    Wanted to try out the Shindaiwa 550 I just got so went up to block up a chunk of snag that had come down in a recent wind storm.
    Unbeknownst to me the rest of the top had gone across the road and down the other side. I will have to get the portable winch up there to get it to the road.
    The old saw ran fine and was cutting pretty good with the quick round grind I put on the chain that came with it.

    Will wait for cooler weather to do the rest of it. Worked up a sweat just doing this little bit. [​IMG]

    Nice to see you back in action sir. Has it been a hot Summer in the PNW?

    Not especially hot although we did have a couple of days of 100 degrees.
    I’m hoping to sell some wood before I cut a lot more.

    That looks pretty far gone. I hope it is solid.

    Definately close to being too far gone but fairly solid in the middle. Will get some btus out of it. If I were short on wood or buying I’d hope to have something better.
