The good, the bad & the ugly

[JimBear]

The good : I got a nice jag of Honey Locust split up


The bad: I have more to do & it’s supposed to start snowing again tomorrow & warm up & rain this weekend so it will be a swamp around what’s left.



The ugly: I slipped & put a hurtin’ on my X-27

Sweet, bummer, and that sucks.

Go to fiskars site file a claim and few weeks later you will have brand new x27 at your door. Dont ask me how I know.

I have to use a laptop or a computer with a monitor, I can’t see the entire claim form on my phone. I tried to fill it out as soon as I got to the house.

weld that thing up into a kindling splitter

It’s a possibility, I thought I would slap some JB Weld on it & see if it lasted more than one swing, doubtful but I’ll give it a whirl. Kindling splitter is probably the best option.

Might make the swing, then come off on contact, most likely.

That’s my line of thinking as well

Probably the least thing that could go wrong, out in the woods cutting firewood.

More good, got another load split & hauled out before the snow starts tonight, I am thinking that there are at least 2 more loads like this one left.

 

[Highbeam]

I would just haul the rounds home and split later.

They are all but home, just over the hill about 1/4 mile from the house. I don’t have a winch, skid steer or tractor & loader so I will just get what I can before the rain sets in, as long as I get them out by the time to plant beans. Both of my trailers are full of scraps, uglies & punky wood that need to go to the burn pile but the weather has not been cooperative this last fall/winter & my free time has not coincided with favorable conditions to gain access the burn pile. Plus as the snow melts & it starts raining my wood storage area will not be in good shape either. I need to get more pallets put down but that will have to wait for the snow to melt off & the frost to go out so so can drive some posts.

Got 1 more out this afternoon after working some cattle this morning. This will be the last one till it freezes up again, looks to be a couple nights in the teens coming up next week.

In the low 40’s this afternoon so melting snow is really making things sloppy & hard to get around.
