That's it. I gave it to our local Stihl dealer. It's in their showcase along with a ceramic insulator grown in a tree.
Enjoyed the cooler temps last night. Got a bit more done. When we started... and when I finished... My hunny helped me till about 8:30, then she came to the house and canned 5 pints of strawberry/fig jam...yummy....
So you were both jamming real cool together, but then she left you to jam on her own making sweet hits like "Strawberry figs forever". She had a lot of "Ball" to do that! This is becoming a sticky situation for the "Fab Two"....Are you guys going to split up or split together? The evidence is stacking, but I'm hoping you will work it on out. It's either that or you're gonna wind up in the Firewood hoarders Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Boy, you got it going on this morning.... Yep, we are stuck together. Good LORD used some real gorilla glue on us...she told me from the beginningt the "D" word wasn't in her vocabulary...
Yeah I can be very "punny" at times. Gorilla glue is pretty good stuff, but I think he used some JB Weld too just to be sure. You'll have to post a pic when you decide to spread that jam on something.
I what u did there......yes sir, HE used glue, JB WELD, Duct tape on us. We will be celebrating 31 yrs in September. I tried out that jam on some toast this morning......along with my bacon and eggs...sho' wuz gud...lol
Went down to our company property and cut up a oak blow down. Used the XS362 with 28" bar to buck it and the XS029 to limb. Very happy with both saws. Got 2 loads. Also had a big pecan limb we got 3 lengths from too.
Today was a great day. Not only did we get the tree above done, got home and rested a bit, and then went to wood yard. Finished up the second side of the double rack. Full cord of BBQ/Smokin wood... debarked hickory and oak. And before my hunny came up to help, she fixed 3 more pints of sugar free strawberry/fig jam. Got one more 1 cord rack to fill, then we will have to build more.
You two are on fire! Don't overheat that scrawny log splitter now! Are you guys growing your own strawberries and figs or are you getting them at market? Also, was the hickory and oak already debarked when you got to it? or did you debark it yourself? If so what tool did you use. I wish I could debark everything! Most my wood isn't so freshly felled and so much bark falls off when splitting. I make my own crude mulch with the bark that collects around my splitting station and throw it under the rose bushes. What's left after that goes where needed.
Trying to see if that puny little splitter will hold up while it's still under warranty...... We have the fig bush/ tree in our yard. I think the recipe uses strawberry gelatin in it. I use the splitter to take the bark off. These logs have been cut awhile, so the bark is getting loose some. That hickory bark is tough. I have been putting it in some areas that tend to wash out and it also makes a good place for earthworms.
Sent the pic to my smoker friend last night, he text me this morning and said we could bring it anytime. We loaded and delivered it before lunch. All dumped out Guess we have another empty rack to start on...lol... thank YOU, LORD, for wood to fill it up.
That's a lot of smoking wood just for that one aluminum pan worth of meat in the foreground. This guy is running a serious smoke house!.. Wish I had a guy like that near me.
. It's a tough hog going in that pan...lol... That building is his deer processing business. He smokes summer sausage there. That load will last him about 2 yrs.
