    gotta let all the saws have their play time. Not used to seeing you use a Husky. Is that the one you were gifted?

    Sure is, buddy. It's light weight and had great torque. It's not as loud as the ported or muffler modded saws either. Better for night work...:whistle::whistle:...
    The little Husky has it's place in the saw stable.

    We actually have 3 Fisher stoves down here.
    There is a Grandpa Bear in the basement, 8" pipe, double doors, needs cleaning up, Mama bear, I think, upstairs.

    The woodyard was calling after I got off last night. We made a nice dent in the pile of rounds.

    Took a few days off to go visit long time friends in Alabama. They heat with wood, so we carried a load of hickory and a couple saws... 1015211044_HDR.jpg
    We also got'ter done in Alabama, at her son's house, a big tree had been taken down and piled up. It was a big red maple, so we added more to their hoard 1016211335a.jpg
    Put 3 rows on our truck 1016211335_HDR.jpg
    and he has close to 2 more loads to haul. Ran out of time to cut the butt log, it was over 36". But my friend did learn how to noodle... 1016211501.jpg

    1016211501a.jpg
    I got a chance to show my hunny a honey locust...it was at a festival we went to, couldn't hoard it...:confused::confused::doh: 1017211223_HDR.jpg
    We got back to GA Tuesday evening, so Wednesday morning, it was time to haul wood again. Delivered a load of hickory to a new customer 1020210942_HDR.jpg
    Then started working on the trailer load again. Finished it Thursday morning and made a long haul delivery that afternoon. 1021211245a_HDR.jpg
    Had another hickory load to deliver Saturday morning 1023210912_HDR.jpg
    On the way to drop it off, a local deer hunting camp called and wanted a trailer load...they are repeat customer.
    Started on it yesterday morning. Cut some smaller limb wood first, then working on some big knotty rounds... 1025211822.jpg


    1025211823.jpg
    Maybe we can get it finished today...

    As much as I love ported saws, I'm not ecstatic about the noise level they belch. It is what it is though. :saw: I wear earplugs every single time.

    We got back to work on the woodyard, had some nice rounds to help fill up the trailer quick... 1026211727b.jpg
    We got that load finished and delivered to the deer camp 1027211238_HDR.jpg
    Finally cooled off enough for us to enjoy a small fire in the stove. 1028212034.jpg
    We had another call from an old friend, she gave us part of an oak tree several years ago. She wanted some wood, I sent her pictures of our truck and trailer loads, her brother saw the loads, told her to cancel her truckload, he's going to split a trailer load with her...
    Time to :tree::saw::axe::stacker::woodsign:

    Had a good morning, started off about 50°, nice for cutting wood.
    This little feller was lucky, 1 if the smallest lizards I've seen. It got a small boo-boo, hope it heals up... 1102211037a.jpg
    Had 2 knotty rounds left, had to noodle 1 round completely, split the other. Trying out an 8 pin sprocket on the MS461...seems to pull it good...
    Had some smaller oak and pecan limbs to process, got it all done 1102211251_HDR.jpg

    1102211252_HDR.jpg
    Had this 1 piece left, when I split it, it was full of fire ants in the crack. I gave them a hi octane drink, noodle it in the morning... 1102211252a_HDR.jpg
    Miz Carol got the splits stacked, she had enough to start on the 3rd row...maybe we can be done by the end of the week.

    We needed some more wood to finish up the trailer load. Found some big rounds from the tree service drop off. 1103210906.jpg

    1104210913.jpg

    1104210913a.jpg
    They were 35" and 37" long, made 4-18" rounds...
    Used the MS461, 8 pin sprocket, 28" bar to slice and dice. 1104210952.jpg
    The Kubota came in handy for setting a half on the splitter 1104210952a.jpg
    We got her rack stacked with oak and hickory 1104211254.jpg
    then dumped the rest at 2 firepits 1104211254_HDR.jpg
    We then got an order for 1/3 cord load.
    1 big round split on the truck. About 1/2 of another finished the 2nd row. 1105211117.jpg
    We added enough 1yr hickory to fill the truck. 1105211219.jpg
    This customer also wants a trailer load soon.
    And 3 more orders for pick-up loads have come in...Thank GOD for HIS many blessings.

    Thanks buddy. We have been really busy since August, sent out a text to our customers, reminding them we were starting to cut and deliver. And we have added a few new customers as well. I think we have 2 cords to do now...
    Glad to see you are busy too. Keep up the great work...:handshake:
