    A big old maple gave up a branch from the last winds we had, this will go on the list.

    Seems there is never a shortage of work anywhere but shortage of workers.

    I stacked what was left of the cherry, it ended up being one face cord. The wind damaged cherry from 7/15 should give us another two face cord.

    I'm hoping that the cherry pictured is c/s/s by the end of August.

    I didn't do much during the hot weather and if I did, it was out and in early. The mornings have been nice, we had 57.3 while having coffee.

    Most of this maple branch was bucked up today, this is the second branch this old maple lost since 2007.

    I ran both since getting them back, the longest I ran one for was 30 minutes today, the 310 ran fine. The 311 was only run for maybe 20 minutes, that was the one they leaned out, it ran fine. Hopefully I can get down to that wind damaged cherry and give both more time cutting.

    I didn't wait long for either, they had them ready in under a week.

    I did some window cleaning today along with a few gutters that needed cleaning because of the pine needles. After a small break on the porch with the wife I cleaned the pellet and wood stove pipes.

    After I did the above it was time I cleaned two dirty saws from cutting the old maple branch.

    No roof action, we have a nice tall fiberglass ladder that gives me plenty of height/reach.

    I do remember the days when I was on the roof, pine needles are great for the trails but tough on your gutters. :whistle: I'll do the all the gutters on the house before the end of September and more windows.

    It looks like my August 15th deadline for filling up the two face cord stack I'm working on will get pushed back until the end of August.

    I worked on some chitty pine today and then split it, I ran the 310 that had been giving me problems when it was hot out, it ran fine today.

    The area I was working today ended up getting a bunch of sun, I'm thinking the temp hit 81 or 82.

    This is the second time I ran it since it came back from the shop, the first time was for only about 30 minutes and today was over an hour.

    I'm glad it seems to be fine too, hopefully I can get to the downed cherry and give both saws that came back from the shop a good workout.

    I finally took care of the downed cherry today, I thought it was a bigger tree but I only hauled out three plus loads.

    The second picture is a recently new damaged branch. I ran the 310 on this tree without any problems.

    We lost about four nice size rounds down near the stump, the pileated woodpeckers had been after it because of the ants in it.
