    Had the day off, we are working a 9/80 shift now and get every other Friday off. I got up, sharpened three chains for the MS 261 and went scrounging. I got a bunch of nice ash, a nice round of really heavy sugar maple and a few rounds of limb red maple. I need all three chains because the wood is dirty and most is on the ground.

    I was looking forward to getting some ash tomorrow, but as it turns out I need to be on a site for a building shutdown.

    Nice looking wood. Barkless makes for clean handling.

    Cant think of a better way to spend a day off. Looks like you and the 261 had fun. You going back for more? Ran a tank through my 261 today myself.

    This is what I wanted to do this week but work didn't let up. Glad you got out cutting! Beautiful wood too!

    Sounds like a great day off.
    What’s a 9/80 shift? 80hrs over 9 days?

    Correct. We get every other Friday off. We will see how that goes. I am a salaried engineer supporting testing that goes 24-7, for months

    I've never seen that for salaried positions. I already put in 9+ hr days in my salaried Purchasing position, but I don't automatically get every other Friday off, without taking PTO.

    Great double bonus.....time off and profitable wood score. Makes days off feel better than just a day off!
