Well we went in cutting today for the first time this year. Only -6 C here this morning too mild. We cut 23 total not too bad for the first try . Logging is like starting a hockey season you have to get in game shape. Pretty stiff tonite. Better tomorrow, maybe.

This is a birch that a beaver felled this past fall. All the top of the tree had been eaten. This tree has 14" at the butt

Here I am trimming up a nice spruce I got 3 logs of 10' of this one . It was real fun hauling this to the path in the snow.

They never seem too big until it comes to move them

your a real man to like that kinda temp good job

can you send me some of your clothes it seems cold here for me when its 32 F.

I'll trade you weather!!!  They are calling for -45c starting monday. I guess this beutiful winter had to come to an end.   Don't worry I'll make sure I send some your way.   go_away

-45C :o I hate going out in that.

-45C is too cold for cutting. Its not the work in the cold thats the problem. Its getting things to go in the morning. |I find the cold is better when your working as you don't get wet but when your chainsaw is at -45C it can be a challenge getting it started and chain oil will not pour.

We have rain and fog here today .We had snow last night . I am going in after lunch to make a track down through my path and then tomorrow when the temp drops it will be nice and hard.
Supposed to be colder here starting on Monday.
