    I have a huge red maple trunk to finish bucking up first thing Saturday morning (from a job we did in a neighboring town a month ago), and Saturday afternoon/Sunday I'll be over on the farm getting wood for the maple evaporator! Even though it will be blistering cold, I gotta get it done.

    Sharpened 6-25" chains for the 064 last night as well as the 30" chain for the 372xp and two chains for my MS310. I should be good to to for a while. Gonna try to do some vids with the GoPro, one of an oak widow maker on the for and maybe a time-lapse of me bucking up the big red. And on Sunday morning I will do a video of building a friction fire up in the woods with the pump drill. We'll see how it all goes down...

    Right where I want to be.
    Whatever you do, stay warm and dry.
    Pics are good, vids are gooder.
    How's the sled running?

    The sled is running great! And I promise a pic or two (maybe even a video if I can keep the phone from freezing solid).

    Spose to be -5F here tomorrow for the high. I am bringing the saws in over night so they will start easier. Gotta get the float packed down again after the last storm.

    The maple season is the only thing I miss in Pa. Hope the snow isn't too deep to get around in the woods to tap the trees. Good luck hope you have a productive season.
