Technically it is NOT seat time, but it is close...
I started creating a log bucking area tonight with a number of the straight 7' plus logs I had originally planned for fence posts. I created a 25' section of raised logs I can move my firewood pile over to and I can easily cut firewood from this "platform" and never have the saw touch ground.
I cut up about 1/2 ful bed of my pickup truck worth of pine, birch, oak, and others for a "campfire" I am hosting at Church tomorrow for the Men's group I run
I had only put maybe 1/2 a tank of gas in my Stihl 20" Farmboss and I still had plenty of gas so I started cutting down the small trees that have sprung up along the edges of the big pond.
Basically I ran my saw for a couple hours and I prepped for both cuttting major firewood AND the curved section of the pasture fence. It was a glorious 3+ hours.
My shoulders ache, so do my arms. I need to change the chain on my saw, and the beaver was checking out the trees I tossed into the pond almost immediately after I was done.
It was an awesome evening, even if I did not fire up the tractor...
Be well all,
David
