TODAYS SEAT TIME

[dragoneggs]

My seat time today was in my pick-um-up truck, to go not far from here, where my arborist friend was taking 7 oaks down.

He told me to "show up" and they would help me load my trailer with wood, and they did!

With what also was in my pu, it totaled about 2 cords... :thumbsup:

:laughing: Now all you need is a salt block. Some of your last few pictures are right side up, must of fixed it.

Yep, got several salt blocks around the place.
If I take the pics with my phone laid over to the left they come out right side up here

Not much in the way of seat time on the tractor lately... but I got another fun seat to sit in about a week and a half ago. Wife mentioned getting a bike about 2 months ago, I took that bait hook line and sinker! Found a really clean 2003 Suzuki Intruder 1500 with only 6k miles on it, and local to me. Asking price was low, and we brought it home. Rode it to work every day since! Missed riding, not been on a bike in 10+ years...

Congrats on the bike, nice looking one too! Now be carefull, pay attention, and go take a class, great for brushing up on skills! (Coming from a long time Motorcycle Safety Foundation instructor )

Congratulations on your motorcycle purchase, I ride too. Watch out for distracted drivers messing with their cell phones etc.

Round two of rehabing the driveway at the house my cousin bought a few months ago. Terrible ruts and was a good 6 inches below the level of the lawn. Did one 16 yard load a little over a month ago and let it settle and pack down. Had another 16 yards dropped today. 3/4" crusher run.

Took a beer break

Finished

My guess is you have 3/4 cord on a 3/4 ton PU and 1-1/4 on trailer with trailer brakes. Looks like the firewood is cut at random lengths, 16-24". I prefer uniform length, 16-18" so I get uniform heat................

Got some more roots cleaned out today for shop build.

Let's be picky, already. It was free wood, cut and loaded. No doubt he helped, yet that's still a pretty good price.

I sometimes pick up log ends... random length since they are butted off to make saw logs. If they are close to the length it's fine, if I can cut them in half and be close that's great also. Leftover short sticks and cookies are still great for Saturday mornings when I'm inside anyways making next weeks meals; or out in the shed when working on something they go into that woodstove. The best part is that they are free.

I also only bring home rock maple, beech, yellow birch, and an occasional ash. I can get plenty of junk wood off my own property.
