I had a weird thing happen today.
I'm slowly working up a load of fir studwood, and today was cutting a
new trail.

I had dropped the fir in the foreground and was limbing it when my hard hat suddenly went flying, landing about 8 feet behind me. I looked and looked for a springpole but couldn't find one.

I took a break, then went back and looked again but never could figure out what happened.

I honestly don't know. It seems like a small spring pole came up and sent it flying, except that I couldn't find the culprit.

Wood Nymph?

It must have been laying there somewhere, quiet, relaxed, and unrecognizable - all unsprung - after it did it's dirty work. So many strange things can happen in the woods. Personal protection equipment can't be under rated and shouldn't be ignored. It must have been pretty substantial to send your helmet that far.

No rain up your way today ?

Are you going to ship the fir or saw it up for lumber on your new mill ??
