Since today was in the 60’s and sunny, there was no way I was heading out into the woods. Grabbed the splitter, and headed to the wood yard. Put...
Not that far, we are just North of Brunswick. Far enough out in the country to not have to deal with people, but within 10 minutes of Route 1.
No real mud yet, ground is still frozen. It’s going to be mud season soon though, temps are rising quickly next week, and raining this morning....
Went out after the snow stopped this morning, only got 1” or so and finished up the short log pile, as well as the apple wood pile.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Made some progress in between snow storms, got the main log pile done, just the random short logs pile and the apple wood pile left. Woke up to it...
I voted outside since that’s where I typically sharpen saws. Also have a garage and wood working shop to do it in if needed. Wife would kill me...

Went after a triple trunk apple tree that died last summer during the drought. Bark was coming off of it, so it was fair game. Got it down and...
We had this Cooper’s Hawk show up in our lilac, 10’ from the front door. It sat right next to the thistle feeder for half an hour or so. The...
I have had the grapples mounted on my tractor more than the bucket, forks, or rock bucket combined. The tractor gets put away with the grapple on...
Thank you sir! Braved the snow showers this afternoon and went to the wood yard to cut up the ash logs, and add them to the stack. Didn’t take...
It’s way too big for a fire, most of the stumps from our 10 acre field are in that pile. It’s hard to get a burn permit here as we only have a...
Was out cutting some ash trees today, and noticed several girdled pine and hemlock trees. Upon further inspection I noticed a bunch of stripped...
Went around the edge of the field to get 3 ash trees that were looking less than great. Noticed them last summer missing half or more of the crown...
