    Noodle the biggest ones in quarters and the “smaller” end of the log in half. The log lift will take over from there but yes, time =$

    Great pics from higher up. Gives a much better perspective. Did you ever post drone pics Joe? Maybe another FHCer?

    Been working on the bigger oak logs getting them ready for the tw6. After about half an hour of cutting today, the sprocket on my 390 decided to give out.

    That stinks. How much rain you guys get down there. Couple different T-storms overnight here with some serious downpours.

    I keep a rain gauge. We got.6”. Ground was dry so it soaked it up pretty good.

    Nah. Tree companies are all busy. To be honest, I’m kind of happy because it lets me get to my older logs. I have no worries of running out of logs

    Honestly, it is good. No worries. It allows me to get fully caught up so fresh logs can be dumped in the back instead of in front of older logs.

    Knock on wood, it's been totally fine! It's probably only a matter of time though until it spasms again. Been working out trying to strengthen my legs and core as well as stretch. Hopefully it makes a long term difference.
