Splitting & stacking again.

[bogydave]

Got about 1/4 of this batch of birch rounds done.
Great day. 36° sunny & no wind.
Mountains got some snow Saturday morning.
I need to hurry & get the last few loads.
Looks like it could snow anytime now!
Rounds to split:


My view of the Mts.:

Looks like the grass is greener on the other side.................................of the stacks.
Lookin' good, lookin' good!

Is that a river in the background??? (salmon on the brain, I'm going in Oregon tomorrow)

Got snow over here, and over at Shack's place. I got about 2 cords cut and split on Saturday.

Dave, your on the right pace to get all you need done before the weather stops you

 

[CageMaster]

we will be gearing up for the winter cutting season here in the next couple weeks, too much nice weather and other yard work to do.

 

[WellSeasoned]

It looks like you just can't stop. Nice stacks

Nice work Dave. Beautiful pictures. It is 62 here right now. Strange. Not complaining. But strange. It was 26 just the other morning. Have a good one.

Small lake. Still liquid, but not for long

Yea
Some strange urge to go get more.
Then add to that.
Goal almost reached. a full shed & 6 cord to replace what I use this winter.
I've never had so much wood & still want/need more, go figure

Not a bad desire Dave; we all simply want to move up in the Firewood Hoarders Club, LTD.

36 degrees, sunny and no wind! That is about perfect weather. It is a joy to be out working in that.

Fishing in Tillamook, Oregon today was typical Oregon. No bites, sideways rain, 40+ MPH winds. Typical. Now I'm cold, wet, and am getting ready to crank the wood stove. I did see one nice 30+ pound King caught by one lucky angler.

always look forward to the beautiful pics bogydave

Incredible pictures bogydave. I'd be thinking about skiing in those mountains soon. It amazes me how short your growing season is.

Perfect wood processing weather. I just love this time of the year.
Got the right side pallets stacked full.
Working on the other end.
Ran the splitter out of gas again, was time to stop. I'll start stacking it tomorrow.
Got 2/3s done. Hoping weather is good enough tomorrow to finish this batch up.

Is that a Honda motor on that splitter? We used one similar to yours when I helped with my brother's firewood a few months ago and boy did it suck down the gas. Got at best a cord on a gallon of fuel.
Mine seems to sip the fuel which is nice. It's one of the yellow splitters they sell at AIH with a 6.5hp Jing Dang Dong (or whatever) china Honda clone.
I did the first two loads (about 17 cords) on 5 gallons.

Just was thinking... between the seasoned wood I had and hauled out to customers, plus what I cut and split for myself and at my brother's place, I've dealt with close to 40 cords this year.


ScroungerJeff, growing season is about same as most northern L48 states if you figure it by hours vs dates. Keep in mind that summer days are ~20hrs of daylight.

Yes. Honda
