Next Year's Wood
« on: October 27, 2015, 08:27:31 PM »
Got rained out of harvesting so loaded up the saws and went tree hunting. Sure enough, I found a few that needed to be dropped. Dropped 4, limbed them and cut them to haul. Took home a pickup load, got the wife to bring a pickup and trailer, I hooked my trailer with skidsteer and grapple and we hauled home 4 cord. While I cut to length, wife went back and got skidsteer. Put splitter on skidsteer and proceeded to split wood. All loaded on hayrack for drying. Me.......HAPPY! Always nice to be off to a good start.

Up until a few weeks ago I was heading into the woods and marking ash trees that were obviously in a world of hurt, burned up a whole can of marking paint and started another, had 67 marked at last count.

Sad to think that many Ash trees are dying. I'm trying to save a couple in my front yard that provide a lot of shade but I think I lost ground this year.

Yep sooner or later the people of this country and the morons that run it will have to realize that its just too expensive to keep importing cheap junk from foreign countries, between jobs lost and all the dead trees from the asian emerald ash borer.
