Well, I got all the rounds hauled to my woods. 11 loads. An Amish kid wants to split it with his dad’s hydro. We are working on a wage scale! He wants to split it Saturday but we are going to the cabin. I cut another trailer of junk/punk oak for a buddy in town. He likes it for campfires. A $50 load: He splits it himself.
Another day another cemetery burn pile. It is spose to rain/sleet/ snow whatever later so we lit er off.
We had a high of 28F here today and no snow on the ground so I walked my neighbors woods. It’s 40 acres and full of junked cars. Haven’t been in there since early December and oh my there are trees down everywhere. Counted at least a dozen oak and one black cherry. Glove on the cherry to show some girth. She’s a big girl. Here are just 5 oaks. I couldn’t take pics of all of them. He lets me cut anything on the ground. But I take care of him at Christmas and spray all his trails with Garlon 4 Ultra cuz his wife hates poison ivy. Garlon 4 absolutely smokes ivy but doesn’t kill grass. I’m going to be a busy beaver come March.
Wow, you make me feel very lazy. That is awesome work, I am impressed with how dead on you are on all of your rounds
I stay on my toes in Robert’s woods. But the thing is, I have 8 oaks and 1 black cherry on the ground in MY woods! From our July 16th wind event. I should clean up my woods first but we will see.
snowed a little here today I stayed warm and dry in the shed split about a half cord of oak there were 6 deer watching me load in the woods
A friend about ten miles away just sent me this: 30 black walnuts are on the ground. He is doing the sale himself. He hired a timber feller to drop and skid now he has six timber buyers (mostly from Iowa) to come and inspect. Highest bid takes them! I am going to drive over and do a look I see a few but not many veneer logs there.
The black walnut market is hot here in Southern Wisconsin. My wife’s brother just sold 42 about fours miles west of me. Here is a small sample. He has another pile across the road but the gate was shut I didn’t drive through. On my drive by a saw several that were 40 inches DBH. Big girls!
