I think I did read here on FHC about one of the mods doing an audit. Maybe he was doing our books and noticed FHC was a bit low on cash
I had them laced fairly tight, still had a little bit inside...I didn't have my chaps with me...probably would have a heat stroke with them on...it was low 90's and humidity went thru the roof, started raining before we got home.
I know it was blasphemous to throw that pecan away, but if ya'll knew how much we had down here and how far behind we are, Maybe, just maybe, we can be forgiven. That tree at the first of this post, cut in '22...we still have those logs piled up, about 2 cords, spalted and fungus. Hope to give it to a friend for their hunting camp. Plus another couple piles of pecan logs. We have a ton of oak and a cord of hickory to process, not enough hrs in a day...and we have had rain nearly every day since around the 4th... My work schedule and helping our son cut a 50' right-of-way for electric line to his new place...
reminds me of huskihl saw video's. If it's summer... The FHC ladies will have to judge the legs, man-glitter and all... LOL Possibly an FHC calendar in the works???
Our friend, Gary, called the ther day, said he had 3 big oaks down from the storm. Could we stop by and move logs to his mill and pick up the rest for farwood. Sure we can... When we got there, he was cutting a pine and got his saw pinched, took tractor and pushed it over... Then we started on the oak, these were so heavy, used the tongs on one end and dragged them to the mill. Taking a farwood logs to the trailer Got a load of farwood, still have a bit left...the big logs on top was a 12'er, it had split in several spots when he was cutting it off the trunk. Had to cut it to 6' to load. He had 3 16' pine logs, 6 12' and 1 10' oak logs
Seemingly endless supply of logs available for you after the storm. Could you use any milled lumber around your wood yard?
We were blessed this time. Cross posted in Git'ter done down in Dixie thread... Friends had about a dozen trees close to their house taken down, they had the tree service saved some of the logs for us... We hauled 1 load so far... Probably another load or so in this pile... She also told us to look in the brush pile, might could pull some out from there. Moved the pile around and rescued about another cord from there...
My neighbor cousin wanted some help cleaning up some trees Helene blew over into their old family cemetery, dates back mid 1800's, I think. He first wanted us to just cut trees off the stumps and was gonna have the skidder pull trees out later. I told him I thought we could do a more surgical extraction... It's a mix of red oak, white oak and ash. Part of the downfall The big tree trunk bucked to 64"... 1 middle section in the Catawba grapple Section where the limbs started, it was laying on another rootball Butt section going on trailer. 32" didn't go all the way across 60' white oak we pulled out. Haven't loaded it yet... 1st load home to storage area
We went back today and did more cleanup. Close to the entrance to the cemetery. Top of the ash, couple headstones are visible here... The Hall brothers, Randy (f) and Emmitt, their ancestors are the ones buried here. It's older than I thought, late 1700's, the original Hall got a land grant after the Revolutionary War. Sitting on a 70' red oak. The stump from the big tree we hauled yesterday. What we got out today... red oak The ash...white oak from yesterday behind it Red oak from yesterday We will haul all this home next week.
This is the info on the cemetery where my ancestors came from. Nathan Veal also got a land grant after the Revolutionary War...Washington County Georgia Cemeteries
