    Awesome get! Shaggy is as good as it gets for me. I still have some random splits mixed in from the huge haul I reeled in years ago. There's some biggins around these parts.

    And absolutely perfect weather here. And predicted tomorrow too. :saw:

    1989/300 she's getting a little weak on the bottom side but she still earns her keep.

    More work but at least the rounds are easy on the old back. Looks very fresh cut too.

    The log on the right is pretty decent sized it will take little grunt to load. Picture is deceiving. It's logging tops as is everything I am cutting as of late, just cut recently. Need more dry ground too.
