    Finally got around to making it out this afternoon to grab a few blow downs that came from winter storm Grayson. Also had one to clean up that either the city or an electrical company cut down to make room for a transformer box. Looks like a barber chair or something similar was going on. Got three white oaks left to grab next time I can head out but in total got 5 small white oaks today. One had a rather sketchy pine sapling that it had fallen on but it's always a good feeling to make sure the ole ticket in the chest is in good shape haha. Gave me a good excuse to get out and give all the saws a good run. Switched over to amsoil Dominator for my oil for the time being. It is a bit more expensive but mixed at 50:1 it doesn't smoke near as much as the Lucas semi synthetic oil. Only thing I've really noticed as I'm only just shy of a gallon of fuel in. Anyway after selling 2 back to back cords of oak I had was running low on extra wood on hand so today and the next 3 small white oaks really helped out. As for what I got cut this afternoon I'll get all the pics posted up below[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    What I ended up with at the end if the afternoon. The trailer is 6.5'W x 14.5'L and the rail comes up 12" if that can help with a size reference.[​IMG]

    Made it out Saturday to grab the last 3 white oaks that had gotten blown down. Turned out to be a little bit more wood than I thought but I'm glad to add a bit more to the stash. Eneded up having a chain on the 340 break on me and a wedge came out of my wedge banger axe leading to the head coming off. Looked like the rivets on the 340 chain wore down so much over time that the link just came apart. Didn't get a chance to post everything up yesterday cause I was pulling the engine in a 93 F-150. Being that it had a 5.0 (302 block) in it I believe it will be well worth the time to build it. I'll get a pic up of engine also [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]
