Just cutting off some wood for the view.
As I said, I should have done a video 2-3 years ago.

Thats a beautiful property Ray! Lot of work to make it look that way. Great job. Im a bit confused by that green stuff on the sides of your road though, I thought it would be white!!! Seriously it looks fantastic, Brian
Not Yet. We've had a pretty mild fall this year I think. Some mornings there is frost but the last few weeks we've had more days in the 50's & 60's than below it.
Looks good ! When you get a minute you want to pick up some of the rocks and get them out of the way. 😂
As a native Maina, I love the accent. Reminds me of "home". It's amazing to me how different the native accent can be just a few hours' drive away. Guess it stems from only recently have people been as mobile as we are now, so the local accents tended to stick around and not migrate very much.
@thecfarm (https://forestryforum.com/board/index.php?action=profile;u=436) is a rock hound, he hoards them;D
I am willing and able to share any rocks. Just send truck and loader!!!!
Accent. Oh yea. The guys at my other job would drag a vendor from away to hear me talk.
Snow? Not at almost 60°. Looks like 70° this weekend. Might be white by next week. Who knows.
I'm in the firewood mode now. Have to work on them rocks next year. :D Them are a little on the big size for the equipment I have.
I have no idea where those rocks came from. I never asked my father about them.
The ones along the field came from when he had the lower end rocked so they could plant corn.
It's work in itself manoeuvring around the rocks. ;D What a man will do to watch the deer, eh? :D I hear ya on the firewood, been going out to the woods these nice days to cut all morning. I figure there's 7 cords now, 3 more if the snow don't come. Some days there is a pickup load on the ground some 2. Depends if I spend more time cutting rails for corduroy on the trail that goes furthest out. Every stick counts for something. ;D Yeah, 60F here this afternoon. T-shirt weather. :D
Well let's not get on Ray because he has that wonderful downeast accent which I also miss hearing more regular.
I may have told this story before so stop me if you heard it already. A few decades ago we had a family reunion up in Maine. We had family from all over the country. One cousin who ran a boat yard in Booth Bay was telling a group of us a joke about lobstermen and he was laying on that accent pretty heavy. My cousin from Texas (who also tawked funny but different) was paying particularly close attention, his eyes were squinted and he focused on the speaker's lips. My my cousin delivered the punch line everybody in the group leughed real hard and long. It was a good joke. That is, except the cousin from Texas . He didn't get it. He looked at the Mainer and said " ya know sumpthin"? Y'all tawk reeeel funny!"
It was a good joke though. :D :D
Beautiful place Ray
Be safe cutting and enjoy yourself
Looking good Ray.
You bouncing back from light duty pretty good ?
Been doing the same here, cutting trees to open up the surrounding hills.
Its amazing how those views fill in with trees over the years.
The weather sure has been nice to be out cutting firewood lately.
Light duty has been done for more than a month, maybe 2 now. I hope the hernia don't happen again.
I am lifting bags of grain at work.
Around home, the tractor does all the work. ;) Well the hard lifting parts.
Kinda scary when the bowels try to escape through your mid-section. :o
As I said in the video, I should have done all this sooner.
I moved one stone wall just a few years ago. No pictures.
Before you tube, I claimed back a big section of the grown up pasture, hauled off a stone wall than too.
Hauled in a bunch of dirt on one side of the driveway so I could mow it. Town ditched the road, had a straight banken about 3 feet tall. I sloped that off. No pictures of any of it.
