    ...Will have to wait... :( The spring part anyways.

    Planned to work on my new stack this morning, but I decided to do some chainsaw maintenance instead.

    New air filter going in the 036, decomp coming out - I'm robbing it temporarily for the 660.

    Stubby scrench, corners rounded slightly on the bench grinder, made the perfect tool for pulling the decomp.

    Took the 660 out for a spin... :saw: We need a smiley with a bigger grin. :thumbs:

    I cut 2 of my maple logs up into 8.5' lengths in preparation for milling. Ended up with 4 nice sized logs from each. Hot knife, meet butter: :dex:

    Well we barely made it above freezing today, but it was a nice sunny day. The snow from this morning all had disappeared by about 3. So I got a little stacking in this evening.

    Selected some really dry pieces to burn right away cause I'm running pretty low. Had 2 more cold snaps this week.

    Friggin' cold and windy today out in the woods, plus a short but ferocious snow squall. At least it wasn't too hot. I can always put on more clothes, but once it get's hot and sticky, I hate it.

    Still takes a good pull - if you half-azz it, it will still bite your fingers. But it's so much easier now - comparable to the 036 without decomp.
