He is just green with Envy!!
If it were around these parts, I would guess it was frog DNA.

I think that us LS owners are tolerant of the wealthy types that can afford to buy the pretty green or orange paint on the "name brand" machines

Douglas fir, 20' 3" X 16.5" on the small end. If it hadn't come from a dry dead tree, I doubt I could have lifted it on my log forks. This will be my first attempt at a max length log for the used Wood-Mizer I recently bought. I don't have a wide angle so the view ain't exact. I am making some beams that will go into the shop I want to build. Finally, a shop!

Gary, it is an old bell buoy that washed up on the shore about a mile from home. On the Bay Of Fundy. It was painted and beat up quite bad. I have spent quite a long time sanding and polishing it. (Between many other projects) The bell is made from solid brass and weighs over 200 lbs. I have a lake at the back of my property that I will eventually build a log cabin on. I have put up a log swing for the grandchildren and will mount the bell on logs as well. The grandchildren will love ringing the bell, it has a great ring to it. It will make a great conversation piece. Thanks for the compliment. Here is a photo of the log swing and view from Gazebo.

Nice setup, looking forward to seeing pictures of the beams.

The skies opened not long after I got the log loaded so I got the mill covered up with a tarp. I had two strong young men available to help me today, but it was officially a rain out. There isn't a chance I could lift the slabs and flitches from that log. It might be a while before the weather gives me another break.
There is an old thread somewhere around here with my build of the log forks.

Yeah, that bell is really nice. I had some friends with a big iron bell that got stolen from their place on a bay shore. We have an 1894 schoolhouse on the Columbia River that had its bell stolen too. You better get an alarm on it.

Man I sure do miss Canada and its lovely sites. I spent 5 years working there, 1year in Calgary and 4 in Fort McMurray. I made a fly-in fishing trip every year to some northern lakes that are only accessible by air in the summer (winter could snowmobile in I suppose). Your lake view reminds me of some of them. Very beautiful. I have seen few places in the USA to compare with the beauty found in Canada. There is just so much unspoiled beauty there. The BAD; not many roads to get to these places, The GOOD; that's the reason they stay so pristine.

Looks like it is still a bit wet around there, kinda like here. It been raining or misting rain for the last 2 now going on 3 days. Looks like all of today is going to be a repeat of the last 2 with a light mist falling all day long.

I just got that mill in February and I must move it again to a third location to start another new mud wallow. There is precious level ground to park it on with access to load it too. Being as how my log forks will line up with the tilt of the rear wheels, it is really hard to find the right spot for it. I need some extended dry weather soon.
I am a firm believer that weather modification is going on with the chem trails. The satellite images of criss-cross trails over the North Pacific clearly show what is being done. It's almost always cloudy here in the spring anymore and it's been going on that way for five or six years now. Someone is choosing more rainy days for me.

Some get more, some get less. It is a cycle that I think has always occurred, now we are just more aware of it due to better communications. Houston area is traditionally about a 60-70" per year area, but have been in drought for last couple of years. Other places that are normally dry are getting floods. There is a finite amount of moisture to spread around the earth and if one place gets more than their share, someone else suffers. No doubt we do have some changing weather patterns but there has been changing weather for as long as the earth has had weather. Areas that are now covered in ice were at one time lush green (evidence by oil deposits in the artic for one thing) Glaciers covered all of north America during the ice age. I don't think the pollution by mankind substantially affects global weather, we contribute to it maybe speeding it up but mother nature does the majority of work with the volcanoes spewing out CO2 in thousands of tons per second during an eruption, plus ash clouds that disrupt the sunlight have a vast effect. We just have to live with what we are getting.
By the way, a little concrete and gravel along with some good drainage would go a long way on your mill area to reduce the mud.

I see most evidence generally taken for ice ages as evidence of past axis shifts. We have glaciers over here in northeastern North America, and then they go away. Mammoths are flash frozen on the other side of the globe in Siberia with temperate plants undigested in their mouths. Ice ages, or axis shifts? Prairie to permafrost in minutes on one side, and a glacial thaw that sent a flood across Eastern Washington on the other when a giant ice dam broke. Stuff happens (not necessarily as science might think at the moment, as what science says is subject to repeated change, as we have so often seen).
I see satellite photos of chem trails all over the North Pacific as someone messing with the atmosphere. Let them who have eyes, see.
=============================
I am not free to make a pad where the mill is presently located. When I get my shop built, then there might be a good permanent spot for a slab.
