Bringin' up da Wood

Ha ha ha!! Wouldn't you have been surprised if I handed you a big 'old lake trout to keep your head warm!!!

Andries · October 20, 2019, 12:30:19 PM

Yeah, Lake Trout don't have much of an "R" insulation value.
. . . and would probably give me a fishy-er reputation than I already have. :D

Southside · October 20, 2019, 12:49:08 PM

That could have had "International Incident" written all over it!! :D

Some of us look like this for a short six months of the year, y'know?
Yeah but what do you look like in winter :D :D :D :D :D

If business is good, in the winter this is what my wife and I look like.

Haven't had enough good hard freezes here yet to bring wood close to or in the house. My wife is very anti bug or rodent so we will wait for a couple hard freezes.

Three little kittens
Lost their mittens
Then they froze to death

BUT, not to worry.
They were found in the spring.
(The mittens, not the kittens.)
(The kittens were carried off by a turkey vulture long before spring.)

I haven't got the wool out yet guys. :

It was about 65 here today and the shirts were soaked through. Give it another month. ;) The good old sun kept the house warm today, no fire tonight.

6 cord stacked for winter over the weekend.

Well now, @rjwoelk, see what happens when some unfortunate souls spend far, far too much time in 100 degree F temps?
They're good people really, they'll come back to their version of NORMAL ~~once they cool off!~~

Sorry, I got caught up in that latitude-based rebuttal, rj.
Your system seems to be delivering the goods, well done!
Same wood processor and a new conveyor = a warm winter!

rjwoelk · October 22, 2019, 01:07:25 AM

looks like you are busy as a beaver. Looks like I got 40 days to go and back on the road. Still have a lot of work to do. But did get lots done. 2 weddings and a set of twins was a busy year.

Corley5 · October 22, 2019, 11:40:25 PM

I scooped the end cuts out of the pile with the little loader, fed them to the big loader, and dumped them in the 550. That will last a little while. Supposed to have lows in the mid 20s next week. I've got about 40 face cords on the books and then I'll run off the 30 we need to fill the shed.

Magicman · November 01, 2019, 08:05:36 AM

Wow, I'm glad I brought up plenty of firewood because it is a bone chilling 38° this morning!!!

Yikes!!!

A lot of the country is having below normal temp's. It was 18 degrees here the other morning and some wind making the windchill in the single number's. We got lucky and missed the snow so harvest is still going on. 32 this A.M. makes people and equipment a little slow to get going. Got to get this harvest finished and get back to firewood processing before my helper's turn there focus to deer hunting in two weeks.

John Mc · November 01, 2019, 08:48:02 AM

Meanwhile, it was 65˚F for Halloween here - as warm as I can remember it ever being. I can remember a lot of years wearing winter coats to follow the kids around trick or treating. This was an unusual October for us in that we did not even get a dusting of snow.

thecfarm · November 01, 2019, 08:52:30 AM

Yes I am at 50° this morning. Yes,I had 60-62° last night. A warm Oct. Even when it was raining,most times it was warm. I have seen it rain in Oct and I can't put enough clothes on and be warm. :D

Magicman · November 01, 2019, 09:15:03 AM

We had an all time record setting wet October. Over 60" for the year and over 12" in October.

SwampDonkey · November 01, 2019, 09:39:12 AM

Yep, we have had lots of rain in October to, the summer was bone dry, so good for the wells. My well in only 80 feet, and been lucky it has never dried up in my 52 years. And is good water to, no odour or taste to it and now I even run water softener because it is hard water. Sure cuts down on the cleaning and scrubbing from lime scale. :D

Will be putting on an afternoon smudge to take away the dampness.

Magicman · November 08, 2019, 07:45:37 AM

We are forecast to see the 30°'s this weekend and low 20°'s next week so I brought up another couple of wheelbarrow loads.

goose63 · November 08, 2019, 10:46:00 AM

@Magicman we dont use no stinking wheelbarrow

BIL need some wood so we went out last weekend and got 5 loads

Now its deer hunting time 8)

GRANITEstateMP · November 08, 2019, 11:12:15 AM

goose63,

We do things a little different here in NH but I've never had a trailer set up to push / pull ;D
Was the Ford needing a little extra help from the Arien's to get going?

SwampDonkey · November 08, 2019, 11:16:36 AM

I use a wheel barrow sometimes to gather in the woods, then throw into the bed of the truck. ;D That is when cutting road side. A wheel barrow is a handy thing. ;)
