Was going to haul wood but the temp is just to warm on the posted roads! May go back to bed then get up and go ice fishing instead!

Woodhauler · February 13, 2013, 02:44:58 AM

The weather has been so weird this winter!

SwampDonkey · February 13, 2013, 04:59:53 AM

It's been in the 30's here for 3 days now and only tended the fire 3 times. Easy on the wood pile. ;D

About the same here, very wet and slipery underfoot in the woods. Be safe out there today

Woodhauler · February 13, 2013, 07:39:31 AM

That's a rough one. You guys get ticketed for leaving ruts?

Careful,that new truck sticks out like a beacon. :D

Around here they would only stop the guys that could pay the fine. So the poorer you looked the better chance you had to get by.

Woodhauler you would need a lot of mud to cover that beauty up.

Yes if you could see your tracks, not ruts, tracks you were supposed to stop hauling. This all came a bout from guys not using commonsense. So this ruined it for everybody.
The same rule for skidders, no tracks in the woods

If this is spring, i hope its a short one!!! The long range forcast is not goo0d!

Ken · February 14, 2013, 05:04:41 PM

Our long range forecast calls for decent logging temps for next week considering it is nearly the end of Feb. I am moving to a block tomorrow and need 2-3 weeks of cold nights to ensure my winter road holds up. I suspect I will be looking at some extremely long yards before I finish the block. I am beginning to look forward to my first mosquito bite as the last few weeks have been a struggle.

Cheers
Ken

It was in the 30's here today and about 60 up against the house. Water was running over the driveway after lunch. It's suppose to be even warmer by Saturday.

lumberjack48 · February 14, 2013, 06:47:54 PM

I believe these Ole boys waited a little to long to get that last load.

Maine372 · February 14, 2013, 08:38:45 PM

thecfarm · February 14, 2013, 09:26:18 PM

I never thought to be looking for a nice new truck. ;D

Maine372 · February 15, 2013, 08:47:14 PM
