I'm Ready for a FULL Summer!

[thewoodlands]

It's been a good month since the saws had any rotation going and I'm ready for some cutting that will last straight through the summer.


Looking for another three or four cord by next winter. I'm guessing that I cut three cord until I was snowbound this winter. Attached are some of the stuff down or topped off from up top, most of the wood should come from lower part of the woodlands this year.

Plows on and the wood is in plus the wood outside was covered (Top & Sides) last night before this rain hit, just need this storm to stay south of us by 10 miles.

Not sure if it stayed south of you, but we went from calling for rain changing to a little snow late to waking up to snow and a forecast of a foot plus.

Don't worry about it Zap, we'll carry the load. We topped the 13' mark last week. Single season record is only 2.5' away now.

Talked with my sister the lives in Liverpool and she said it was snowing pretty hard your way. I'm ready for the spring and some splitting and stacking.


Looks like we'll fish in two walleye tournaments this year plus try and get up to a few spots in the Adirondacks.

Zap, I'm ready for spring too. With our forecast over the weekend we were hopeful we'd get rid of most of our snow. Didn't happen. Rain went mostly south. Got snow again yesterday morning and glad it didn't last because the little we got drifted. So the question, or guess is, when will we see bare ground?

The west facing hills had bare spots before this snow, I think by the third week of March we'll have plenty of ground showing then we will get one last big snow storm the first week of April. Sav this is a west facing hill and should be one of the first areas that will lose snow, we have some clearing to extend the trail plus have some nice cherry down that I need to grab.

Next week I'll take a run back in for the first time since Feb. 5th. Sav how is your hip coming?
