    Im going to check tomorrow and see what is left for logs at my coworkers place where I have been getting a few logs.
    Pretty sure that there are a few big ones left. Hemlock and Oak.
    They need to get cut down to size for the mill.
    I will push his " Go" button and see what we can do.
    Sometimes he needs a little more than a spark to get him going.

    CSM field trip?
    I will print out the waiver for you to sign.:thumbs:

    Dragged slabs out to the corn field tonight. 2 at a time was about all the kabota wanted. The hickory rounds in the bucket are needed to help the front end not float to bad. Going to go get them after dinner and bring them home.
