Happy Birthday to all birthday boys and girls. 
Last night I made chocolate walnut brownies and shrimp cocktail to take to a dinner tonight, 
so this morning I'll be free to work outside. Good morning all. 
I might go down and see if I can cut one more log off that big tree,
and yes this time I'll take a camera. Me, a chain, the Kubota and an Echo 600 with a fresh chain.  
Problem with new chain of course is  you can't get through a big cut without having to tighten it up at least once.
But those chips do fly.  And unlike my 450, the larger saw really does make a bark when you rev it.  
Just one cut and one log today. The rest I leave to my very large helper.
work boots with steel toes? check
though whatever I'm cutting will weigh at least 500 pounds.  Not sure any shoe will help that...
Always have to figure out which way they are headed. And have an evac path and plan. 
Unfortunately (and fortunately for my feet) it will roll into the ditch and now I have to chain it out so I can get the grapple on it. 
Plus the tractor has the mower on it and I'm right next to the public road.  Very exposed if working from one side, so I've been 
dragging everything sort of uphill away from the road. And messing up the woods doing so, but when it gets dry it will all grow
over in grass in two months. I'd rather make a mess of the woods than back my mower into the side of a garbage truck going 50.
Plus it would ruin the nice lawn along the roadside, so uphill I go. Thank goodness for 4wd.
