Beech Blowdown

[thewoodlands]

This caught my eye earlier this spring when I was cutting at the base of this hill. Most of the beech is good with some rounds on the outside just starting to get punky, hauled tww loads out off the ridge and was done by 12:30.

This gets me off this ridge until the next wind storm. Picture 2930 is the original picture of the tree.

Good cutting, started at the top of the tree and she kept popping up each round I cut off. The last load the sun had come around, it was hot.

On the radio shack special we have a reading of 91.

It hit 90 here Zap. I spent the afternoon hauling water. We have not had a decent rain for almost a month and everything is burning up. Fortunately a neighbor lets me pump from his pond but if not the creek runs along the southern edge of our property. It is just easier to get from the pond.

It's getting that way here, I'm thinking the county will put a burn ban on if this continues. The brook is getting real low, most of the time it's that way at the end of August.

We need a rain, the field crops are stunting a bit, some of the veggie garden is a no show this year.
Nice Beech there Zap., Clean and easy.

mainstation, we'll take the rain also. We have a storm coming through, listening to the scanner towns north of us have trees and electrical lines down.

I wish we had more like that.

Nice easy cutting there zap, also I like that beech doesn't have much of a bark. It is clean and supposed to burn good, I will try some this year that has been roasting in the sun for a couple of summers.

Were south of Potsdam, it went through (wind & light show) but never lost power. Towns north of us had trees down and power lines.

I'll check for some downed trees this week after some splitting, I think Monday we could be in for some bad weather.

Sugar Maple or Beech, the wife wants to burn more of this year so it's set.
