winter is starting to get the best of me

My phone has been going crazy with firewood customers. The new people that call go into shock when I tell them the price. My regulars know what they are getting and are fine with the price. I ran out of seasoned a long time ago. I am buying every stick of green ash I can find.  I do 4 to 6 loads of split firewood every weekend. I get my price or I just leave the processor turned off. If you cant make money doing it, it isn't worth doing.

-30°F here again this morning, I've got to go get my machine warmed up and ready to move.  The lowboy will meet me at 9:00, it will feel pretty crisp throwing chains

I had 7 below at the house at 7:20 this AM but where the machines are it's much colder.  I turned on the Fabtek's ProHeat and made a run to CARQUEST in Indian River for hydraulic fluid and it was -32 at the store and the repair shop down the road had -38.  That's really cold for around here.  It's an even zero here at the house right now.  The harvester is started and warming up.  Beautiful bright sunny day just bitter cold.  Suppose I better try to get something done before the frost laws go on

No bad things to say about cold and snow. I need the cold to freeze up the ice and the snow to get my logs home to the mill on. Love the cold and snow, hope it continues

Very good season so far. Lots of cold and snow. I have 400 logs cut so far. 200 home to the mill and another 200 by the shoreline ready for a spring rafting trip.

New path cut in a different location yeaterday so will start cutting in that area tomorrow.
I have also got 9 birch logs home to saw and put in the kiln in the spring.

Going good
