    Last load for the year, road iced/snowed over. slick
    Cut 3 trees, 1/4 + load.
    Didn't want to pull a heavy load out the slick road.
    AND it was COLD ! 5° when I got there , 20° when I left.
    frozen wood cuts different, slower

    After a few tail lights are busted, it's time to go to LED low pro and guarded lights, or some other solution that gets the tail lights out of the way.

    Good work though, despite the tail light casualty. ! ;)

    Cue up Dave's beautiful stash pics....

    He heats solely with wood, and has quite the setup, with a lot of wood.

    Yea, I chickened out after 3 trees
    Frozen birch trees don't hinge over normal,
    it was cold
    Road was icy,
    It was cold.
    Frozen wood cuts slower

    It was COLD ?

    This one was a duct tape repair from last year
    Other side is cracked.
    I finally screwed the license plate directly to the fender
    Few bed boards need replaced
    A good inside the shop winter project, trailer repair
    On the list
    :)

    Yea, will be heat from the sun then too
    Not much solar heating going on now, the road is prob iced up till March
    Willow area is 15 to 20° colder than the Wasilla area

    But the hot grips on the atv were nice
    Need them on the saw
