    Silly weather

    I got a big black birch that didnt leaf out this year i am going to try to drop and buck up today before it starts raining. Kids stuffed up like they starting to get sick tho so will have to see if i can even sneak away for a bit.

    It just started here within the last hour. It's a mix of sleet and freezing rain. Hope you beat the weather and be safe!

    I spent the last two days getting wood out that I can't get to when it is wet so I understand. I got mine out just in time as it is pouring today!

    Lil womans trapped at work right now. Just went out to get mail and it looks like you could ice skate on my side road. Dunno how main roads are. I'm home nursing a sinus infection. Blahhh.

    You got the funnest part of it done before the weather hit you.

    How'd the tree get so far from the stump ? down hill & windy ?
    Hard to see the terrain in pictures.

    Some prime BTUs there ! :yes:

    Yeah its steep and it spun when the branches hit the ground. The second picture i was standing on the stump and you can see my driveway where as you cant in the first picture. Thinking of some ideas to get rounds down the driveway. Might be able to setup ramps and roll them right into the bed of the truck. :cool: Now if i can get the splitter in the deuce also i can split right off the back of the truck next to the stacks. :thumbs:
