64F & 71% humid, feels muggy. Today was another nice one. 80F again tomorrow but cloudy with maybe some rain after sundown.

Farmer glad you are having good haying weather.

Drew, $.009 per gallon. ($55.50 for 6,000 gallons last month) We have a county water co-op connection at the road.

73F and partly cloudy @ 00:00 ...

Got most of the first two batches of sycamore cut into rounds today ... have about 6 cuts to finish and another 6 to do after that (2 logs), and then it's on to the second two loads.

Need to sharpen chains tonight ... probably try and get the splitter moved in as well and pull the base end.

Golden State came to play tonight ... the Cavs not so much.

Back in 2011 the HF one was made by Hudson.
Now that you mention it, I think I recall reading that at some point ...

But you get all those logs delivered.
True.

You could probably move them on the 3point.
Up to a point ... I think the lift capacity on the 3PH is 1350 lbs or so, 24" behind the pivot.

A tractor with another 15 to 30 ponies would be nice ... but that likely ain't gonna happen.

I'll bet ;)

Actually inside
Nice ... you can work regardless of the weather, or the time of day.

How wide are your doors ?

I've bought 3 sections total, 18 feet I think.
Sweet :thumbsup:

Especially when you get the timber delivered to your door.
LOL ... yeah ... very true.

I dunno that I'd wanna bank on that continuing forever tho' ... although I do have several sources at this point.

It's really a mixed bag ... there is a (somewhat misguided) young man who works for several small local outfits, all three do tree service work but one is mostly roofing (but the owner heats with wood himself), and another also does landscaping as well. One is strictly tree service. Two of the three owners have "issues" that I'd just as soon not make part of my life, as does the kid himself.

There's also another young man - next door neighbor actually - that works for another company. Smart kid, just out of high school who has helped me a lot ... he's been running equipment for a number of years, and is pretty professional and a very hard worker. Real go-getter. His company has offered to send him to school to become a certified arborist ... and he's smart enough to recognize the opportunity and take advantage of it.

None of these four company sell wood ... it either gets chipped or they take it to a local tree service/landscape company who has a grinder (mulch) who charges a fee for every load they accept ... or it goes to a landfill apparently.

So it could change in a heart beat.

In the meantime I'm counting my blessings while I've got them.

This is our last day of dry weather for a good few days. Any other time I would be out spraying, but because of you lot, specifically all of you who have put up pictures of the stuff you have welded, I will spend all day inside a boatyard workshop today, trying to learn how to weld with electricity. Many years ago I did a bit of gas welding, but I have never tried it with volts and amps.

Too late to teach an old dog new tricks ? We shall see, I'm sure it will be fun trying.

another warm day with thunderstorms likely this afternoon.
Watered all the planted trees yesterday and mowed the orchard.
Not planning on doing much today other than picking things up around here, so I can take off tomorrow early for DE and then PA for the weekend. My oldest brother moved from Delaplane to Markham VA, closer to the mountains and I hope to stop on the way home and say hi.

took some pics of the Washington harbor scene yesterday, pretty peaceful on a still morning.

Coffee is done brewing. 61° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 78° with heavy thunderstorms in afternoon. Not going to plan anything outside today. Maybe set on porch and watch storms pass by.
Eric, good thing to know how to do. Sure sure helps when something breaks in middle of a project.
