Are you one of those "break an anvil" guys? I have deep gouges and such, but in all my carelessness have yet to do any real damage to mine.
View attachment 88793 Not really,I can't believe I did that, I really was trying to be careful a heavy piece of wood got away from me and I dropped it........82,ooo miles on her. It's really been a great truck no problems at all.........Weekend wood cutting.
Woodwidow and campinspecter we are so happy you found the dog. That would not have been a good day getting home missing one.
If I don't have smooth plywood and knee pads, I am not stacking wood in the back of the truck. My knees can't handle any kind of ridging on the deck.
It isn't that dark once you are in there. This area was logged 38 years old and was planted with fir and western red cedar. As the years go by, this area also has reseeded itself from whatever is in the nearby timber. In another 30 to 40 years, it will be harvested again. We don't usually cut in areas like this. More in the open logging slashes but this piece of road was used as a landing for the helicopter logging farther up the hill. Lots of small stuff and non-merchantable timber was left by the side of the road when they were finished. I wanted to walk down into the second growth and take a picture but the brush and debris made it too hazardous. campinspecter worked in this area when it was first cut down in 1978. He loaded the logs onto the trucks that transported the logs to the railway loading area.
We went back out for another load of wood today. Awesome weather. I didn't have to wear a jacket or sweater. Back in almost the same spot with everything ready to go. First was a heavy hemlock. then we found a fir log Supervisors were out in full force. So nice they didn't want to stay in the truck. Shadow really blends into the background. Could have used this fir one for a mast with a lot of work. went nicely into the back of the truck.
Man that's cool, pulling out those logs already limbed up. I assume all dogs were in the truck this time
