Fell a few trees today

There were a few trees that have been blocking out internet signal, so today I decided to rectify the issue. It was somewhat of a challenge just getting to them in 3' of snow, but I managed to get there. The first 2 were red fir that I should be able to get some good siding out of come spring. The next was a tamarack that I'll probably cut into firewood this spring and the last was a standing dead red fir that I pointed down the hill so I could possibly dig my way up to it with the tractor to drag down for right now firewood. That all worked out good. I even made a trip to town and picked up a new champion 27T log splitter. This is the first time I've really used one and I think I like it 😁 I cut that whole tree up and didn't even break a sweat 😓

With the old fashioned 8# Armstrong splitter. I'm pretty sure they're going to be collecting rust from here on out though.

I'll see what I can do about the pics this morning Brad, depending on how much snow we got last night, it ight not have happened 😁🙈

Yes, the internet is working now. It worked okay when there wasn't any snow on the trees, but whenever it snowed we'd lose signal for a couple days. That's not very handy since my wife is taking online classes with liberty university. So, I guess I fell some trees so the wify could have the WiFi 🤔

I'm glad to see that you consider education a priority.

I hope you don't 'discover' 3 foot tall stumps in the spring. Splitters are marvelous. I did all my wood by hand too until 4 years ago, then life got good and I had more of my own time to use on other things. Besides, I am getting older. Good on ya.
