or almost did. I blamed it on the heat, and the earlier times made more sense, but today wasn't super hot; low 80s I think. Not sure what's up with that.
So... It was cool seeing Mike, but the day was kinda meh. I wasn't at all pleased with my performance. Hoping it gets easier when the weather gets better. In other news, the felling lever worked decent. I think that'll be a good addition. Aside from levering rounds off a spar, it worked well for splitting the poplar rounds after ripping them most of the way through. Rip down into the log, then lever them apart the rest of the way. Might not work as well on other woods, but it was gold on the poplar.

For @lxskllr and @Treeaddict
They're pretty good. The girls liked them too.
There's an old incident with old bay in our young family. I'll tell later.

Yea, it's a Husqvarna, as pictured here...
O.C.G.D. Thread, part two
The deed is done. 8-32x1/2" with nylocks. I think it might benefit from some sort of epoxy bedding. I'll probably do that on the replacement cover... :/: I haven't tried it yet, but I actually think it's going to be ok.
