It takes me less than an hour to make a load of wood like that, usually about 45 minutes, but it took me two hours to figure out how to put all that footage together that I shot while making that load! HA! Well, now I know how to do it. And since then I have figured out how to get rid of the annoying black border around it too, although too late for this video.
Dennis it was 9 °F when I left for work this morning, it is almost 40 degrees here right now! started snowing on the way home from work, turned to sleet, then frezing rain, now just rain. Supposed to get up in the mid to upper 40s tomorrow, back down to freezing for a day or two and back up to the low 50s toward the end of the week.....I am just plain disgusted with the weather here too! I have lots of standing deads on the neighbors farm (not to mention 4 huge locusts at a job in a neighboring town) that I need the ground to be froze to get to. Plus we do maple syrup in the spring and this weather is not to our advantage. Gonna be a horrible season if we don't soon get a couple weeks of good, hardcore cold weather.....Backwoods Savage said:Neat video quads. It must seem good working without so much snow this year. I thought we might have gotten some frost in the ground but not much. Went back today to cut one that needs to come out when the ground is frozen. No luck. Still mud in there. Must be the snow was enough insulater but maybe it will freeze up this week. Cold coming tomorrow again but I could hardly believe today got to 45 again.
We'll have to wait and see....my biggest concern right now is I depend on that standing dead stuff and blowdown junk to fire my homemade evaporator, and I cannot get up on the farm to get it. I use my snowmobile to get the wood home and to collect the sap off of the farm, and we haven't gotten any snow yet. I usually have three to five cord of junk wood cut split and piled up by now for the syrup run...right now I have maybe a cord, starting to panic! I can use some of my good wood, but I hate to take it off of my heating wood pile. anyway I'll post pics once we get the season under way, hopefully within the next three weeks....Backwoods Savage said:Scotty, I've been wondering what the syrup will be like this spring. It does seem like in the past the run has not been bad because it seems like it gets cold later with many cold nights and that helps a lot. Time will tell though what this spring will bring. Good luck.
