Just plain ole f@#$^% up here. Got to 40 or so yesterday, everything half melted off. Dropped in to the teens with a high today of lower 20's. It's 20 now. Everything outside is iced over. Temps to go up and down , with 50 by Friday, and I've got to work Friday and Saturday. Cutting meat.
Was out today splitting and hauling in wood ? My hips are SCREAMING at me tonight. Come to think of it, Just about everything is at least moaning about today and yesterdays wood cutting festivities.
FINALLY got a saw to run right !! Of all the saws I have, Grabbed the 026 as a last resort, BOOM, After I dumped the old fuel, I worked like at champ. Got a truckload cut yesterday, hauled, split today. Also cut about 30' trunk wood, about 2' in diameter. Split it tomorrow if I can get to it.
Went into winter without a wood reserve, Been cutting almost daily. THIS SUCKS. Cutting in this shit is dangerous as hell. Just about all the wood has been red/black/water oak ? and it SUCKS for firewood. Thank God the 026 ran right, Was going to give up, Started cutting the big trunk. The 026 was throwing sawdust chips like a monster. Gave me enough traction to be able to cut on the ice/snow/sleet.
See what I can get in tomorrow without damaging myself....
