A longer bar and chain sure would have been handy for the big one but we got it handled.
Don't think I'd want a V8 chainsaw.....that's crazy! Handheld even! Yikes!! -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Here is a picture of a tree that broke about 12' off the ground and hung up in another dead tree during that bad wind storm. Not safe to leave so it definately had to go! Good thing this was the last load for the year. With heavy sticky wet snow, we had to carry all the chunks back.....no chunk tossing for this load or they turn into snowballs when they rolled. What a workout hauling wood through the snowy woods!! Love it!!
Was such a big heavy load by the time we were done, that CP had the old truck bucking her front end up and down in the snow when we were leaving. Sure had my eyes wide open! He just laughed! -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

Last load??!! Who said that? Snow could melt off yet and we could probably get at least 1 or 2 more good loads out of there still....... Maybe.
Truck was only buckin' a little in front 6-8" trying to stop on that slick snow. Does feel good to have what we think should be the minimum needed for winters heat already cut down and off the mountain, but now we need a caber for tossin' I guess? My wife is nuts! -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

It's called adventurous CP! Plus it doesn't have to be a large caber (tree). Just large enough for me to toss, we have plenty of room for me to practice.

Still lots of firewood left yet. You can even see the throwing block set up on the left side.
Split piles are getting low so it's back to the chopping block. Just need to clear some tumble weeds out of the way first! -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

There actually was some snow until a couple weeks ago and we started to melt....what a muddy mess! We're finally drying out and not "baja'ing" to town. Had a couple nights when it still froze hard enough to freeze up the starter with all the water splashin' the day before.....grrrr!
We still have some slight chances of moisture over the next few days and then there is March...........oh boy! We'll either really get a bunch next month or the ground hog was wrong. -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Check out this sketch that a guy at an Indian reservation in Oklahoma drew. Turned out fantastic!! The picture you put up reminded me of it. Thought you might like to see it. I need to get a frame for it still.
Still have at least a cord of wood left and winter is officially over! -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

Still have at least a cord of wood left and winter is officially over! After the first winter here, found that we need to stockpile at least 5 cords to get through a winter.... Damn expensive buying it. Got a wood splitter added to my wish list. -------------------- Caveman

I usually get by with three cords but have a small place. Gone through close to three now and glad it's about over.
Dayummmm Denise.... that sketch is incredible! I would most definitely have that one framed. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |

Headed out yesterday to start cutting again for winter wood. Tim stepped out of the truck, wandered off a little then posed for this picture. She saw him but he didn't see her.
Great way to start the day and ended it with a truck full of firewood. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,
