Magnus goes international!

[MasterBlaster]

Gas is less than half price, I would not mind living here!

Yes, we're loving our cheap gas!

 

[Al Smith]

Food is wonderful and cheep too!

You get a fine resturant meal for two persons here compared to McDonalds for one at home.

I guess it's all relative about prices .That portion of the US is not cheap by our standards at all .Been there . On the other hand I live in an area of the most affordable living in the country but it surely doesn't seem cheap in my eyes .

why does this picture look so very very wrong?

Is it the HUGE saw blade whirring along at a zillon miles an hour?
Or is it the child at the controls? Maybe its the guy with his head near that whirring blade, the child at the controls!

 

[Magnus]

There is more to this than captured on pic, but yes, it is a 8 year old supervised by a 13 year old that operated it since he was 10.

It would sound strange to me too if I read this I suppose, but I assure you it is safer than riding a car in traffic.

We were just a couple feet from them at all times and they operated it safer than I did.

The 13yo leaing around may or may not be cool with me, depends on what's the haps.

Otherwise it looks groovy to me. Country boys and city folk have different levels of aptness.

Was the log 3rd from the foreground chewed on by a stump grinder? When we grind them it can look similar to that.

 

[Magnus]

It does look funny that end...
I am not sure, but I think this is thinned from a forrest with mashine.

Not sure how that happened, I doubt it was by a stump grinder, but something round it must have been.

 

[sotc]

very cool magnus, looks like your enjoying your trip

That tree looks like it was cut with a mechanized harvester.

With a swing saw vrs a hotsaw (spinning disk)?

The dish shape is odd, and the grooves running across the dish confuzle me?

Looks like the spinning disk.

I think the "dish shape" is from the log coming off of a multi-stemmed tree.

 

[Magnus]

Now I am back!

Been a increadeble trip and it is hard to take in all impressions and experiances!

I try to post more later on this if you like!

Dinner in CN Tower in Toronto at sun down was increadeble!

 

[vharrison]

I try to post more later on this if you like!

Please do!

 

[Magnus]

For those of you that has not been up to see the White mountains I thought I show you some pic's.

This is Cathedral ledge I think it is called.

 

[Magnus]

This is at a place I forgot what it was called, but it is a dream like place, not far from the Cathedral ledge!

This is a trip we made up to Canada thru "the notch".

 

[MasterBlaster]

Slotta pitchers! Any more?

 

[vharrison]

Nice shots! The boys look like they had fun at the waterfall! Is that you at the waterfall as well?

 

[Magnus]

Oh yes...

I have about 1500 more!

We passed thru a town late at night were there was a garage and some truck's lifts etc with the logo of a member here. I cant remember exactly and was driving at the time so no pic, but I think it said New England tree service!
I have seen pic's here of the lifts and stuff...

So now I visited you!

When will you come here?

 

[Magnus]

Yes, it is me wiping sweat of my overwhelmed head in the back of a pic.
The other guy is my patient friend William who put up with us for four weeks!

 

[MasterBlaster]

In case you're wondering WTH is going on, I'm fixing your spelling errors, Magnus.

 

[Magnus]

That is good, you know that..

I am pretty beat up still and have a hard time to focus and process everything.
It has been just AMAZING!

 

[SkwerI]

Sounds like you had the trip of a lifetime, Magnus. I'm glad you had a great time.

 

[William Greene]

bump:
i tried my damnest to get my supplier to haul in tree legnth firewood while magnus & family was here,but they only hauled a load or two & we missed them when they did come to deliver. i know magnus would have liked to take some pic's of the delivery rate & the trucks....oh well.
here's a pic of the finished haul...one year's worth of split wood for the local market,90% red oak with 10% mixed hardwood.(which is being un-loaded)
maybe we will have better luck next time

 

[Jonseredbred]

Yah, thats a couple days of splittin'

 

[MasterBlaster]

I wonder what the total BTU's of all that would compute out to.
